VAT.\n\nFrance: the schedule lists a further fee, “Abandoned-waste contribution per UVC with 1 packaging unit: household goods (including tobacco)”, of 0.1482 EUR cents per UVC excl. VAT.\n\nFrance: the schedule lists a further fee, “Abandoned-waste contribution per UVC with 1 packaging unit: beverages”, of 0.1722 EUR cents per UVC excl. VAT.\n\nFrance: the schedule lists a further fee, “Abandoned-waste contribution per UVC with 1 packaging unit: supplies and shipping parcels”, of 0.1545 EUR cents per UVC excl. VAT.\n\nFrance: the schedule lists a further fee, “Abandoned-waste contribution per UVC with 1 packaging unit: grocery”, of 0.1631 EUR cents per UVC excl.

VAT.\n\nFrance: the schedule lists a further fee, “Beverage grouping film contribution per UVC”, of 0.0861 EUR cents per UVC excl. VAT.\n\nFrance: the schedule describes its eco-modulation method as “percentage”.\n\nThe schedule also lists 9 other fees, which are not part of the per-kilogram estimate on this page.\n\nThe schedule describes an eco-modulation of its rates, so the fee a producer pays can be adjusted up or down from the base rates shown here."
