What it costs before the first kilogram
This scheme is the one the rule library names for this country:
Registering with the authority costs PLN 200 a year — that is the official fee for the register itself, and it is separate from anything a scheme charges. For Statutory product fee (opłata produktowa) — the source this site holds Poland rates from — we found no published minimum annual or membership fee at a page we could read logged out on 2026-09-04. Not obtained means we did not find one, not that there is none. A third fixed cost is an authorised representative, where one is required. For Poland this library records: Indication only — confirm in writing; the representative question above has the detail. The price of a representative is commercial, quoted per provider, and no official source publishes it, so this library holds no figure for it. None of the above is the per-kilogram fee: that one is on the rate page and in the calculator.
