Information about reporting for 2024

The reporting period is every year from 1 January. In this period, you will report as a producer/importer all you have sold on the Danish market in the previous calendar year.

You can yourself select and deselect categories, so it fits with your range of products. The years are shown in the tabs on the page. The year open for reporting is the previous calendar year.

If your company is affiliated to a compliance schemes, they will transfer data on your behalf. Thereby, you must NOT report yourself to DPA on electronics, industrial and automotive batteries:

Compliance schemes

BUT!
Some businesses choose to assume their producer responsibility themselves and are thereby in whole or in part (only for certain categories) not members of a compliance scheme. They are called individual compliers.

1. If you are an individual complier OR has product categories, e.g. professional products that are not affiliated to a compliance scheme, you must report directly in the register.
2. Portable batteries must always be reported by yourselves through SKAT and your business file there. Read more here
3. The reporting declaration must be signed by the business itself, irrespective of membership of a compliance scheme

You can change your report throughout the entire reporting period – from 1 January to 31 March. Contact your compliance scheme or your authorised representative if you disagree with the data transferred or make the corrections yourselves if you have typos.

It is not possible to make changes after 31 March.

Request for corrections: Changes to previous year’s reporting.

If the reporting period has ended you can create a request for corrections in the next reporting period and then change the quantities that have been reported incorrectly.

A feature has been developed so that you can open up for corrections to the last report without the involvement of DPA.

If your auditor or your bookkeeper has found that there are errors in your report, you can log in and sign a request for corrections; then the system opens the previous report, and you can make your corrections.

Compliance scheme or Authorised representative (AR)?

If you are a member of a compliance scheme or you have an AR, they must make the corrections on your behalf. In practice it is done as follows: when you have signed the request for corrections the compliance scheme or your AR will be notified that you have changes to the report, and they are asked to enter the correct quantity.

Refund for re-export means that a given quantity of the electrical equipment that a producer has placed on the Danish market in a calendar year and reported to the producer register in Denmark in that same year has been sold for export by a subsequent level in the sales chain.

Re-export cannot be reported more than two years back, i.e. for the present reporting year or as a change to last year’s report.

The quantity must always be reported under the year the quantity was sold. Thereby, the re-exported quantity cannot be higher than the quantity placed on the market in Denmark in that reporting year.

Refund means a set-off in the producer’s allocation, financial guarantee, and fee to DPA for the export out of Denmark by a subsequent level in the sales chain of part of the registered quantity placed on the market.

In connection with the annual reporting the producer can report quantities re-exported in the reporting year or the preceding year.

A refund can only be paid out against documentation. When a report is made of re-exported quantities the exported quantity must be documented before the end of the reporting period, before any refund can be granted.

This documentation is in the form of a Solemn Declaration in which the business having bought and re-exported the quantity in question documents the following by its digital signature:

1. Sale and export for the year – no more than two years back
2. The magnitude of the re-exported quantity stated in kilograms and broken down on categories and end-users.
3. That the quantity in question originates from the producer in question.
