EPR Registration for Importers
Register as an obligated importer across the relevant CPCB EPR streams before goods reach the Indian market.
EPR Registration for Importers
EPR registration for importers enrols companies that bring covered goods into India as obligated producers across the applicable streams — plastic packaging, e-waste, batteries, tyres, used oil and more. Under Indian EPR rules, importing covered goods triggers producer obligations. We identify every stream you touch and register you on each relevant CPCB portal.
How we handle it, step by step
We review your import catalogue to identify every EPR stream that applies.
We prioritise registrations across plastics, e-waste, batteries and other streams.
We register you on each relevant CPCB EPR portal and manage queries.
We consolidate obligations across streams into one compliance calendar.

EPR Registration for Importers — questions we get
Why are importers treated as producers?
Under Indian EPR rules, the entity that first places covered goods on the domestic market carries the producer obligation, and for imports that is the importer. This ensures goods made abroad still fund end-of-life management in India. Your obligation depends on the categories you import.
Do I need multiple EPR registrations?
If your imports span several covered streams — for example electronics with batteries in plastic packaging — you may need registration on more than one CPCB portal. We map your catalogue to identify every applicable stream. Each stream is then registered and tracked separately.
Does EPR affect customs clearance?
EPR is administered by CPCB rather than customs, but non-compliance can create market-access and enforcement risk for imported goods. Being registered demonstrates you are meeting producer obligations. We keep your registrations current to avoid disruption.
