Estimate ordinary-procedure CAC without hiding it inside a service fee.
Enter annual packaging quantities and choose the closest plastic fascia helper. The calculator applies the €200 annual threshold separately to each material and keeps CONAI contributions outside our private fees.
What do you place on the Italian market?
Packaging can be estimated below. WEEE and battery obligations require a separate product classification and manual quote.

Optional environmental labelling review
The result is non-binding. Final producer allocation, declaration procedure, material fascia and taxable treatment require review. WEEE and battery contributions are never estimated from a foreign-market proxy.
CONAI card · 2026 reviewed referenceWhat the calculator does — and does not do
Ordinary procedure
CAC is calculated from annual grams and the selected 2026 rate. If a material is at or below €200, its estimated payable amount becomes €0; the threshold is not aggregated across materials.
Alternative procedures
A-valore, per-tara and turnover forfait routes have separate eligibility, thresholds and filing rules. They are shown as alternatives for human review and are never selected automatically here.
Separate cost owners
Standard is an indicative €474/year plus €150 initial setup. The client remains the CONAI member and CAC debtor; CONAI invoices the client directly. VAT, the €5.16 adhesion quota and other third-party costs stay separate.
Calculator questions
+Why can a material show €0?
Under the ordinary procedure, annual CAC of €200 or less is generally exempt from declaration and payment for that material, subject to an annual self-check. At 10 tonnes or more, a statistical declaration can still be required.
+Why are there two plastic dates?
The reviewed 2026 plastic rates change at 00:00 on 1 October in Europe/Rome. The server selects the applicable column and records its effective date in the estimate payload.
+Does the result grant Amazon Starter?
No. Starter is an indicative €399 first-year / €299 renewal reference for a narrow Amazon-only profile. Channel, weight and history need a human review.
+What remains quote-only?
WEEE, batteries and the final environmental-labelling audit scope need manual classification. Selecting them marks the estimate as open rather than inventing an external tariff.
