8th AUGUST 2026
SALES TO EU AND NORWAY ARE TEMORARILY SUSPENDED.
As if the scrapping of the 150 euro de-minimis was not enough, starting from 12th August 2026, all exporters to the EU and Norway will now have to be registered for EPR or Extended Producer Responsibility.
- Registration needs to be completed separately for each EU member state and Norway.
- The cost of registration and requirements varies between member states.
I have therefore made the decision not to supply my products to the EU and Norway until I get more details of the new legislation and hopefully take appropriate action.
ON A PERSONAL NOTE - I'm all for reducing waste to save the planet but I feel that the EU has gone about this in the wrong way. As usual, the big guys will find ways around the legislation while the small guys take the it.
I enjoy keeping my customers and visitors up-to-date with what I’m up to and the engagement that I receive in return really makes it all very worthwhile. If you want to read more about products, fixes, references and me, then please don't hesitate to visit my archives…
