Anyone who produces or places packaging (including the packaging of imported products), batteries or EEE on the Romanian market declares - from the factory to the online shop that brings goods in from abroad. The declaration is filed monthly, by the 25th, for the previous month, by material category: paper-cardboard, plastic, glass, metal, wood.
The classic mistake is not lateness - it is declaring quantities that do not tie in with reality. You weigh a piece of packaging once at goods-in, declare it for two years running at the same weight, and in the meantime the supplier has reduced it by 15%. Or the reverse: you declare less than you place on the market, and at an inspection the difference becomes a contribution with penalties.
The real financial stake is the recovery target: for the quantities for which you cannot prove recovery through an OIREP (producer responsibility organisation) or individually, you pay the contribution of 2 lei/kg. At dozens of tonnes a year, a poorly kept packaging portfolio - inflated weights, wrong categories - means thousands of euros paid for nothing.
That is why we always tie the AFM declaration to the actual packaging portfolio, code by code. It is the same discipline Yvora imposes for PPWR: a single source of truth, from which all the documents are generated.
The first conversation is free: you find out what applies to you, by when, and who does it - you, us, or the application.
