How WEEE Africa Forum can help you
Our range of services
We would be glad to support you with:

Contract coordination
We will able to prepare all the necessary contracts and register you with the relevant systems and national registers. We will also provide access to authorise representatives for all countries in which registration and appointment of the representative is required.

Depending on the legal situation in the Country in question, we will deal with your market declaration and support you with product classification in up to 120 different national categories. Your product portfolio will need to be classified in each Country separately.
