The EPR compliance of Polish batteries has entered the countdown stage.

On August 18, 2025, the new version of the EU Battery Regulation (EU) 2023/1542 will officially come into effect in Poland.

For cross-border sellers, if they fail to comply by this date, they will face a series of serious consequences such as product removal from the platform, store restrictions, sales interruption, and damage to brand reputation.

The EU has a broad definition of "producer", and if you meet at least one of the following conditions, you are considered a producer and need to register under battery laws:

Cross border direct sales:Non EU domestic enterprises sell batteries or battery containing products directly to EU end consumers through e-commerce platforms. For example, a Chinese technology company selling Bluetooth earphones on Amazon Germany requires registration with the German Battery Law.

Local resale:Enterprises registered within the European Union resell batteries or battery containing products under their own brand. For example, a Dutch trading company that purchases Chinese batteries and sells them in the Netherlands with its own trademark must complete the registration under Dutch battery law.

Unscented resale:If the resold goods are not labeled with manufacturer information, the producer is also responsible.

First import:Companies that introduce battery products from other countries into the EU market for the first time need to register even if they do not sell directly.

Product delisting:Amazon, Allegro, eMAG and other platforms will force the removal of products without EPR numbers;

Decreased store traffic:The platform restricts traffic exposure and prohibits advertising placement;

Legal penalties:The Polish environmental department will issue a fine, with a maximum amount of 50000 Polish zlotys or calculated based on the weight of the product;

Losing pan European delivery eligibility:Battery products cannot enter the Polish warehouse, which affects the entire pan European logistics network;

Brand reputation loss:Consumer trust has declined, affecting subsequent conversions and repeat purchases.
