Activate a country once. Pay €1 + applicable VAT for each declared parcel processed through that country's compliance ledger. Pay actual authority, PRO, system and other regulatory charges separately. We do not present regulatory money as Beyoğlu Professional revenue.
The standard model is €25 + applicable VAT for each newly activated country, charged once, plus €1 + applicable VAT for each declared parcel processed through the applicable country compliance ledger.
Regulatory EPR contributions and other statutory or third-party amounts are separate. They depend on the Member State, packaging composition, packaging weight, applicable tariff, PRO/system, reporting period and other national rules.
Consequently, the expression “€25 + €1/parcel” describes Beyoğlu Professional's standard service pricing. It does not mean that total EU packaging compliance costs only €25 plus €1 per parcel.
Standard pricing
Professional service revenue and money owed to regulators, PROs or EPR systems remain separately identifiable.
The charge applies when a new country compliance file is opened and configured for the Producer.
It is non-refundable once the activation work has been performed, because the setup work exists independently of later sales volume.
The standard charge follows the declared shipment record, not the number of products or SKUs inside the parcel.
One order shipped in three separately declared parcels creates three parcel fees. Several SKUs inside one declared parcel create one parcel fee.
These amounts are calculated according to the applicable country-specific legal, authority or system basis.
They are not presented as Beyoğlu Professional revenue and are not converted into a hidden percentage markup.
Beyoğlu Professional service fees are stated exclusive of VAT. The VAT treatment shown on the final invoice depends on the contracting entity, customer status, customer location and the tax rules applicable to that supply. Regulatory charges can have a separate VAT or tax treatment determined by the underlying payee and national system.
Service-fee calculator
Regulatory contributions are deliberately excluded. A service-fee calculator should not fabricate a national EPR tariff that has not been selected and verified.
Enter only countries being activated for the first time and parcels that enter the declaration ledger.
What does €25 activate?
The €25 charge is deliberately small. It does not replace separate authority, PRO or EPR-system charges.
Activation means Beyoğlu Professional has opened the country operating route under the standard commercial model. Registration becomes legally effective according to the relevant national authority, register, PRO or system process. We do not describe an application, pending file or incomplete mandate as an approved regulatory registration.
How pricing follows the work
The commercial model mirrors the compliance architecture instead of charging a large flat retainer before transaction volume is known.
Producer, registration, representation, system and reporting routes are configured.
An approved API, webhook, structured import or supported workflow supplies shipment information.
Destination, SKU, packaging profile and quantities are mapped into the country ledger.
Parcel records become the factual basis for the national declaration workflow.
Regulatory Charges, Contributions & Taxes
Regulatory liabilities can be calculated by weight, material, packaging category, units, tariff band, minimum contribution or another national basis.
Where a country operating route requires regulatory prefunding, the expected liability is separated from Beyoğlu Professional service revenue. The final amount is reconciled against the actual reporting basis and applicable tariff.
Parcel enters the country ledger.
Applicable tariff logic is applied.
Expected regulatory amount is made available separately.
Reporting period confirms actual liability.
Regulatory money reaches the appropriate payee.
Where customer regulatory funds must be prefunded, the production payment architecture is intended to use an appropriate licensed payment service provider, safeguarded client-money account or equivalent legally appropriate third-party structure. The exact payment provider, account architecture, contracting entity and country process must be disclosed before customer regulatory funds are collected through that production route.
| Possible charge | Nature | Typical payee | Included in €25? | Included in €1? | Pricing treatment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Producer registration fee | Regulatory / administrative | Authority / register | No | No | Separate actual charge where applicable. |
| PRO / system contribution | EPR fulfilment | PRO / system operator | No | No | Separate, based on applicable tariff or contractual quotation. |
| Minimum annual contribution | Country / system-specific | PRO / system / other payee | No | No | Separate where imposed. |
| Environmental tax / levy | Statutory | Tax authority / public body | No | No | Separate according to national law. |
| Deposit-return amount | Deposit / DRS | DRS operator / relevant payee | No | No | Kept separate from ordinary packaging EPR. |
| Beyoğlu country activation | Professional service | Beyoğlu Professional | — | — | €25 + applicable VAT. |
| Beyoğlu parcel operation | Professional service | Beyoğlu Professional | — | — | €1 + applicable VAT per declared parcel. |
Some national systems publish detailed tariffs. Others depend on the chosen PRO, packaging category, contract, quotation or another applicable mechanism. Where there is no single official national tariff, we do not invent one for a simplified calculator.
What the €1 parcel fee pays for
The value is created by converting commercial shipment data into a controlled national packaging-EPR record.
Parcel assigned to the correct destination-country ledger.
Transaction remains linked to the applicable legal Producer.
SKU and shipment packaging are attached to the transaction.
Tariff logic can create expected regulatory exposure.
Parcel records accumulate into the relevant national reporting period.
Shipment, declaration and payment records remain reconcilable.
Country compliance data can support later marketplace evidence workflows.
Commercial events are separated from actual reportable movements.
New SKU, changed packaging or new legal situation can be reviewed.
Worked examples
These figures calculate Beyoğlu Professional service fees. They do not estimate the country-specific regulatory bill.
€25 country activation + €50 parcel fees.
Regulatory charges: additional, according to the applicable national route.
€125 country activation + €500 parcel fees.
Regulatory charges: additional and country-specific.
No second activation charge.
500 declared parcels × €1, plus applicable regulatory charges.
Marketplace-neutral pricing
The compliance ledger follows the Producer, country and declared parcel. It does not create a separate standard tariff simply because the order came from another marketplace.
Automation reduces repetitive manual work. It does not justify inventing APIs a marketplace has not published.
Used where approved production access exposes required fields.
Event-driven ingestion where supported.
Structured import where no suitable API exists.
Existing commerce stack can provide the controlled transaction source.
Drives the standard transaction service fee.
New legal situations stop blind automation.
If a marketplace, ERP, OMS or proprietary system requires custom integration work beyond the standard supported operating routes, the technical scope must first be defined. Any separate development charge, if applicable, is agreed before work begins. No universal bespoke-connector price is represented here where none has been adopted.
Why can the price be this low?
Low transaction pricing should come from process architecture and automation. It should not come from hiding regulatory money somewhere else in the invoice.
National operating logic is structured rather than researched from zero for every parcel.
Known SKU and packaging data are reused until a controlled change occurs.
Known shipments can move from commerce data into national ledgers without repetitive re-entry.
Human review is concentrated on events that can change the compliance result.
Zero-sales scenario
If no declared parcel enters the country ledger, there is no €1 parcel fee for a parcel that did not exist.
However, a country, authority, Producer register, PRO or system can impose fixed, minimum, registration, supervision or similar amounts even where sales volume is very low or zero.

Pricing FAQ
The current standard charge is €25 + applicable VAT for each newly activated country. It is a one-time, non-refundable professional-service charge once the activation work has been performed.
No. The standard country-activation fee is not an annual recurring activation charge. An already activated country does not generate another standard €25 charge merely because a new calendar year or reporting period begins.
The current standard charge is €1 + applicable VAT for each declared parcel processed through the applicable country compliance ledger.
No. The standard fee is per declared parcel, not per SKU. Several products shipped together in one declared parcel create one standard parcel fee.
Three separately declared parcels enter the compliance ledger. The standard Beyoğlu Professional fee is therefore €3 + applicable VAT.
No. The €1 charge is a Beyoğlu Professional service fee. Regulatory EPR contributions are separate and are determined by the applicable authority, PRO, system or national legal mechanism.
No. The prices are displayed exclusive of VAT. “Applicable VAT” is used because the tax treatment depends on the actual transaction, contracting entity, customer status and customer location. The final invoice reflects the VAT treatment applicable to that supply.
Regulatory EPR money is presented separately from Beyoğlu Professional revenue. The underlying authority, PRO, system or legally required third-party amount is not disguised as part of the €1 parcel fee.
Because there is no single EU-wide packaging-EPR tariff. National costs can depend on material, weight, packaging type, units, minimum charges, chosen PRO/system and other country-specific rules. Where no single national tariff exists, Beyoğlu does not invent one.
Regulatory liabilities can accumulate before the authority or PRO payment deadline arrives. Where the operating route requires prefunding, sufficient regulatory funds need to be available before the liability becomes due. This prevents the customer's regulatory obligation from being financed from Beyoğlu working capital.
That is not the intended production architecture. Where customer regulatory funds must be prefunded, the structure is intended to use an appropriate licensed PSP, safeguarded client-money account or equivalent legally appropriate third-party arrangement. The actual provider and payment structure must be disclosed for the relevant live service before funds are collected through that route.
Not under the standard pricing model shown on this page. The parcel fee follows the declared parcel. Marketplace verification and marketplace transaction source do not automatically create another standard per-parcel charge.
No alternative standard parcel price is stated here for API-originated transactions. A declared parcel remains a declared parcel whether the underlying transaction data enters through an approved API, webhook, structured import or another supported operating route.
Not automatically. Where a bespoke connector or technical implementation is genuinely required, the technical scope must first be defined. Any separate development charge, if applicable, is agreed before that work begins. This page does not publish an invented standard connector fee.
The €25 activation remains completed, non-refundable work. No declared parcels means no €1 parcel fees for those non-existent parcels. However, the national authority, register, PRO or system may still impose fixed, minimum or registration-related costs.
Beyoğlu Professional is the public-facing service brand. The legal entity entering the applicable customer contract, regulatory mandate or country-specific representation relationship is identified explicitly in the relevant commercial and regulatory documentation.
Start with the Producer, sales routes and destination Member States. We determine which country files actually need to be opened before routine compliance operations begin.
