# Oregon EPR do I have to register

Last verified: November 5, 2026 · https://instica.com/epr/oregon/do-i-owe

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

Under the rules we hold, Oregon has a packaging EPR obligation, and the producer is the manufacturer or brand owner, licensee, or importer. The size limit on record is $5,000,000, so small producers may fall below it. The answer depends first on whose brand is on the packaging.

<a id="tool"></a>

## Check your own case

Choose your role, add your revenue and the packaging you supply, and the checker applies the rules this page describes to your figures. It runs in your browser and stores nothing.

Interactive tool: Do-I-owe checker (works on the web page)

The Instica free plan covers the threshold check, exemption tracking, the deadline calendar, packaging templates and fee sources, so you can start without paying. [See what the free plan includes](https://app.instica.com/epr/free-plan)

<a id="how"></a>

## How the checker reaches a result

The checker asks the same questions in the same order for every place, and it stops with a result as soon as a question settles the matter. It never fills a missing answer in for you.

1. Whose brand is on the packaging? If it is another company's brand, you are not the producer for those goods under the roles recorded for Oregon. If you have not said, the checker asks first.
2. Do you sell into Oregon? A place where you report no sales returns not obligated.
3. Does a size limit apply? The checker compares your revenue or packaging weight with each limit on record and, where a limit is not met, returns below threshold.
4. Is an exemption on record for your case? An exemption that is not yet verified is never assumed, and the checker asks for more data instead.
5. Are related companies counted together? Where the rules add up affiliated companies, their figures are combined before the limits are compared.

## Who is the producer in Oregon?

The first question is whose duty it is. Oregon assigns the duty by packaging level, and the table shows which roles count as the producer at each level.

<a id="producer-levels"></a>**Producer by packaging level in Oregon**

| Packaging level | Producer |
| --- | --- |
| other packaging | [first distributor](#level-other) |
| primary (sales) packaging | [manufacturer or brand owner, licensee, or importer](#level-primary) |
| secondary packaging | [manufacturer or brand owner, licensee, or importer](#level-secondary) |
| service packaging | [first distributor](#level-service) |
| shipping packaging | [packer or shipper](#level-shipping) |
| tertiary (transport) packaging | [first distributor](#level-tertiary) |

- [Oregon: for other packaging the producer is the first distributor.](#level-other)
- [Oregon: for primary (sales) packaging the producer is the manufacturer or brand owner, licensee, or importer.](#level-primary)
- [Oregon: for secondary packaging the producer is the manufacturer or brand owner, licensee, or importer.](#level-secondary)
- [Oregon: for service packaging the producer is the first distributor.](#level-service)
- [Oregon: for shipping packaging the producer is the packer or shipper.](#level-shipping)
- [Oregon: for tertiary (transport) packaging the producer is the first distributor.](#level-tertiary)

Find the row that describes you. Where more than one role appears in a row, the checker asks whose brand is on the product before it gives a result.

<a id="revenue"></a>

## Does revenue matter in Oregon?

[Where a revenue limit applies, Oregon counts gross revenue of the organisation.](#revenue-basis) [The revenue figure is taken over the fiscal year.](#revenue-period) [Limits are stated in USD; a figure in another currency is converted with a published rate before it is compared.](#revenue-currency)

> **Not yet published**: how affiliated companies are counted: not yet published. Reason: ORS 459A.863(32) does not say whether parent, subsidiary or affiliate revenue aggregates. The rule text (OAR 340-090-0840) was not read.

## What the rules cover in Oregon

A duty applies only to the packaging and the sales channels that the rules cover. This is what is on record for Oregon.

<a id="cases"></a>

## Every case, worked through

Below, the same engine that powers the checker is run on a set of standard cases for Oregon. Each case states the input, the result and the next step. The figures are test inputs set at half, equal to and twice each recorded limit, read as of September 29, 2026; they are not rules.

#### <a id="case-rev_below_small_producer_revenue-heading"></a>Revenue of $2,500,000: below the limit

Your own brand is on the goods and your revenue is $2,500,000, half the limit of $5,000,000. The figure is under the $5,000,000 limit, so the engine returns below threshold: the exemption on record applies. [Result: below threshold.](#case-rev_below_small_producer_revenue) Next: keep the figures that put you below the limit, and check again as you grow.

#### <a id="case-rev_at_small_producer_revenue-heading"></a>Revenue of $5,000,000: exactly at the limit

Your own brand is on the goods and your revenue is $5,000,000, exactly the limit of $5,000,000. The rules for Oregon set a limit that needs a figure this case does not supply, such as a different measure or unit, so the engine asks for more data. [Result: more data needed.](#case-rev_at_small_producer_revenue) Next: supply the missing answer in the checker to get a result.

#### <a id="case-rev_above_small_producer_revenue-heading"></a>Revenue of $10,000,000: above the limit

#### <a id="case-vol_below_small_producer_tonnage-heading"></a>Packaging of 0.5 metric tons: below the limit

Your own brand is on the goods and you supply 0.5 metric tons of packaging, half the limit of 1 metric ton.

[Result: below threshold.](#case-vol_below_small_producer_tonnage) Next: keep the figures that put you below the limit, and check again as you grow.

#### <a id="case-vol_above_small_producer_tonnage-heading"></a>Packaging of 2 metric tons: above the limit

Your own brand is on the goods and you supply 2 metric tons of packaging, twice the limit of 1 metric ton.

#### <a id="case-rev_below_uniform_membership_fee_band-heading"></a>Revenue of $5,000,000: below the limit

Your own brand is on the goods and your revenue is $5,000,000, half the limit of $10,000,000.

#### <a id="case-rev_at_uniform_membership_fee_band-heading"></a>Revenue of $10,000,000: exactly at the limit

Your own brand is on the goods and your revenue is $10,000,000, exactly the limit of $10,000,000.

#### <a id="case-all_above-heading"></a>Above every limit

Your own brand is on the goods and every figure is above every limit on record. The limit is met, so the engine returns obligated. [Result: obligated.](#case-all_above) Next: register, report and pay as the sections below describe, and prepare your figures in a workspace.

## Frequently asked questions

### <a id="faq-owe"></a>Do I owe packaging EPR in Oregon?

Under the rules we hold, Oregon has a packaging EPR obligation, and the producer is the manufacturer or brand owner, licensee, or importer. The size limit on record is $5,000,000, so small producers may fall below it. The answer depends first on whose brand is on the packaging.

### <a id="faq-producer"></a>Who is the producer in Oregon?

At the primary packaging level the producer is the manufacturer or brand owner, licensee, or importer. The table above lists the other levels.

### <a id="faq-limit"></a>Is there a size limit in Oregon?

Yes. The limit on record is $5,000,000; below it the rules treat you differently, as the cases above show.

### <a id="faq-organisation"></a>Do I have to join a producer responsibility organisation in Oregon?

Membership of an organisation is required. The organisations on record: Circular Action Alliance.

### <a id="faq-register"></a>Will Instica register or file for me in Oregon?

No. Instica measures, estimates and prepares your figures and files. You register, sign and submit each filing yourself, and Instica never stores portal credentials.
