The LUCID Number: What is it and When Do You Need it?

  • The LUCID number is a registration number issued by the Central Agency Packaging Register (ZSVR) in Germany.
  • It is required for companies selling packaged goods in Germany and is a key component of the German Packaging Act (VerpackG).
  • All types of packaging, including retail, shipment, transport, and service packaging, require registration.
  • Registration is mandatory for producers, distributors, online retailers, and importers placing packaged goods on the German market.
  • Failure to register can result in fines and a distribution ban on products in Germany. Ongoing compliance includes updating information and participating in the dual system for packaging subject to system participation.
