Check Spain’s Extended Producer Responsibility requirements and provide information by December 31

Announcement reposted from Amazon:

The Spanish packaging laws set out the obligations for businesses that sell packaged goods to customers in Spain, including how to demonstrate compliance to online marketplaces.

If you are considered a producer, as per those laws, you’re required to comply with the applicable Extended Producer Responsibility obligations and take steps to prove your compliance to the Spanish Ministry for the Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge (Miteco). For an overview, go to Extended producer responsibility: Spain.

If you are not a producer, you must contact your producer to ensure that they’re compliant and obtain their packaging registration number.

If you are not established in Spain, you must prove your compliance to Amazon by submitting the packaging registration number for your products on the Compliance Information for Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) portal.

If you don’t submit a valid packaging registration number to us by December 31, 2023, you’ll be enrolled automatically in our Pay on Behalf service.

Under this service, Amazon will report and pay eco-contributions on your behalf for your sales on Amazon.es in 2023 and beyond, and recover these amounts from your seller account, in addition to a service fee, in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in the Extended Producer Responsibility Requirements policy for third-party sellers in Spain. This will ensure that your products can be sold on Amazon.es.

You’ll still be required to comply with all other applicable Extended Producer Responsibility organisational obligations, for example, waste prevention plans and eco-designs.
