# Amazon EPR Québec: who is the producer?

Last verified: November 4, 2026 · https://instica.com/epr/for/amazon/quebec

<a id="answer"></a>

For Amazon sales in Québec, the sourced hierarchy names the brand owner, first distributor, online marketplace and seller as the producer of primary packaging. It adds secondary (brand owner, first distributor, online marketplace and seller). Instica estimates which role fits your sales and prepares the data; you confirm the role, then sign and submit.

## Who is the producer for Amazon sales in Québec?

A packaging producer is not one business for every pack. The hierarchy for Québec assigns a role at each packaging level, and 6 levels have roles named in the sourced text. Amazon sales touch 5 of them in Instica’s grouping, so the table below shows every level and marks the ones that apply to this channel.

<a id="hierarchy"></a>**Producer roles by packaging level in Québec**

| Packaging level | Roles named in the hierarchy | For Amazon |
| --- | --- | --- |
| primary | brand owner, first distributor, online marketplace and seller | Applies to Amazon sales |
| secondary | brand owner, first distributor, online marketplace and seller | Applies to Amazon sales |
| tertiary | brand owner, first distributor, online marketplace and seller | Not part of a typical Amazon order |
| shipping | brand owner, first distributor, online marketplace and seller | Applies to Amazon sales |
| service | brand owner, first distributor, online marketplace and seller | Applies to Amazon sales |
| other | brand owner, first distributor, online marketplace and seller | Applies to Amazon sales |

<a id="hierarchy-primary"></a>Québec: at the primary packaging level the producer hierarchy names the brand owner, first distributor, online marketplace and seller.

Primary packaging is the pack that directly holds the item and reaches the customer with it: the bag, jar, bottle, can or wrapper. For Amazon sales the hierarchy assigns it to the brand owner, first distributor, online marketplace and seller, in that order of precedence.

<a id="hierarchy-secondary"></a>Québec: at the secondary packaging level the producer hierarchy names the brand owner, first distributor, online marketplace and seller.

Secondary packaging groups or presents primary packs, such as an outer box, a sleeve or a multipack carton. For Amazon sales the hierarchy assigns it to the brand owner, first distributor, online marketplace and seller, in that order of precedence.

<a id="hierarchy-tertiary"></a>Québec: at the tertiary packaging level the producer hierarchy names the brand owner, first distributor, online marketplace and seller.

Tertiary packaging moves goods in bulk: pallets, stretch wrap, corner boards and outer cartons for warehouse and freight. For Amazon sales the hierarchy assigns it to the brand owner, first distributor, online marketplace and seller, in that order of precedence.

<a id="hierarchy-shipping"></a>Québec: at the shipping packaging level the producer hierarchy names the brand owner, first distributor, online marketplace and seller.

Shipping packaging is what an order travels in to the customer: the mailer or shipping box, void fill, tape and labels. For Amazon sales the hierarchy assigns it to the brand owner, first distributor, online marketplace and seller, in that order of precedence.

<a id="hierarchy-service"></a>Québec: at the service packaging level the producer hierarchy names the brand owner, first distributor, online marketplace and seller.

Service packaging is supplied at the point of sale to hand goods over, such as carrier bags, takeaway containers and gift wrap. For Amazon sales the hierarchy assigns it to the brand owner, first distributor, online marketplace and seller, in that order of precedence.

<a id="hierarchy-other"></a>Québec: at the other packaging level the producer hierarchy names the brand owner, first distributor, online marketplace and seller.

The hierarchy also assigns a residual level for packaging that does not fit the other levels, usually to whoever first distributes it. For Amazon sales the hierarchy assigns it to the brand owner, first distributor, online marketplace and seller, in that order of precedence.

The roles above are defined by the law, not by the channel. This is what each one means for a seller whose orders come through Amazon, and the tests below are the questions to answer about your own business. For a seller on Amazon the role is a question of facts: who made the product, whose brand is on it, who packs and ships the order and whether it was brought into the jurisdiction. You answer those questions in the workspace, Instica reads the hierarchy against them, and you confirm the result.

- **brand owner**: The brand owner is the owner of the brand or trademark the product is sold under. Look at the trademark on the pack: the business that owns it holds this role, even when another business filled and packed the goods.
- **first distributor**: The first distributor is the business that first makes the packaged goods available in the jurisdiction. Look at who first made the goods available locally: if that was you, the role falls to you.
- **online marketplace**: The online marketplace is the operator of the online marketplace the order goes through. Look at whether the platform handles the order itself: the operator can hold this role when it fulfils or collects payment.
- **seller**: The seller is the business that sells the packaged goods to the customer. Look at who sells to the end customer: the business that completes the sale holds this role.

The statute or regulator text behind the Québec hierarchy, in its source wording:

> incombent à la personne domiciliée ou qui a un établissement au Québec qui y agit à titre de premier fournisseur, à l’exclusion du fabricant
>
> Source: legisquebec.gouv.qc.ca: Q 2, r. 46.01 (https://www.legisquebec.gouv.qc.ca/fr/document/rc/Q-2,%20r.%2046.01), Retrieved: November 4, 2026, Language: fr

Paraphrase: Règlement portant sur un système de collecte sélective de certaines matières résiduelles (Q-2, r. 46.01), containers and packaging (Chapter II, Division 1). Art 4 al. 1: the owner or user (licensee) of a name or trademark who is domiciled or has an establishment in Québec is obligated for containers and packaging used to market or distribute a product under that name or mark, or identified by it. Art 4 al. 2: the obligations fall instead on the person domiciled or established in Québec acting as first supplier there, excluding the manufacturer, for products whose brand owner/user has no domicile or establishment in Québec, unbranded products, and unbranded containers/packaging. Art 5: for a product acquired from outside Québec for own use by a Québec person, municipality or public body, the obligations fall on (1) the operator of a transactional website through which the product was acquired that lets a non-Québec person sell there, otherwise (2) the person from whom the product was acquired, whether or not in Québec (mapped to seller). Art 6: where persons under art 4 al. 2 trade under one banner (franchise or other affiliation), the banner owner bears the obligation if domiciled or established in Québec. The regulation does not split by packaging level. Brand-owner residency is Québec, not Canada.

## What Amazon changes about the answer

The hub for Québec gives the default answer, primary: brand owner > first distributor > online marketplace > seller. For Amazon sales the outcome is primary: brand owner > first distributor > online marketplace > seller; secondary: brand owner > first distributor > online marketplace > seller; shipping: brand owner > first distributor > online marketplace > seller; service: brand owner > first distributor > online marketplace > seller; other: brand owner > first distributor > online marketplace > seller. The difference is the secondary, shipping, service and other levels, which an order placed through Amazon brings into scope and a plain in-store sale does not.

Instica groups the packaging levels an order placed through Amazon produces as primary, secondary, shipping, service and other. That grouping is our reading of how the channel ships goods, not wording from the law, and it is what makes the outcome here different from the default.

Amazon sellers either ship orders themselves or send stock to fulfilment centres, so the same business can be the packer of a shipping carton on one order and only the brand owner on the next. The order and shipment reports record the destination country and state of each order, which is the data a regional estimate needs.

<a id="outcome-primary"></a>For Amazon sales in Québec, the producer outcome is primary: brand owner then first distributor then online marketplace then seller.

<a id="outcome-secondary"></a>For Amazon sales in Québec, the producer outcome is secondary: brand owner then first distributor then online marketplace then seller.

<a id="outcome-shipping"></a>For Amazon sales in Québec, the producer outcome is shipping: brand owner then first distributor then online marketplace then seller.

<a id="outcome-service"></a>For Amazon sales in Québec, the producer outcome is service: brand owner then first distributor then online marketplace then seller.

<a id="outcome-other"></a>For Amazon sales in Québec, the producer outcome is other: brand owner then first distributor then online marketplace then seller.

The hierarchy for Québec names online marketplace as well, so an order placed through Amazon can bring the marketplace itself into the chain.

<a id="sales-channels"></a>Québec lists these sales routes as in scope: retail, online and distance sale.

Québec treats these sales routes as in scope: retail, online and distance sale. Orders placed through Amazon reach the customer remotely, so the remote-sale wording is the one to read.

<a id="thresholds"></a>

## Does a small-seller threshold apply in Québec?

3 thresholds are published for Québec. A threshold can exempt a small producer, trigger registration or move a producer to a lighter regime, so check these before anything else as a seller on Amazon.

<a id="thresholds-table"></a>**Thresholds published for Québec**

| Measure | Amount | Effect | Basis |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| tonnage | 1 tonne | exempt below the threshold | targeted materials |
| tonnage | 1 tonne | exempt below the threshold | targeted materials placed on the market |
| revenue | CA$1,300,000 | exempt below the threshold | annual sales (the fee schedule page says 1M or less, 1.3M as of 2024; the step-by-step reporting page says less than 1.3M) |

<a id="threshold-payment_exempt_tonnage"></a>Québec threshold on tonnage: 1 tonne; effect: exempt below the threshold.

<a id="threshold-report_exempt_tonnage"></a>Québec threshold on tonnage: 1 tonne; effect: exempt below the threshold.

<a id="threshold-report_exempt_revenue"></a>Québec threshold on revenue: CA$1,300,000; effect: exempt below the threshold.

<a id="revenue-scope"></a>Québec measures revenue as gross revenue inside the jurisdiction in CAD, over the year.

The way Québec counts revenue is set out above. Sales through several channels are added together, so one storefront alone may not tell you where you stand.

Marketplace sales count toward your totals even when the marketplace handles fulfilment, because the thresholds measure what you put on the market, not who drove the van.

<a id="register"></a>

## Registration and the organisation in Québec

Once you know you are the producer, the next questions are where to register and with whom. The facts below are the sourced answers for Québec; Instica prepares the data, and you register and report yourself.

<a id="registration"></a>Québec: producers must register through ÉEQ declaration portal.

The registration point is ÉEQ declaration portal (https://declaration.eeq.ca). Instica never stores your login for it and never files for you.

<a id="organisation"></a>Québec organises producer responsibility through a single producer responsibility organisation: Éco Entreprises Québec (ÉEQ); membership is required.

Québec uses a single producer responsibility organisation. Instica estimates your fees; the organisation invoices you.

<a id="exemptions"></a>

## Exemptions listed for Québec

Québec lists one exemption. An exemption is a rule in the source, so Instica quotes it rather than judging whether you qualify.

<a id="exemption-small_business"></a>Québec exemption: Under 1 tonne AND sales under 1.3 million: no report It does not have to be applied for.

Whether an exemption fits a business selling on Amazon depends on your totals across every channel, not on Amazon alone.

<a id="deadlines"></a>

## What to do next as a seller on Amazon

1. Confirm your role for Amazon sales in Québec against the table above.
2. Check the thresholds and exemptions with your total sales across every channel.
3. Review how Éco Entreprises Québec (ÉEQ) registers and invoices producers.
4. Export your Amazon orders and let Instica match the destinations and estimate the weights.
5. Review the estimate, correct any figure you know better, then sign and submit the report yourself at the registration point.

Instica measures, estimates and prepares the Amazon data. It does not decide your role, sign for you or submit anything.

<a id="faq"></a>

## Questions sellers ask

### <a id="q1"></a>Am I the producer if I sell on Amazon in Québec?

It depends on the facts of each product. The sourced hierarchy for Québec names the brand owner, first distributor, online marketplace and seller for primary packaging. If you made the product, own its brand or imported it, you are probably in that list; if you only resell another brand’s goods, someone else may be the producer. Instica estimates the likely role from your answers and you confirm it.

### <a id="q2"></a>Does Amazon register or report for me?

The hierarchy names online marketplace for Québec, so the marketplace can carry a role in some cases. Do not assume it covers your own products: read the source and keep your own records.

### <a id="q3"></a>What is different about Amazon compared with selling in a shop?

An order placed through Amazon is shipped to the customer, so shipping packaging enters the picture. For Québec the outcome is primary: brand owner > first distributor > online marketplace > seller; secondary: brand owner > first distributor > online marketplace > seller; shipping: brand owner > first distributor > online marketplace > seller; service: brand owner > first distributor > online marketplace > seller; other: brand owner > first distributor > online marketplace > seller. The hub for Québec describes the default for primary packaging only.

### <a id="q4"></a>Is there a size threshold for Amazon sellers in Québec?

Québec threshold on tonnage: 1 tonne; effect: exempt below the threshold. The threshold counts all your sales, not only Amazon.

### <a id="q5"></a>When is the next date I should know about?

Québec: report date May 31, 2026, covering 2026 report (supply data used for the 2027 producer financial participation, PFP 2027).

### <a id="q6"></a>What happens if I do not register?

No verified penalty is published for Québec yet. Instica does not predict penalties.

### <a id="q7"></a>Do I need an organisation to handle this for me?

Québec works through Éco Entreprises Québec (ÉEQ). Instica estimates your fees and prepares your data; the organisation registers you and issues the invoice.

<a id="estimate"></a>

## How these figures are made

> **Estimate**: Instica measures, estimates and prepares. Every figure on this page is read from a sourced record or computed from one, and each carries its data quality.
