Estonia: annual packaging report (pakendiaruanne) due 31 March
Anmärkning om datumet: Recurring annual deadline under Pakendiseadus §24: packaging undertakings must submit data on packaging placed on the market and packaging waste handled for the previous calendar year to the national packaging register at least once a year, by 31 March. For the 2026 reporting year this is 31 March 2027.
Vad som ändras
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.
Vem som berörs
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.
Storlekar: mikroföretag, litet företag, medelstort företag, stort företag · Branscher: E-handel, Detaljhandel, Tillverkning, Hotell, restaurang / turism · Gäller om: Vi importerar varor till EU
Vad du ska göra
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.
Sanktion
Non-fulfilment of recycling/recovery targets triggers packaging excise tax (pakendiaktsiis) under the Pakendiaktsiisi seaduse §6 lg 5; the registrar can also apply supervisory measures for late/non-filing under the Pakendiseadus.
