3. Before this notice, the seller who has submitted the registration should pay the corresponding official fee difference.

Seller Q&A

How are seasonal fees billed?

The seasonal fee is settled according to the account number. A seller actually only has one WEEE registration number. This registration number manages all the categories and brands registered by the seller, so the seller only needs to pay one seasonal fee, that is, one 96.4 euros per year (taxes not included).

Should I choose the number for 2022 or 2023 when submitting registration now ?

It is recommended that the seller submit the registration in 2023. On the one hand, it is approaching the Christmas holiday, and the certificate cannot be issued in 2022. On the other hand, the registration cost of the seller will be higher.
