How registration works in Spain
Tyres EPR in Spain has the sharpest compliance gate of any Spanish stream: RD 712/2025 requires your RPP registration number to appear on every invoice (Arts 7.3 and 24.4). A buyer or auditor can see whether you are compliant from the paperwork itself.
You register in the RPP tyres section at MITECO. The decree replaced RD 1619/2005, took effect from 27 August 2025 and gave producers an adaptation period running to 28 August 2026. That invoice-number deadline is the near-term date that bites.
Who the tyres rules cover in Spain
The duty follows the replacement tyre placed on the Spanish market:
- Tyre manufacturers who place replacement tyres on the market in Spain
- Importers who bring replacement tyres into Spain
- Distance sellers shipping tyres to Spanish buyers
- A foreign producer who appoints no representante autorizado pushes the duty to the first Spanish distributor
No small-producer de minimis has been grounded. Register and join an EPR system before placing replacement tyres on the market.
Reporting tyres volumes in Spain
The broader EPR in Spain system includes tyres alongside packaging, batteries, WEEE and other streams. Tyre producers submit the Annex I.2 data annually to MITECO on replacement tyres placed on the market each calendar year.
The exact filing date has not been pinned on an official source, but the cadence is annual.
A non-established producer registers through a representante autorizado in Spain. If none is appointed, the first Spanish distributor becomes subsidiarily responsible.
What tyres EPR costs in Spain
The cost sits in three layers:
| Layer | What it covers |
|---|---|
| RPP registration | Administrative, no state fee |
| EPR system contribution | Per tyre type and weight, paid to the individual or collective system you join |
| Invoice visibility | RPP number must appear on the invoice (RD 712/2025 Arts 7.3/24.4) |
Spain publishes no official per-unit rate. What you pay depends on the system you join and the tyre categories you place.
How Spain polices tyres EPR
Enforcement runs through the Ley 7/2022 sanctions regime (Título IX, Arts 108-109), grading infractions as leve, grave or muy grave. The invoice rule adds a practical enforcement layer: a missing RPP number is visible to anyone reading the paperwork.
