The re-use targets for transport packaging (and sales packaging used for transporting products) are limited to situations where such packaging is used ‘within the territory of the Union’. Thus, both operators, i.e importers and distributors, must be located in the EU. In relation to transport packaging (and sales packaging used for transporting products) from third countries, this requirement should be understood as applying from the moment of import, and placing on the market, which means that it has completed all required import procedures and is allowed to circulate on the EU market. This typically takes place in the first warehouse in the EU.
