A fulfilment service provider may not store, pack, address or ship packaging for a producer that is not properly registered in LUCID (§ 13(4) VerpackDG). The central agency ZSVR provides an automated data match so fulfilment providers can check. An unregistered seller is a problem for your warehouse, not only for the seller. Sources (2)

Why it matters to a warehouse
- The duty is yours too. § 13(4) VerpackDG applies to fulfilment service providers directly, with an automated register match provided by ZSVR.
- A warehouse does not make a seller established. Stock at a German 3PL does not give a foreign seller a German establishment, so it still needs a representative. See does a German warehouse count.
- Your volume depends on it. A seller who cannot ship stops paying for storage; your costs stay the same.
What you can offer
