Do I have to list my brand names in LUCID?

Yes. § 6(2) no. 5 VerpackDG asks for the brand names under which you first make packaging available in Germany, and they are published.

Since 12 August 2026, § 5 VerpackDG, implementing Article 45(3) of Regulation (EU) 2025/40, requires a producer with no establishment in Germany to appoint an authorised representative before it first makes packaging available in Germany. Read § 5

Quick answer

Yes. § 6(2) no. 5 VerpackDG asks for the brand names under which you first make packaging available in Germany, and § 6(4) publishes them. Platforms and fulfilment providers check sellers against that register (§ 13(4)), so list every brand you sell under and add new ones without delay (§ 6(1)).
