This may be a Swedish manufacturer, a company importing from a third country, a company bringing gear in from another EU country or a foreign seller selling directly to Swedish end users. However, a Swedish sportfishing shop that \u003cstrong\u003eonly buys an item from a Swedish wholesaler\u003c\/strong\u003e should not automatically treat its resale as a second first market placement.

Even a small amount of plastic may mean the entire piece of gear is included. Relevant structural plastic content and the product’s primary intended use must be assessed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExamples of products that are not automatically covered include \u003cstrong\u003elife jackets, waders, boats and mooring lines\u003c\/strong\u003e, whose primary purpose is something else. Fishing gear with non-easily removable electrical equipment may instead be covered by producer responsibility for electrical equipment. Paint, ink and adhesive are not covered solely because they contain polymers when they are not a major structural component.

If a metal spinner weighs 12 grams and contains a relevant plastic component, its \u003cstrong\u003eentire 12 grams\u003c\/strong\u003e must be assessed for reporting; registering only the mass of the plastic component would be incorrect.
