What changes
Companies that place packaged goods on the Estonian market (including through import) must report annual packaging and packaging-waste data to the national packaging register by 31 March each year, either directly or through a recognised producer-responsibility organisation. Companies placing under 20 tonnes of packaging a year are exempt from the data-audit requirement, but not from reporting itself.
Who is affected
Any business that packages goods for the Estonian market or imports packaged goods, from micro-companies upward; audit exemption only applies below 20 tonnes/year.
Sizes: micro, small, medium, large · Sectors: E-commerce, Retail, Manufacturing, Hospitality / tourism · Applies if: We import goods into the EU
What to do
Register as a packaging undertaking (or contract with a producer-responsibility organisation) with the packaging register, track packaging volumes placed on the market, and file the annual report by 31 March. If you place 20+ tonnes/year, arrange the required data audit before filing.

Penalty
