WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) regulations require businesses selling electrical or electronic products to manage the environmental impact and safe recycling of what they sell. This is part of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) – an EU legal requirement for any business placing electrical or electronic products on the market.
Whether you’re selling through Amazon, eBay, or your own shop, WEEE compliance is mandatory. Non-compliance can result in fines, regulatory action, or suspension of online marketplace accounts.
Do You Need WEEE Compliance?
You need WEEE regulations compliance if you:
- Sell through online marketplaces such as Amazon or eBay
- Sell electrical or electronic products under your own brand
- Import electronics into the EU
- Supply products in unbranded or generic packaging
- Sell battery-powered items or products containing batteries
If your business is based outside the EU, you must appoint an Authorised Representative in each country where you sell. This is not optional – it’s a legal requirement.
J&P Accountants can act as your Authorised Representative, managing all registrations and electronics compliance on your behalf so you stay compliant without the administrative burden.
The Risks of Non-Compliance
Regulatory Fines & Penalties – Under WEEE regulations in the EU, legal enforcement can result in significant financial penalties. Regulatory authorities take non-compliance seriously and pursue action against offending businesses.
Marketplace Account Suspension – Amazon, eBay, and other platforms actively monitor WEEE regulations compliance. Non-compliant sellers face account suspension, funds withheld, and removal from the platform.
Customs & Import Disruption – Failure to meet WEEE regulations can trigger customs delays, product seizures, and import restrictions, disrupting your supply chain.
Legal Liability in Multiple Jurisdictions – If you sell across the EU, you face potential legal action from multiple regulatory authorities enforcing WEEE regulations.
Reputational Damage – Public compliance failures damage customer trust and long-term brand credibility.
WEEE compliance is non-negotiable for online sellers. Protect your business, your accounts, and your reputation.
