01 — Hamburg
Why the product passport hits Hamburg especially hard.
Hamburg is Germany’s gateway to world trade – and that is exactly where the Digital Product Passport takes hold: at the question of who brings products into the EU and who is liable for their data.
- Imports & the port economy: Anyone importing goods from third countries takes on importer obligations – and soon that includes ensuring every affected product is registered in the EU DPP registry before being placed on the market. Without a valid passport, goods risk being stopped at the border.
- Retail & e-commerce: Hamburg’s trading houses and online retailers carry full manufacturer responsibility for private labels – and must also check that listed third-party products come with a passport.
- Consumer goods & brands: From apparel and furniture to coffee machines: many product groups traded through Hamburg are on the ESPR working plan – delegated acts are expected step by step from late 2026.
- Wind power & energy storage: Northern Germany’s renewables cluster works with stationary storage and industrial batteries – for batteries above 2 kWh, the battery passport from 18 Feb 2027 is the first hard deadline.

03 — FAQ
Frequently asked questions from Hamburg.
Do you run workshops directly at our offices in Hamburg?
Yes. We are happy to run kick-offs, data audits and management briefings on site in Hamburg or the surrounding region; ongoing project work then continues efficiently remote.
We import consumer goods from Asia – what does the DPP mean for us in concrete terms?
As an importer you will have to ensure that every affected product has a valid product passport registered in the EU registry before it is placed on the market. The registry launches on 19 July 2026; sourcing data from suppliers should start well before your delegated act arrives.
We run battery-storage projects in the wind sector – does the battery passport affect us?
Very likely yes: industrial batteries above 2 kWh need a battery passport from 18 Feb 2027, covering carbon footprint, material data and performance metrics. Anyone manufacturing or importing storage systems is on the hook.
What does getting started cost?
