If you import goods into India, your EPR Registration will be suspended if Annual Returns are not filed. Do not let your shipments get stuck at the port.
Don't wait. CPCB portals crash frequently as the deadline nears.
*Official CPCB portal fees are extra based on your import volume slab.
The Government of India places strict Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) on the entity introducing the waste into the country. If you clear goods through customs, the compliance burden is on you.
If you import *any* product that arrives in plastic packaging (electronics, cosmetics, raw materials, consumer goods), you must file Plastic EPR Annual Returns based on the weight of the packaging imported.
If you import IT equipment, consumer electronics, or components listed under E-Waste rules, you must file E-Waste Annual Returns detailing your sales and fulfilling your recycling targets.
Filing requires exact quantification of materials imported (often cross-checked against Customs data), securing valid EPR Certificates from registered recyclers to meet your assigned targets, and submitting audited data to the CPCB portal. Discrepancies lead to show-cause notices.
The CPCB and Customs have linked their systems. Missing the deadline has immediate operational impacts.
This is the biggest risk. ICEGATE validation will fail for your shipments, leading to your containers being halted at the port and incurring heavy demurrage charges.
Heavy financial penalties levied proportionally on the volume of unfulfilled EPR targets. This is a non-negotiable tax that compounds the longer you delay.
Your EPR registration will be suspended. Operating or clearing imports without a valid active EPR is illegal and invites further legal action.
Below are the standard CPCB official fees based on your import volume (Tonnes Per Annum).
Note: These are Government charges payable directly to CPCB, strictly separate from our ₹3500 professional filing fee.
| Volume Imported (TPA) | Official Fee (₹) |
|---|---|
| Less than 100 TPA | 5,000 |
| 100 to 1,000 TPA | 10,000 |
| 1,000 to 10,000 TPA | 20,000 |
| More than 10,000 TPA | 50,000 |
| E-Waste Imported (TPA) | Official Fee (₹) |
|---|---|
| Less than 100 TPA | 10,000 |
| 100 to 1,000 TPA | 20,000 |
| 1,000 to 10,000 TPA | 50,000 |
| More than 10,000 TPA | 1,00,000+ |
