Here's what you owe, and who decides.
Ministerio para la Transición Ecológica y el Reto Demográfico (MITECO) runs the product producer register. Ecoembes handles the packaging scheme route. We prepare both files and keep the Spanish status beside every other country you open.

Who carries it
Two answers decide whether any of this is yours.
Where your company is established, and whether you sell to consumers or through a local reseller. Those two put you on one of four routes, and the route decides who places the goods on the market in Spain for the first time: the person the law calls the producer.
-
EU seller, selling to consumers
You place the goods on the market in each country you ship to, so you are the producer there, even without a company in it.
-
EU seller, selling through a reseller
Your local reseller is often the first to place the goods on the national market, which can make them the producer instead of you. It depends on the country, and it is the first thing we check.
-
Non-EU seller, selling to consumers
You are the producer in each country you ship to. Several of them also require a representative established there, a role we can fill.
-
Non-EU seller, selling through a reseller
Whoever imports into the EU usually becomes the producer. That may be your reseller, and it may be you. Several countries also require a representative established there.
The scope check asks the two questions and names your route in about five minutes. Check my scope
Streams
Four streams. They never share a file.
Packaging goes to the packaging scheme, electronics to the WEEE register, batteries to the battery register. Mixing them is the most common reason a file comes back.

Textiles
We hold no documented source for textile in Spain yet. That does not mean you owe nothing. It means we will not put a claim on this page we cannot back. Ask us and a person will check it.
Dates
The dates that cost money if you miss them.
Everything on this page carries the day we last checked its source. Where a value is not published by the sources we hold, the line says so rather than filling itself in.

No declaration date in our sources
Our sources for Spain do not publish one. We would rather leave this blank than print a date you might plan around. The review names the calendar that actually applies to your file.
- First
A Spanish NIF
Issued by the Agencia Tributaria. It is an administrative prerequisite, not an EPR obligation, but nothing else can be filed without it. €299 alongside an EPR service, €449 on its own.

What we do
We prepare and we submit. MITECO decides.
Every line below is something we do, not something we obtain. The difference matters on a page about Spain: the register decides whether and when to accept a file, and no provider can promise otherwise.
- Prepare your registration for Registro de Productores de Producto, in the shape MITECO asks for.
- Obtain the prerequisites first: a Spanish NIF. Nothing can be filed without it.
- Submit each stream separately, to its own register or scheme.
- File the declarations that follow, on the calendar Spain runs.
- Record every response from MITECO and the schemes, and tell you what it means in plain English.
- Resubmit at no extra fee if a file we prepared comes back.
Price
Per country. Spain is one of them.
The same single fee applies everywhere we run. What changes between countries is what the scheme charges on top, and that is billed by them, never by us.
Before scheme and authority fees. See our fees
No setup fee, and the same figure every year. Open a second country and it is the same figure again: the account is shared, the fee is not.
In your coverage
Spain is one row. Here's the rest.
This is the part a national site cannot do for you. One account holds every country you open, one calendar holds every date, and one dashboard says where each file stands, including the ones you have not started.

Questions about Spain
Three answers we give on every file in Spain.
They are the same three everywhere we run, and only the names change. The scope check answers the first one for your company in about five minutes; MITECO decides the second, which is why we say what we do about it rather than what we obtain.
Do I need a company in Spain?
No. This is built for non-resident sellers. Depending on the country and stream you may need an authorised representative established there. That's a role we can fill, and the scope check says whether you need one.
What if the file is rejected?
It happens, usually because a product spec or a company document doesn't match. We tell you what came back, in plain English, and resubmit once it's fixed. No extra fee for a resubmission on a file we prepared.
I already have a provider in Spain.
Keep them. You can start with the countries you don't cover yet, and the dashboard still shows Spain so your calendar is in one place.
The other seven are on the questions page. Read all questions
Going further
The local detail lives on eprspain.com.
We run that site too. It carries the long-form guidance for Spain, in more depth than this page, and it is the canonical source for the national detail. This page is about how Spain fits into everything else you owe.
Free. No card. A person answers.
shippeu.com is an independent private service. It is not a government office, an authority, a register or a collective scheme, and it is not affiliated with, authorised by or endorsed by MITECO, Ecoembes, Agencia Tributaria. Each authority and each scheme decides independently whether and when to accept an application.
Figures on this page come from published guidance. Last source review: 14 August 2026. Rules change. The scope check is reviewed by a person before any quote.
