EPR compliance for Import-Export companies,
handled end-to-end.
We confirm exactly what applies, register you on the CPCB portals, then run targets, returns and audits.
Which EPR a Import-Export business must register for
You put these on the market — so each of these applies. Start with your primary obligation.
As an importer, this is where your EPR starts — registration, targets and returns, handled for you.
See how we handle it →Assuming the foreign manufacturer’s compliance covers you. The Indian importer is the obligated producer.
What triggers it: Imported goods in plastic packaging · Imported EEE, batteries & tyres · Pallet wrap & shipment packaging
What EPR actually looks like for importers & exporters
Importers make up more than 85% of all Plastic Packaging EPR registrations — over 45,000 are registered — because any plastic packaging arriving with a shipment creates the obligation. The Indian importer is the obligated entity whatever the overseas maker’s status, and importing electronics sold under your brand, batteries or equipment containing them, tyres, or vehicles fitted with tyres adds those streams as well.
From “are we liable?” to audit-ready — for importers & exporters
We confirm exactly which EPR streams and roles apply to an import-export business like yours — no over- or under-registering.
We register you on the right CPCB portal(s) with the correct role and product categories.
We meet your annual recycling / recovery targets via verified channels and file every periodic return on time.
We keep documentation audit-ready so you’re protected from Environmental Compensation.
