Check

Based on the generally binding regulation ‘agreement on the waste management levy for the recycling of mattresses’, every producer and/or importer is liable to pay a waste management levy on the number of mattresses first introduced to the Dutch consumer market. The regulation was published in the Government Gazette of 17 December 2021 under number 49806.

Annual statement
Stichting MRN is obliged to provide an annual statement of the number of mattresses declared and the waste management levy due on them. You will receive this annual statement by e-mail.

Sample
Random checks are carried out on the basis of Article 5(11) of the regulations. This is to check the accuracy of the data provided by producers and/or importers. If you are selected in the sample, you will receive notification of this.
In that case, it is compulsory to provide confirmation of the numbers for the year 2022 by 1 April 2023 in the form of an audit statement from your own accountant. The audit protocol can be found here.

The auditor’s report should be emailed to administratie@mrn.nl.

Importer with power of attorney to foreign party
Importers who have registered in the MRN portal and have indicated that their foreign producer will make the declaration will receive an e-mail stating which foreign party will make the declaration.

After this, the importer must confirm that the information received is correct. If the importer has several foreign producers filing declarations, he should also mention this.

The response should be emailed to administratie@mrn.nl.
