- Atliekų tvarkymo įstatymas; Pakuočių ir pakuočių atliekų tvarkymo įstatymas; Gamintojų ir importuotojų registravimo taisyklėsCHANGED 1 Jan 2026: the responsibility option ‘paying the tax’ was abolished for single-use non-deposit packaging sold on the domestic market. The only remaining option is COLLECTIVE — you must pick a producer/importer organisation and update your GII registration. The contract runs for a year and is not changed mid-year. From 2026 registration is per stream (packaging is its own stream).
- Who registers
- You register yourself in the national system
- Reporting
- Quarterly summaries plus an annual reportpackaging accounting is kept in GPAIS: product/packaging lists, an accounting journal, quarterly summaries and an annual report. Since 9 Apr 2026 the composition of composite packaging must be entered too. If a company stops trading mid-year, the annual report covers the active period.

What is not settled
- Threshold Not established at sourceNo de-minimis threshold found at source.
- Authorised representative Not established at sourceThe AAA and GPAIS pages read do not address the authorised representative for foreign producers.
- Authorised representative Sources disagreeThe authorised-representative duty is under review. On 10 December 2025 the Commission published COM(2025) 982, part of the Omnibus VIII environmental simplification package, whose Article 2 would suspend Art. 45(3) until 1 January 2035; COM(2025) 983 proposes the same for the Single-Use Plastics Directive. The suspension as drafted covers producers ESTABLISHED IN THE UNION selling cross-border directly to end users. Producers established in third countries are not covered — member states may still require a representative or ensure traceability by other means. European Parliament committee reports of May 2026 would narrow the relief to micro and small enterprises. PROPOSAL, AND NOW LARGELY STOPPED: on 24 June 2026 the Council decided not to proceed with the suspension, opposed by a large majority of member states. A Parliament committee vote is expected around October 2026, and even the Parliament's narrower approach would keep the framework for producers outside the EU. Article 45(3) applies as written today, and for a producer established in a third country nothing in this proposal ever applied.
The same in every EU country

We do not register you, we are not your authorised representative, and we do not pay a scheme. This is public information gathered in one place and checked on the date shown. Confirm with the national authority before acting.

The number these registers ask for is kilograms by material for one year of deliveries. If your shipments are recorded as they go out, that number already exists.
