California?<\/h4><p>Potentially. Companies located outside California may have producer responsibilities if they supply covered products or packaging into the state. The applicable producer definition determines responsibility.<\/p><hr \/><h4>Are businesses with less than $1 million in annual sales exempt?<\/h4><p>Eligible small producers with gross annual sales below $1 million may apply for exemptions from certain reporting and fee requirements. Exemptions are not automatic, and other obligations may continue to apply.<\/p><hr \/><h4>How are California EPR producer fees calculated?<\/h4><p>Producer fees are based on reported supply data, applicable material categories and CAA&#8217;s fee-setting methodology, including program-specific adjustments. The 2027 fee schedules are available to support financial planning.<\/p><hr \/><h4>Can Evnia by UL Solutions manage our California EPR reporting?<\/h4><p>Yes!
