From Italy to France.
One partnership, one French leg covered.

Local ecosystem we reference: CONAI, COREPLA, COMIECO, RICREA, CIAL, RILEGNO, COBAT, RAEE consortium

Examples of Italy firms in our partner network or in active conversation: CONAI member organisations, Italian VAT compliance providers, Italian e-commerce launch consultants

The CONAI consortium and its sub-consortia operate the Italian packaging EPR ecosystem. Your Italian clients shipping to France — Italian fashion brands on Amazon France, gastronomy importers, design exporters, wine and spirit producers — need French-specific representation under both AGEC (existing) and PPWR Article 45 (from August 2026). We become your France-established arm without you operating a French entity.

Why this matters for Italy firms

Three or four reasons French EPR ends up on your roadmap.

Italian e-commerce exporters target France as #1 EU market beyond home

France is the most common second-country market for Italian D2C and Amazon FBA brands, particularly in fashion, design, gastronomy and wine. EPR France hits them on day 21 of launch.

CONAI ≠ French Citeo — no automatic recognition

Italian packaging EPR contributions through CONAI do not transfer to or substitute French Citeo registration. The French legal entity must register independently with Citeo (or Léko or Adelphe) via a France-established mandataire.

PPWR Article 45 multiplies the obligation across the EU

From 12 August 2026, every EU Member State requires a local authorised representative for packaging EPR. Your Italian clients shipping to France, Germany, Spain need a representative in each. We are the France leg.

You can not legally be the French mandataire from Milan

The Conseil d’État’s EcoDDS ruling (10 November 2023) requires the French mandataire to be France-established. Italian firms cannot register directly on SYDEREP. We resolve that constraint as your local delivery partner.

Country-specific FAQ

Questions Italy-based firms ask us.

We work within the CONAI consortium for Italian packaging. Can we maintain Italian operations and add France via partnership?

Yes. CONAI and the sub-consortia (COREPLA, COMIECO, RICREA, etc.) cover Italian packaging EPR; we cover French. The two operate independently — Italian membership and contributions stay with you and CONAI; French registration and eco-contribution go through us. Your client sees one combined invoice if you wish (we wholesale, you mark up); or two separate invoices if you prefer transparency.

Italian dichiarazione SISTRI / RAEE / batteries — does French EPR have an equivalent?

Yes, with different operational details. France runs WEEE through Ecosystem and Ecologic (two competing accredited eco-organisms; producers choose one). Batteries through Corepile (most common for portable) or Screlec. Annual declarations go to ADEME via the SYDEREP teleservice rather than the Italian Registro Nazionale dei Produttori. We file the French side; you handle the Italian side as today.

Are Italian wine and spirits exporters in scope of French EPR?

Yes. Glass packaging is covered by Adelphe (the wine/spirits/glass-heavy eco-organism, owned by Citeo). For Italian wineries exporting to French consumers via Amazon Italia → Amazon France logistic chain or direct D2C, French packaging EPR applies. We handle Adelphe registration as part of the standard packaging stream.

How do we handle invoicing for Italian B2B clients used to Italian VAT and reverse-charge rules?

We invoice you on French wholesale (HT, French VAT only applies if your firm is registered in France; otherwise reverse-charge or zero-rated B2B EU). You invoice your Italian client under Italian VAT rules. Standard EU intra-community B2B mechanics; no special construct.
