Czech EPR guides for sellers

Selling to customers in Czechia? Start with what you sell, how it reaches the customer and who first makes it available on the Czech market. Extended producer responsibility (EPR) helps organise and fund collection and treatment when products and packaging become waste. A single order can involve packaging, electrical equipment and batteries, each with its own registration and reporting arrangements.

Packaging EPR

Check the packaging around the product and everything added for shipment.

When to check
If you ship packaged goods directly to Czech end users, check your role under Czech and EU packaging rules. If you sell to a Czech distributor, establish who first makes the goods available, who adds shipping packaging and how each party fulfils its obligations.
What to prepare
List product and shipping packaging by material and empty weight. Link the packaging to actual Czech deliveries for each reporting period. Bring any existing EKO-KOM contract, producer number and the last period reported.
Registration and reporting
For a new EKO-KOM arrangement through a representative, the producer, representative and EKO-KOM sign the agreement. EKO-KOM issues the system fee invoice and sends the participation certificate with the producer number after payment. Its standard quarterly filing deadlines are 30 April, 30 July, 30 October and 30 January for the preceding quarter. Agree an earlier date for giving Kodo the records.

Electrical equipment (WEEE)

Check equipment that depends on electricity, including products powered by batteries.

When to check
Check your role if you supply electrical or electronic equipment directly to Czech end users, including business end users. If you use a Czech distributor, confirm who imports or first makes the equipment available in Czechia. A foreign distance seller that qualifies as a WEEE producer must appoint a representative established in Czechia in writing. Check the route for registration before placing equipment on the market.
What to prepare
List each model or SKU, its function and technical specification, the documented equipment weight and units supplied in Czechia. For reporting weight, exclude packaging, batteries and instructions. Account for electrical accessories as part of the equipment where applicable.
Registration and reporting
Kodo coordinates the agreed setup with the selected Czech compliance scheme. Confirm your data deadline and reporting frequency in the agreement. The 31 March deadline for the previous calendar year concerns a producer's own annual report where required. Follow your scheme's schedule for supplying its data.

Batteries

Check batteries sold on their own, built into a product or included in the box.

When to check
A rechargeable device or a product supplied with spare cells can involve both WEEE and battery EPR. Check who first makes the batteries available in Czechia. A foreign seller that qualifies as a battery producer by selling directly to Czech end users under distance contracts must appoint a Czech EPR representative by written mandate.
What to prepare
List the battery category and chemistry, number of batteries per product, weight per battery and quantities supplied in Czechia. Record whether each battery is built in, supplied in the box or sold separately. Ask the supplier for a specification if a weight is missing.
Registration and reporting
Check the Czech producer registration for batteries separately. Confirm the reporting dates with the applicable scheme. Kodo's standard combined offer is for ordinary portable batteries within the agreed scope. Other categories are assessed and quoted individually.

From your first enquiry to the first report

  1. Describe how you sell

    Share your company name and country of establishment, website or marketplace, who buys and imports the goods, a product list and a rough idea of Czech sales. Attach your existing registrations or scheme contracts when available.

  2. Agree who does what

    You supply and confirm the source data and sign the required documents. Kodo checks the records and, within the agreed scope and written mandate, coordinates registration, prepares reports and files them when the agreement and effective mandate cover filing. The registration route determines who submits the entry. The scheme organises collection and charges its fees under the agreement.

  3. Sign and keep the confirmation

    Sign the complete original PDF according to the recipient's instructions. When adding a digital signature, use the same complete PDF and preserve earlier signatures. For Kodo contracts, you can use your own signing ID in the portal. Keep the signed version and the scheme or register confirmation. These show the setup stage and the coverage that applies to you.

  4. Confirm the report and keep proof

    Send actual Czech sales data by the agreed date. Review the version Kodo prepares and confirm the source data are complete. Keep the submitted report and its filing evidence, and the scheme's acceptance if it issues one.

Frequently asked questions

Can I prepare before my first Czech sale?

Yes. Share the intended first sale date, a sample catalogue, how customers will buy and who will import. Check the applicable registration and representation steps before you start supplying the Czech market.

What if we have already sold in Czechia?

Share the actual first supply date, the records for earlier periods and any filings already made. Agree how to handle each period before assuming that a new arrangement covers historical activity.

Can one order affect all three streams?

Yes. A boxed rechargeable device sent to a Czech end user can involve shipping and product packaging, the equipment itself and its battery. The same sale can support all three calculations. Keep the material weights, equipment weight and battery data separate.

We already have a Czech registration. Do we start again?

Send the number, certificate or agreement, covered activities and last filed period. For a change to an EKO-KOM arrangement with a representative, EKO-KOM has a procedure to replace the existing agreement after settlement. Agree the handover dates before changing the reporting arrangement.

Which Czech number should we enter in Allegro?

Use the producer number for the country and category shown in the Sales Center. For Czech packaging, check the PPWR/BDO section and the EKO-KOM client identification number on your participation certificate. For batteries, use the Czech battery producer registration number if you are the producer and Allegro requests it. If the screen asks for the representative's number, provide it separately in the designated field.

What do we pay for?

Kodo's work is priced separately from compliance scheme costs. EKO-KOM charges a system fee per calendar year and contributions based on the packaging reported. WEEE and battery costs depend on the applicable scheme, product categories and quantities. The WEEE offer may include a one-time setup fee. Historical work and integrations are quoted separately when needed.

What if there were no sales, or a previous report was wrong?

Confirm zero quantities for the Czech stream and period and check whether a nil return is due. Flag unknown weights and obtain supporting data before filing. For an error, share the original report, the affected period and the corrected records so the correction can be traced.

Does creating an account or uploading a file complete the registration?

A free Kodo account gives you a starting point. Written appointment, submission and the relevant confirmation are separate steps. Agree the start date and ask which record proves registration or filing for your specific case.
