You can find all the details here:

Basically, if they want to sell _into_ SK, they have to sign up. If
they don't want to sign up, they need to run their own recycling program
that also accepts "historic and orphan" waste, and get their program
approved by the SK govt.

Supercom, Synnex, Dell, HP, IBM, Lenovo, Tiger Direct, and many more,
are already signed on. (Maybe Dell doesn't want to accept historic and
orphan waste.)

And, by my read, local vendors don't need to sign up, provided they pay
the fee to their suppliers, and either pass the fee along without
markup, or include it in their selling price. (I sure hope that's the
case... I don't need yet another stupid monthly govt remittance.)

Alberta has had the same program for a while now. When I had a system
drop-shipped in Calgary last year, I had to pay Supercom the fee.
