Austria

Market price

ARA's tariff is the market benchmark, not a statutory rate — other licensed systems in Austria can and do quote differently.

This country sets no national packaging tariff. The figures below are one licensed organisation's own published price list, shown as a market reference — not a national rate. Another licensed organisation may price identical packaging differently.
