For VAT compliance providers.
VAT compliance providers already own the cross-border tax conversation with non-EU sellers. French EPR is the natural adjacent product — same buyer, same urgency profile, same risk-aversion. The legal blocker for you is the same one your clients face: the mandataire REP must be France-established. That is precisely what we provide, on referral, white-label, co-branded or API tracks.
The strategic case in three or four points.
From first lead to live IDU, in four steps.
Email forward to a dedicated alias, or API POST in batch. Standard fields: client legal name, country, products, sales channels, urgency flag.
We run the KYC, prepare the mandate (Code civil 1984/1998), and the client signs electronically. White-label tracks: your branding on the cover, our legal annex.
We file with Citeo, Ecosystem, Refashion, etc. as applicable. IDU lands on SYDEREP within 2-3 weeks per stream. You receive a status notification at every milestone.
We file the 28 February declaration each year. You invoice your client under your terms; we invoice you on wholesale. Quarterly commission reports for referral tracks.

The questions your BD team will ask first.
Our clients already deal with us for tax. Adding another partner adds friction. How do you minimise that?
White-label is the right model for you. Your clients never see us. They pay you under your brand; we appear only on the SYDEREP register as the legally required France-established mandataire. We provide a one-paragraph client communication template that explains the regulatory necessity, similar to how a fiscal representative appears on French VAT registrations. In our experience your clients accept the structure without negotiation.
Can EPR registration data leak into the VAT registration or vice versa?
No. We hold the EPR registration data under a separate processing record (RGPD). Your VAT data stays with you. The only shared field is the legal entity identifier — and we do not transmit anything back to your VAT workflow unless you explicitly request it via the API.
Does French EPR really apply to clients we already serve for IOSS?
Yes for a large fraction. IOSS covers low-value B2C imports to the EU; French EPR covers any product placed on the French market in scope of one of the ten streams, regardless of value. A US D2C brand with IOSS registration shipping packaged products to French consumers is in scope of household packaging EPR, and likely WEEE if the product is electronic. Cross-check our scope-check tool for any specific client.
How do we price EPR to our clients?
Wholesale grid + your markup. We sell to you below the published €490 + €249/month per stream. You set the resale price your clients see. Typical partner markup is 30-60% over wholesale; some partners bundle EPR into a "France compliance" line item with VAT to avoid line-item negotiations.
