Fees

All registered producers and importers must pay a fee to DPA-System.

Fees cover a registration fee and a fee for administration of the allocation scheme (only for those dealing in portable batteries) and other administrative tasks. In certain cases a fee for special services may be levied – including handling of incorrect registration.

Note that it is exclusively the producer/the importer who is responsible for reporting of those data that DPA-System uses for calculation of fees, among other things.

Fee rates for DPA-System’s administrative tasks are fixed and approved every year by the board of DPA-System and the Minister for the Environment.

Since DPA-System uses reported data without any further communication with the producer it is very important that data are correct and that the deadline for reporting is observed.

Registration fee

Registration in the producer register costs a one-off fee of DKK 1,000 excl. VAT per registration. If the producer or the importer is already registered in the DPA-System register for WEEE the registration for batteries and accumulators amounts to DKK 500.

DPA-System normally invoices this fee upon receipt of the registration.

Fee for administrative tasks

This fee is calculated annually on the basis of reports of marketed quantities. Thus, data reported by producers and importers (or their collective schemes) form the basis of calculation of the fee.

For small quantities of products a minimum fee of DKK 250 is levied.
