FAQ

If we use a delivery company to mail our products or correspondence, who is required to report on the shipping packaging supplied to the consumer?

Each producer of Packaging, Paper Products and Packaging-Like Products (PPP) is required to report the PPP packaging they add to a product.

For example: a college or university bookstore plans to ship a book to a consumer in Nova Scotia. The bookstore staff packages the book in a small box with the packing slip and inserts the box into a plastic mailer supplied by the delivery service with the required label affixed. In this scenario, the college or university is the obligated producer of the small box and packing slip and must report these materials in their supply report, whereas the delivery company is the obligated producer of the plastic mailer and label and must report these materials in their supply report.
