FAQ's

A company has outsourced packing of its products or logistics to another company. Which one of the companies is responsible for reporting the packaging data?

The company that owns the product at the moment of packing is the one required to report the packaging. A company should report the packaging on its own products even if it may have contracted out packing or logistic services to another company.

Should an importer declare packaging weights even if it does not see the packaging as it is delivered directly to the customer?

Yes. An importer is obliged to declare packaging weights using the best data available.

Do the regulations apply to a foreign importer and does this company have to report?

Producer responsibility for packaging concerns:

A Finnish packer* or a foreign company’s Finnish branch*, which packs products for the Finnish market
A Finnish importer* or a foreign company’s Finnish branch*, which operates as an importer of packed products to the Finnish market
A foreign operator, established in another country than Finland and sells packed products directly to users in Finland through distance sales

AND

the company has a total turnover of at least 1 M€

*the company has a Finnish business ID and is domiciled in Finland

**the company has a permanent establishment in Finland and is registered as a branch in the Trade Register maintained by the National Board of Patents and Registration

What packaging does a packaging manufacturer report?

A packaging manufacturer only declares the packaging that it uses to preserve, protect and transport its own products – in this case packaging.
