Are you a distributor?
Do you distribute products that are already packaged in Spain from an EU country or through imports from third countries?
In that case, it is possible that you are a product producer and, therefore, you must assume the obligations contained in Law 7/2022 and RD 1055/2022, on packaging and packaging waste.
Distributors must register as long as:
• Be the first distributor to introduce the packaging into the Spanish market.
• They use packaging for said distribution (boxes, pallets, shrink film, etc.), so they would become packagers and therefore product producers using these containers.
• In the event that the product producers have not designated an authorized representative in Spain, the first distributor or merchant of the packaged product based in Spain will be, alternatively, the subject responsible for the obligations established for the product producers.
Important note: The issuer of an invoice for packaged products must enter the RPP number on it, whether or not it is a producer of the product in question.
