Launch your brand in the UK and the EU. We handle the compliance.
Lantara helps ecommerce brands become compliant for the UK and EU markets, and stay compliant as they grow. Product compliance, Responsible Person, VAT and packaging EPR, all handled by one partner.
UK and EU compliance risks for international sellers
Selling into the UK or the EU means VAT registration, product safety rules, Responsible Person requirements and packaging EPR obligations, and the two regimes are not the same. Get any of them wrong and you're looking at marketplace delistings, customs holds, tax penalties, and a stalled launch. Most brands find out the hard way.
Marketplaces such as Amazon increasingly ask for compliance details, a UK or EU-based contact and safety information, before or after a listing goes live.
Since Brexit these are two separate regimes. UKCA alongside CE marking, a UK Responsible Person alongside an EU-established economic operator, UK pEPR alongside national EU packaging registrations. Two sets of obligations, not one.
Navigating filings and paperwork instead of building the business.
Who Lantara is built for
You need someone who understands the full regulatory landscape in both markets, instead of hiring a VAT specialist, a product compliance consultant, and an EPR agent from three separate firms.
Your team is spending hours on filings, documentation, and chasing updates across several countries. You want it off their plate so they can focus on growth.
Something's gone wrong and you need it fixed fast, then kept right so it doesn't happen again.
Four compliance services, UK and EU, delivered and managed
We take ownership of the regulatory frameworks you need to trade in the UK and across the European Union, implementing them, managing them, and keeping them right as you grow.
We make sure your products meet UK and EU regulations before sale, and stay compliant as rules evolve. UKCA and CE marking, product safety, labelling, and technical documentation.
Product compliance in detailWe act as your UK Responsible Person where UK law requires one, cosmetics and medical devices, and as the UK-based contact marketplaces ask for on goods such as electricals and toys. In the EU we take on the equivalent obligation.
Responsible Person in detailWe register you with HMRC and handle ongoing Making Tax Digital filings in the UK, plus the EU registrations that match where you hold stock and where you sell. Your tax position stays current as you scale.
VAT in detailWe structure and manage your packaging obligations, UK pEPR registration, scheme membership and reporting, and registration in every EU member state where your packaging is first made available.
Packaging EPR in detailHow it works
We review your products, packaging, and current business setup. You get a clear map of your UK and EU obligations across product compliance, VAT, Responsible Person and packaging EPR, and what needs fixing first.
We put the infrastructure in place, VAT registrations, Responsible Person appointments, EPR registrations and compliance documentation, in every market you sell in. We set it up, then we stay.
We keep everything running. Filings, renewals, regulatory updates and documentation are managed on an ongoing basis, in every market, so your business stays compliant as it scales.
Why brands choose Lantara
We're built differently from compliance consultants. We don't send you a report and walk away. We set it up, then we stay, implementing the infrastructure, holding ownership of it, and maintaining it as your business grows.
Focused entirely on UK and EU market-entry compliance. All requirements managed in one place.
We understand Amazon, Shopify, TikTok Shop, and direct-to-consumer compliance requirements, because that's where these brands trade.
Subscription-led so you know your costs as you scale, in every market you add.
We take responsibility for implementation and ongoing management, from first filing through every renewal.
