📦 The new #PPWR will make EU cross-border sales prohibitively expensive for SME: ~€1,800 in compliance to ship one book to Hungary

99.8% of EU businesses are SMEs. Why not one EU platform + sensible thresholds?

🇪🇺 Let’s fix it via a European Citizens Initiative.

Wie geht es mit der EU-Verpackungsverordnung weiter, dem Schrecken kleiner Versandhäuser? Ich habe mir das @diepressecom.bsky.social genau angeschaut - und Erstaunliches gefunden. #PPWR
Umweltkommissarin Roswall drängt darauf, die Pflicht für Kleinunternehmer zur Ernennung eines Verpackungsbevollmächtigten spätestens Mitte Oktober aufzuheben. Das Europaparlament stimmt dem zu – doch die nationalen Regierungen bremsen.

So now we've got flat rate duty, IOSS fees, VAT, soon PPWR fees, courier customs handling fees, potential additional duties owed, and now an additional €2 for shits and giggles!?

Das bezieht sich aber auf die Paketsteuer, nicht auf die PPWR.

Letzte Chance für kleine Händler: EU will Feedback zur PPWR
Kleine Händler sind in EU-Konsultationen oft unterrepräsentiert – dabei trifft sie die PPWR-Bevollmächtigtenpflicht besonders hart. Jetzt ist die Gelegenheit, das der EU-Kommission direkt zu sagen.

C'est comme pour le ppwr, je me tiens au jus, apparemment ça cause des soucis même à Amazon (mdr).

Official FAQ for PPWR has been updated and as it stands, it sounds to me like small businesses will be able to avoid these extensive obligations?

Falls jemand Spaß am bürokratischen Irrsinn hat, sollte er sich mit der EU-Verpackungsverordnung (PPWR – Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation) beschäftigen.
Es ist so absurd, dass es schon wieder witzig ist.

I haven’t drawn in ages, so before new #Hansry art comes, here’s a print that’s now available in my shop! 💛

EU friends, you only have until tomorrow to order. Due to PPWR, I’ll stop EU shipping after Aug 10. Germany, UK & US aren’t affected.

BRIEF INFO about the new PPWR/EPR laws that comes to effect next 12th!
- What's PPWR/EPR?
PPWR regulates packaging and packaging waste within the EU. EPR is the extender producer responsability. PPWR defines the type of packaging used to deliver parcels and EPR the fees you need to pay to ship them.
August 10, 2026 at 6:19 PM
Ja, es hilft eh nicht. Ich hoffe jedenfalls, es wird nicht auch das noch mein winziges Etsy-Business betreffen, die neue EU-Verpackungsverordnung (PPWR) ist dramatisch genug für Miniunternehmer
October 1, 2026 at 11:02 AM
Well thanks to the really weird PPWR regs demanding we register with 27 different authorities we no longer ship to the EU.
