Fnac Darty and the French EPR number: who registers, who pays
Direct answer: This channel publishes that it collects the sums due on the seller’s sales. Under French law, a producer with no establishment in France appoints a representative established in France (article L. 541-10-9-1 of the Environment Code). The same article says the obligation is deemed satisfied where a marketplace established in France sees to those obligations itself, for the products concerned, for the sales made through it, with written confirmation. It is you who determine whether that applies to your own sales; this page does not say that a seller is exempt, nor that it is not.
