Do I report B2B or transport packaging in LUCID?

No data reports for packaging outside system participation, but § 39 take-back, recovery and documentation duties apply.

Quick answer

No LUCID data report, but other duties apply. ZSVR says the obligation to submit data reports applies “exclusively to packaging that is subject to system participation”. Packaging outside system participation, typically transport or sales packaging that ends up with business end users, falls under § 39 VerpackDG instead: free take-back, recovery and annual documentation. Note that shipping packaging sent to consumers is always subject to system participation.
