From Netherlands to France.
One partnership, one French leg covered.
Netherlands hosts a disproportionate share of European HQ entities for US brands (Amazon EU SCS, large platform operators, Avalara-class compliance firms), plus a thriving local e-commerce ecosystem. Cross-border to France is one of the highest-frequency expansion plays from Dutch e-commerce, and the French EPR layer is the typical operational blocker. Our partnership turns France from a multi-week disruption into a scheduled launch task.
Three or four reasons French EPR ends up on your roadmap.
Questions Netherlands-based firms ask us.
We operate Verpact-equivalent registration for Dutch packaging. Does it transfer to France?
No. The Dutch Verpact (formerly Afvalfonds) covers Dutch packaging EPR specifically. French Citeo (or Léko, Adelphe) covers French. Your clients shipping to France need separate French registration, and the French eco-contribution is computed independently of any Dutch contribution.
Many Dutch firms run pan-EU service offerings (Avalara is Dutch-owned, Hellotax operates EU-wide). How does our partnership differ from theirs?
The legal structure is the same: any non-French firm needs a France-established partner for French EPR. Operationally, our flat published pricing and the post-EcoDDS civil mandate (Code civil 1984/1998) are what differentiate us from older opaque French operators. For Dutch partners with international clients, the predictability is the value: you can quote French EPR on the call without escalating to procurement.
Netherlands hosts a lot of European HQs of US brands (Tesla, Netflix, Booking-like). Do they all need French EPR?
They need it if they place consumer goods on the French market. Netherlands establishment counts as EU establishment for some compliance purposes, but for French EPR specifically the relevant test is "established in France" — which a Dutch BV is not. So yes, the same France-established mandataire requirement applies. We become that requirement’s answer.
How is the partnership letter handled across jurisdictions (Dutch BV signing French partnership letter)?
Standard cross-border B2B contracting under EU rules of contract. The letter is governed by French law for our scope (you can choose Dutch or English for governance of separate annexes). Electronic signature accepted (eIDAS), no notary needed. Most partners sign within 24 hours of receiving the draft.
