Reason: Verpact publishes the declaration matrix (aangifte 2023 / opgaaf 2024): kilograms, or pieces where indicated, per material type and packaging category, entered in Verpact's online portal; versions for 2025 and 2026 were not checked. Instica's file is its own working worksheet in kilograms by Instica category and does not yet reproduce that layout, so its figures are for the customer to enter in the recipient's form. The layout above is Instica’s working layout.\n\n> **Not yet published**: Oregon: the programme’s own report specification is not yet published. Reason: The detailed Oregon reporting guidance is released only to producers who have signed the CAA PPA. No public layout was found. The layout above is Instica’s working layout.\n\nThe two layouts share a file type and a delimiter, but each programme names its own columns and categories, so one file cannot be sent to both programmes. Each report is built from the same underlying measurements and exported separately."

Oregon asks for its first annual report earlier, on May 31 against June 1 in Netherlands.\n\n### Do I register in both Netherlands and Oregon?\n\nNetherlands requires producers to register. Oregon requires producers to register.\n\n### How do the fees per kilogram compare in Netherlands and Oregon?\n\nThe two schedules share material classes but the dataset holds no published exchange rate between EUR and USD, so the fees are shown in each currency without a ranking.\n\n### Which deadline comes first, Netherlands or Oregon?\n\nThe earliest annual report date is June 1 in Netherlands and May 31 in Oregon, 1 day apart. Oregon leaves less time to prepare, so its data has to be ready first."
