How this estimate works
Each cost line is a researched 2026 EUR range for a small-to-mid online seller. EPR registrations (packaging, WEEE, batteries) are charged per EU country you sell into, so they scale with the country count; the Authorised Representative, EORI/VAT and CE figures are flat. This is an indicative planning figure, not a quote— your real cost depends on volume, packaging weight and material, product risk class, and the providers you choose. Variable per-unit eco-contributions (cents to euros per item) and high-volume tonnage fees are excluded. Always confirm against live provider quotes.
