Curious as to how other sellers are intending to deal with new EU legislation regarding packaging. From August 12, every package sent to another EU country will require a local representative apparently but how will that work for so many individual sellers? @bandcamp.com any help please?

that's my thought but trying to find a positive way forward. I've seen lots of labels announcing ceasing trading in the last weeks sadly

even with a distributor in europe I can't see a way, 44 representatives at £200 each per year!

I wonder if this applies to small labels: "Exemptions apply for microenterprises, small beverage distributors and specific sectors." eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-conten...

Microenterprise... I bet they haven't defined that yet. Someone should have raised an outcry last year when they debated this. But I suspect those nasty details were left for the bureaucrats and the EMPs thought they were just outlawing nasty plastic.
