I use Amazon Pay on Behalf. Do I still need a CONAI number?

Yes. Amazon's notice says you must submit a registration number even if you use Pay on Behalf.

Quick answer

Yes. Amazon's notice, quoted by its moderator on 4 August 2026: “anche se utilizzi il servizio EPR Paga per Conto Mio, devi inviare un numero di registrazione EPR (ERN)” (“even if you use the EPR Pay on Behalf service, you must submit an EPR registration number (ERN)”). Pay on Behalf pays the contribution for the Amazon units it covers, for €25 per EPR category per year since 1 January 2026. It does not give you a CONAI number and does not cover your own shop or other marketplaces. You can keep it for Amazon units and declare only the rest to CONAI, so nothing is paid twice.

Selling into Italy without an Italian company?

Amazon.it asks for your CONAI number, and CONAI asks a foreign company for an Italian address. We are both, for €199 a year.
