For cross-border direct sales by an EU-established producer, the current PPWR requires an EPR authorised representative in Czechia. Czech law also lets a person not established in Czechia appoint a representative and specifically requires one for certain distance-sold single-use plastic packaging. Confirm which rule and registration route apply to the seller.
