"markdown": "\n\n## Who is the producer in Switzerland\n\nIn Switzerland, packaging EPR obliges producers to organise or fund the collection and recycling of the packaging they place on the market. The sections below set out who counts as the producer, which thresholds decide whether a business is in scope, and what has to be filed.\n\nWho counts as the producer in Switzerland: not yet published. Reason: Duties fall on manufacturers/importers and traders in parallel with no stated precedence, so an ordered hierarchy is not stated in the source.\n\nIn Switzerland, the obligation can be transferred to another party under the stated rules.\n\nTransfer detail: Membership of, or financial contributions to, an industry organisation (Branchenorganisation) that takes over the take-back tasks.\n\nWhether affiliates are counted together in Switzerland: not yet published. Reason: The ordinance has no rule on aggregating parents, subsidiaries or affiliates for the threshold.\n\nThe revenue basis in Switzerland: not yet published. Reason: The ordinance does not say whether 'Umsatz' means Swiss or worldwide turnover, so the basis cannot be set.\n\nRoles matter because an online seller, an importer and a brand owner can each be the producer for the same pack, and a pack is counted once. If you sell into Switzerland through a marketplace, check whether the marketplace or you are recorded as the obligated party. Confirm who is responsible for reporting."

Count the packaging you put into Switzerland by material, compare it with the thresholds, and register if the registry asks for it. 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.

An open field means we do not know, and the safe reading is that a duty may exist.\n- Using another place's threshold. Switzerland 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.

Whether you are the producer depends on the roles listed for each packaging level.\n\n### Who is the regulator in Switzerland?\n\nThe regulator recorded for Switzerland is Cantons enforce (Art 25); the Federal Office for the Environment (BAFU) receives the reports and mandates and supervises the glass-fee organisation (Art 14-15, 21-24).\n\n### Is there a small-business threshold in Switzerland?\n\nSwitzerland records 1 verified threshold; see the table above for the amounts and what each one changes.\n\n### When are filings due in Switzerland?\n\nSwitzerland records 3 verified deadlines; they are listed with the period each covers.\n\n### Do I have to register in Switzerland?\n\nRegistration in Switzerland is not yet published.\n\n### Does Instica file my report?\n\nNo. We measure your packaging, estimate what you may owe and prepare the report file. You review it, sign it and submit it yourself, and Instica never stores regulator-portal credentials.\n\n### How do I know the data is current?\n\nEach record shows the source address and the date we retrieved it. This page was last verified on November 4, 2026.\n\n### Can I rely on this page for a decision?\n\nIt summarizes published sources to help you prepare. For a decision that carries real risk, ask the regulator or a qualified adviser."
