Proceed calmly in this order. First, check whether you already have a unique identifier: many makers have joined a producer responsibility organisation without knowing it, through their accountant or a marketplace. Next, if you have not, join Citeo or Léko; membership is completed online and the declaration can cover the current year. Also check whether you ship outside France: this is the only case that adds procedures, with a register and authorised representative per destination country. Finally, when next restocking packaging, choose a supplier established in the Union. A small business acting in good faith need not fear retrospective catch-up obligations: the administration is looking for producers missing from registers rather than makers regularising their position.
