New from 12 August 2026
The EU packaging regulation (PPWR) starts applying.
Regulation (EU) 2025/40 (PPWR) entered into force on 11 February 2025 and applies from 12 August 2026. Read it on EUR-Lex.
The PPWR adds EU-wide packaging rules on top of the national ones. It does not remove the German requirement to register in LUCID and take part in a dual system before you sell into Germany.
Die EU-Verpackungsverordnung (PPWR) gilt ab dem 12. August 2026. Die LUCID-Registrierung und die Systembeteiligung in Deutschland bleiben weiterhin verpflichtend.

Where it saves you
One quick check before Germany blocks your listings.
Amazon is legally required to verify LUCID and deactivate listings that lack a valid packaging registration for Germany.
Even small cross-border sellers shipping boxes and mailers into Germany fall under the VerpackG.
The register is public — check that a supplier or client is actually registered and licensed.
What you're exposed to
Why a missing LUCID number is expensive.
The ZSVR can fine sellers who place packaging on the German market without a LUCID registration and a system participation.
Marketplaces must check LUCID and are obliged to block offers without a valid registration number.
Selling packaged goods without registration is a distribution prohibition — you may not sell into Germany at all until fixed.

FAQ
Common questions about LUCID and German EPR.
Do I need a LUCID number to sell on Amazon Germany?
If you sell packaged goods to customers in Germany, the VerpackG requires you to register in the LUCID Packaging Register before placing packaging on the market. EPRCheck asks three questions to tell you if this applies to you.
What happens if I don't register in LUCID?
It is a distribution prohibition. The ZSVR can fine up to €200,000 per case, and Amazon and eBay are legally required to block or remove your listings until you provide a valid LUCID number.
Is EPRCheck affiliated with the LUCID register?
No. EPRCheck is an independent informational tool based on the public rules of the LUCID register and the German VerpackG. It does not create registrations or issue an official LUCID number. Registration is free at verpackungsregister.org.
Is LUCID registration enough for German packaging compliance?
Not always. Producers usually also need dual-system participation and packaging-volume reporting. Confirm the current official requirements for your business in the LUCID Packaging Register.
