Selling packaged products in Italy may require compliance with Italy’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) rules for packaging, including CONAI registration and ongoing environmental contribution obligations.
EaseCert helps businesses understand and manage Italian packaging compliance requirements, especially companies selling into Italy without a local legal entity.
Who This Service Is For
This service is suitable for EU and non-EU companies selling packaged products to Italian customers, including e-commerce brands, Amazon sellers, Shopify stores, manufacturers, importers, distributors, and marketplace sellers.
What Is CONAI?
CONAI is Italy’s national packaging consortium. Companies placing packaged products on the Italian market may need to register with CONAI, classify packaging materials, declare packaging quantities, pay environmental contributions, and follow Italian packaging labeling rules.
Our Italy Packaging EPR Services
CONAI Registration Support
We assist with applicability assessment, registration preparation, required documentation review, packaging category identification, portal guidance, and communication support with CONAI where necessary.
Packaging Data & Material Classification
We help organize and classify packaging information, including paper, cardboard, plastic, glass, wood, metal, and composite packaging. This supports correct environmental contribution declarations and ongoing reporting.
Italy Environmental Labeling Guidance
We review packaging labeling requirements for Italy, including material identification codes, recycling instructions, environmental labeling wording, and digital labeling options where appropriate.
Annual Reporting & Ongoing Compliance Support
Where required, we assist with packaging data organization, CONAI declarations, CAC reporting support, and compliance workflow setup for future sales into Italy.
How the Process Works
Step 1: Initial Assessment
We review your company structure, sales model, packaging types, distribution method, and Italian market activity.
Step 2: Packaging Information Collection
You provide company registration details, VAT information, packaging materials, estimated Italian sales volumes, and product or packaging examples.
Step 3: CONAI Registration Support
We guide and coordinate the registration process and help prepare the required information and documentation.
Step 4: Ongoing Compliance Guidance
If needed, we continue supporting declarations, labeling, and packaging reporting obligations after registration.
Typical Timeline
Onboarding and registration support can usually begin within a few business days after receiving the required information. Actual timing depends on packaging complexity, data availability, internal client approvals, and CONAI processing timelines.
Important Notes
EaseCert provides compliance coordination and registration support services. We are not an Italian law firm, tax advisor, or environmental authority. For complex tax, legal, or local representative questions, local Italian specialists may need to be involved.
