Since 2006, when electrical and electronic appliances intended for household use are first placed on the market in France, the advanced disposal fees included in the total cost of the product must be shown separately on the sales documents (visible fee). This applies as well to furniture placed on the French market. This is supposed to raise end users’ awareness of the extended producer responsibility.
Additionally, end users must be informed about the advanced disposal fees at the point of sale. In the case of online sales, this is the respective product page.
Furthermore, producers who bring products onto the French market via online marketplaces are obliged to inform the platforms of the disposal costs paid.
If you sell via marketplaces in France, you must be prepared for the marketplaces to ask you to indicate the advanced disposal fees per item you offer on the platform.
