Which countries require you to register?

If you run a small webshop and ship parcels to other countries, you may have to register there, even when it is only a few parcels. PackNav asks six questions about what you sell, how you pack and where the parcels go. You get a reading for each country, with the next step and the source under the answer.

Each country gets red, yellow or green. Under the answer you see the next step and a link to the authority.

The quick check costs nothing. Bas saves up to three countries, the register and the reminders, and costs 49 € a month excluding VAT.

What applies right now

If you sell directly to consumers in another country, you may count as a producer there, even for a single parcel. A local representative is often required as well.

PPWR applies from 12 August 2026

The EU packaging regulation (EU) 2025/40 applies directly in every EU country. Anyone who sells packaged goods directly to consumers in another country is a producer there.

No general exemption for micro-enterprises in Sweden

According to Naturvårdsverket, companies with producer responsibility must join a producer-responsibility organisation (NPA or TMR), register with Naturvårdsverket, report and pay fees.

First Swedish report by 31 March 2027

It covers the period 12 August–31 December 2026 under the new producer definition.

The EU is discussing relief — nothing is decided

In October 2026 the European Parliament and the Council voted for different reliefs from the representative requirement for small volumes. Negotiations continue. The requirement applies until a text is adopted and published. Registration, reporting and fees are not affected by the proposal.
