COMMISSION NOTICE Guidance document for Regulation (EU) 2025/40 on packaging and packaging waste · European Union
The definition of importer is based on the definition of ‘importer’ in Article 3(9) of Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 (12) and should be interpreted in line with the general interpretative guidance provided for in the Blue Guide (13). It follows from that definition that two cumulative conditions must be satisfied: (a) establishment in the EU, and (b) placing on the market packaging or packaged products originating outside the EU.
