What differs is who the producer is and which threshold applies.\n\n#### A brand owner that makes or packs its own goods\n\nYou are the likeliest producer. Count the packaging you put into New Brunswick by material, compare it with the thresholds, and register (the dataset records that registration is required). Keep the weights; every later step starts from them.\n\n#### An importer or reseller of branded goods\n\nImporters are named producers in many regimes. Check the producer roles above: if the importer is listed for a packaging level, the duty for that pack can move to you from the brand owner, and the brand owner may ask for proof that you handle it.\n\n#### A seller that ships through an online marketplace\n\nSome regimes make the marketplace answerable and some leave the duty with you. This page lists the roles recorded for New Brunswick; where the marketplace role is not listed, assume you remain responsible and check the marketplace's own seller guidance.\n\n#### A small seller that sells only a few parcels a year\n\nCompare your figures with the 2 verified thresholds above. Being under a threshold can mean no fee, a simplified report or only a registration; read the effect column, because it is not always full relief."

These are the ones to avoid when you work from the records for New Brunswick.\n\n- Treating \"not yet published\" as \"no\". An open field means we do not know, and the safe reading is that a duty may exist.\n- Using another place's threshold. New Brunswick sets its own figures (see the table); a neighbour's number does not carry over.\n- Measuring in the wrong unit. Thresholds are written in kilograms, tonnes or a currency; convert before you compare.\n- Counting the wrong period. The period a deadline covers is part of the rule, and the table shows it where it is published.\n- Assuming a marketplace or a supplier handles reporting. Confirm in writing who the producer is for each pack and who is responsible for submission.\n- Filing on a calendar you copied from last year. Dates move; use the dated records on this page and recheck near the deadline.\n\nThe records show what the published sources say. A decision with real exposure belongs with the regulator or a qualified adviser."
