A verifiable mandate,
without inventing retroactive effects.
O produtor não residente usa o seu número fiscal do país de origem; o site não cria um NIF português. Um eventual representante deve estar estabelecido em Portugal e ser identificado numa proposta separada.

✓ Free ✓ Human review ✓ No commitment
The deadline depends on the integrity of the document and independent review of the register and scheme
The result
An EN/EN mandate consistent with the framework
- Parts, powers and foreign tax number verified
- Sectors, categories, materials and flows aligned
- Submission, validation and effect date preserved as distinct events
A entidade jurídica e o âmbito de qualquer representação são confirmados por escrito fora do site
Article 20 and Annex VII — written mandate, by flow and without retroactivity
The mandate must be presented before taking effect. The operational rule calculates the effect date as the latest time between the validation of APA and 15 days after submission; it never anticipates or rewrites the process history.
Primary sources · Revised 23 July 2026
Three separations that protect the process
Client and representative are confused
The client retains his/her foreign identity; the representative uses his/her own Portuguese identity for the mandate and management of the process.
Signature does not match the powers
The trade statement and any simple proxy shall demonstrate who may bind the producer.
Date is anticipated
Signature, submission, validation and legal effect are different facts and are recorded separately.
Everything taken care of.
- Verification of the need for entity and flow representation
- Bilingual mandate EN/EN based on model Annex VII
- Product and flow grid equal to the prepared framework
- Commercial extract and optional proxy organized in a digital package
- Requisitos de assinatura identificados para tratamento fora do site
- Auditable registration of submission, validation and effect date
Four controlled steps.
Confirm the applicable rule
Establishment, channel, product and flow determine the analysis; European proposals not yet adopted are not treated as law.
Checking parts and powers
The statement and data of the signatory shall be compared with the mandate and the entity to be framed.
Confirmar a formalização
A forma de assinatura e os poderes devem ser confirmados no processo conduzido fora do site.
Submit and wait for effect
Após contratação separada, a equipa documenta a submissão e a validação; nenhum ato dependente deve ser antecipado à data de efeito.
FAQ
Does the client need a Portuguese NIF?
Not for this route. The foreign producer is framed with his country of origin tax number through the authorised representative.
What documents are normally prepared?
Mandate, trade record statement and, if someone else signs, simple proxy. Documents in Portuguese or English are accepted; other languages follow with uncertified translation and the original.
Can the mandate cover previous periods?
The APA designation is not retroactive, so prior periods must be identified honestly.
Como é identificada a entidade que atuará como representante?
A equipa EPR Europe confirma por escrito a entidade jurídica, os poderes e o âmbito numa proposta separada. O formulário deste site não nomeia representante nem forma contrato.
