Registration diary

We're going through the packaging registration ourselves and writing down what happens, in the order it happens. No polished success story.

Log

  1. We started the LUCID registration ourselves

    We began registering our own shop in LUCID, Germany's packaging register. Our company, NooraNoir OÜ, is based in Estonia, so the form asked us to select an authorised representative in Germany, and we couldn't complete the registration without one. Since 12 August 2026 that's the rule for every seller abroad who ships directly to customers in Germany. Finding a representative is our next step, and we'll write it up here.

Proof, not promises
