What it means
The German Packaging Act (Verpackungsgesetz, VerpackG) obliges anyone who first places packaging on the German market to register with the LUCID register of the Central Agency Packaging Register (ZSVR) and to participate in a dual system (e.g. Grüner Punkt / Green Dot). This applies to sales, secondary, and shipping packaging. For Amazon sellers using FBA, registration is mandatory — without a LUCID number, a distribution ban may be imposed.
