Frequently asked questions
Is an authorised representative included in the price?
Yes. The appointment of an authorised representative established in Greece is included in the package price.
Is my German LUCID packaging registration enough in Greece?
No. Each member state maintains its own register. Registration in Germany has no effect in Greece.
How long does registration take?
Time to registration: 8–12 weeks (value from experience, 2026), counted from the point at which all documents are available.
In exceptional cases, such as holiday closures at the recycling scheme or the authority, it takes longer. If you sell before registration is complete, the recycling contributions for that period are charged retroactively.
Start well before your planned sales launch.
How often do you have to report?
Annually. We handle the deadlines and the communication with the authority and the recycling scheme.
What additional costs may arise?
Not included in the package price: recycling contributions, authority fees, statutory VAT.
Everything else is covered by the package price.
