Path to European EPR Compliance
As Spacetalk expanded into new European markets, the company faced increasing regulatory complexity. Each target country introduced its own compliance obligations — from Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for electronics and packaging, to VAT registration for sales and services.
Particularly challenging were local requirements such as obtaining a Spanish VAT number before EPR registration in Spain, and managing the legal formalities involved — notarizations, apostilles, and sworn translations.
With multiple jurisdictions, distinct timelines, and document procedures to coordinate, Spacetalk sought a partner that could manage cross-border registration from end to end — minimizing administrative burden while ensuring full compliance.

- Support with national identifiers (e.g., Spanish VAT number acquisition).
