New stores selling products to the German market on the Temu platform **need to register for German EPR**.

EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) is an environmental regulation that requires producers to be responsible for the environmental impact of products throughout their life cycle, especially at the end-of-life stage of the product. In Germany, EPR involves multiple areas, including packaging law, electronic and electrical equipment, batteries, etc. For cross-border e-commerce sellers selling to the German market, it is very important to comply with EPR regulations.

Here is some specific information about EPR:

1. **Registration requirements**: The Temu platform requires sellers to complete German Packaging Law, French Packaging Law, and French Textile Law EPR compliance. This means that if the store's products will be sold to these countries, the corresponding EPR registration is required.

2. **Declaration and renewal**: Sellers need to declare and renew EPR regularly to ensure continued compliance. For example, the declaration and renewal of the German EPR Packaging Law must be completed, otherwise the product may be removed from the shelves.

3. **Registration entity**: EPR registration is carried out according to the company entity, not the store. If multiple stores are registered with the same business license, then these stores can share the same EPR registration.

4. **Individual store**: Currently, only individual stores that meet the German Packaging Act can register for EPR, and other EPR projects require a business license.

In short, in order to ensure the long-term operation of the store and avoid potential legal risks, it is recommended that new stores must comply with relevant EPR regulations when selling products on the Temu platform, and complete registration and declaration work in a timely manner. This can ensure that the store's products can be sold smoothly and maintain the brand's reputation and consumer trust.
