Quick answer

Since 12 August 2026, a company with no establishment in Germany that supplies packaged goods directly to end users in Germany — consumers or businesses that use the goods — must appoint a Bevollmächtigter by written mandate in German. ZSVR states that no exemption from this duty is possible. Your LUCID registration stays with you: German law makes it a höchstpersönliche Pflicht that cannot be delegated.

Mandatory since 12 August 2026

No German establishment and you supply German end users directly? ZSVR: “Eine Befreiung von dieser Pflicht ist nicht möglich.” ZSVR

Selling B2B on pallets? It may cost less

Transport packaging to businesses is generally not system-participation packaging. It falls under the take-back duty in § 39, and with non-consumer customers the cost allocation can be agreed. VerpackDG § 39

Not sure whether the duty applies to you?

Four questions, based on the regulator's own producer test. It will also tell you when you do not need us.
