This means that all UK companies exporting electric and electronic equipment (EEE) into an EU country, like Portugal, have to obey the following rules:
- If the export is to a local distributor, the local distributor has to handle with all the burdens of registering, hiring a scheme to handle the WEEE and reporting to the local entities. The UK company can no longer do that an its local compliance is at distributor´s hands.
- If the exporting is to end-users in Portugal (e.g. through online sales, as most of the sales are now) then the UK exporter has to be locally registered through an AR - Authorised Representative, and have a scheme to take care of the WEEE placed in the market.
Portugal AR, is a specialized compliance company, offering a full set of services, covering from the mandatory authorized representative service up to a complete a solution covering collective schemes management, report to all entities and free consultor services for local Extended Producer Responsibility's obligations.
