International Trade & Market Entry
Coordinate German packaging obligations, LUCID readiness and system participation for relevant goods placed on the market.
Selling packaged goods into Germany can create packaging registration, system participation and reporting duties. A marketplace account or VAT registration does not fulfil those obligations.
We coordinate the producer-role assessment, packaging categories, volumes and records. LUCID registration must be completed by the responsible producer or authorised person within that business; it cannot simply be submitted by an external consultant under a power of attorney. System contracts and any permitted authorised representative are separately assessed.
Provide supply chains, packaging materials and weights, brands and sales destinations. The deliverable identifies duties, required information and an ongoing reporting plan. System fees, testing, registrations for other waste streams and specialist legal advice are separately scoped.
Coutts Consultants coordinates the records and the appropriate customs, tax or legal professional. The quotation identifies registrations, assessments, submissions and external charges. Acting as a customs representative or another responsible statutory party requires a separate eligible appointment; authority clearance and commercial acceptance remain independent decisions.
