Eco-Participation Fees: Eco-participation fees (also called DEEE or éco-contribution) are required in France on electronics and electrical goods to fund recycling programs. Amounts vary by product category—for example, around €0.02 for cables versus €13 or more for large appliances. Merchants selling electronics in France must collect and remit these fees correctly.
