Sellers listing products on Amazon Spain without valid EPR packaging registration are facing listing blocks and account suspensions. Amazon began enforcing EPR packaging compliance in August 2026, and national authority fines run from EUR 2,000 to EUR 100,000.

EPR packaging rules require sellers to register with the national producer responsibility scheme in each EU market where they sell. In Spain, that scheme is ECOEMBES. Sellers that have been operating without ECOEMBES registration -- treating it as optional or deferred -- are now discovering what active enforcement looks like. Listings come down. Accounts get flagged.

For US brands selling on Amazon Spain, or planning to add it to their EU marketplace mix, this is a live operational risk. The enforcement is not theoretical. Amazon is acting on compliance data it holds about seller accounts, and accounts without registration are being actioned. The window for addressing this before it becomes an account health issue is closing.

The principle behind EPR packaging is that producers bear financial responsibility for the packaging waste their products generate. Each EU market has its own scheme with its own registration, reporting, and fee structure. Spain (ECOEMBES), Germany (Verpackungsgesetz), and France (CITEO) operate independently. Registration in one country does not cover others.

EPR packaging registration is part of Expandly's standard market setup process for every EU market. Brands working with Expandly are registered into each relevant EPR scheme as part of onboarding, which means Amazon account health and marketplace access aren't put at risk by a compliance gap that's straightforward to close.

Getting registered into ECOEMBES now is straightforward. Dealing with a listing block after the fact is not.
