Is there a volume threshold below which we can ignore this?

Not for cross-border distance sellers. The obligation starts with the first shipment; only the amounts scale with volume.

What happens if we do nothing?

Past periods remain open, with interest and penalties on unpaid contributions, and marketplaces or B2B partners can require proof of registration before letting you sell.

Do you work with non-EU sellers too?

The mechanics are similar, but the import route and customs position matter. Ask us with your specifics and we will tell you honestly whether we are the right fit.

Based anywhere in the EU, shipping to Romania

The country you are based in changes the paperwork on your side, not the obligation in Romania. Any company that places packaged goods on the Romanian market — including by shipping directly to consumers — has to be registered here, has to cover recycling targets through a licensed organisation, and has to declare quantities monthly to the Environmental Fund Administration.

The four things that have to be true

1
You are registered in Romania
As a producer, for every stream your products fall under.
2
Your targets are covered
Through a contract with a licensed Romanian producer responsibility organisation.
3
You declare monthly
Quantities per material to the Environmental Fund Administration, by the 25th of the following month, zero months included.
4
You are represented locally
A producer without an establishment in Romania acts through an authorised representative based here.

What we take off your desk

Registration and the scheme contract, in your name, as your representative.
The packaging or product data model, built once from your SKU list.
Monthly calculation, filing and the exact amount and reference to pay.
The annual data report to the environmental agency by 31 March.
Authority correspondence, inspections and past-period regularisation.

The deadlines you will hear from us about

What	To whom	When
Monthly declaration and contribution	Environmental Fund Administration (AFM)	25th of the following month
Zero declaration for months with no shipments	Environmental Fund Administration (AFM)	Same deadline
Annual data report	National Environmental Protection Agency (ANPM)	31 March for the previous year
Data to your producer responsibility organisation	Your OIREP	Contractual, usually monthly

Start with the assessment

It is free and written: what applies to your products, what past periods look like, and what the monthly routine would be. No commitment before you have that in hand.
