The paperwork the states now demand, quietly handled.
Seven states have passed packaging laws that make brands report every box, bag, and label they ship — by material and weight, every year. Three are collecting reports now; we do the whole filing for pet brands, so it stops being your problem.
Three steps. You touch two of them for about ten minutes.
You forward
Your packaging suppliers' spec sheets and a sales export by state. We chase suppliers for anything missing.
→We build, you approve
Component data mapped to each state's categories. You get a one-page summary and sign off — nothing files without your written OK.
→Filed & kept current
Submitted through your producer account, deadlines tracked, refreshed every year and every time a new state comes online.
The window is open now, and it won't stay that way.
Flat fee. No hourly meter. State fees pass straight through to you.
Setup scales with your SKU count and covers your first full reporting cycle across every state you're obligated in. The annual fee covers the data refresh, the filings, deadline tracking, and adding new states as they launch.
The first two pet brands get half off setup, locked for the life of the engagement, in exchange for a reference once you're happy. After that, list price.
Questions, answered straight.
Are we even covered?
Oregon exempts brands under $5M in revenue, Colorado under $500K, California under $1M of in-state sales — and tonnage triggers apply too. That's exactly what the free check tells you. Worst case, you learn you're exempt, and why.
Who's responsible for the numbers?
You are — legally, the producer always is. That's why you approve every figure before it's filed, and why we show our work. We're a specialist practice, not a law firm; genuine edge-case questions go to your counsel, and we'll tell you exactly what to ask.
Is this an official notice?
No — deliberately not. Novus Ordo is a private service, not affiliated with any state agency or the Circular Action Alliance. Everything we tell you is verifiable against the public registries, and we send the links first.
Find out where your brand stands.
Four quick questions. You'll see which states you're obligated in, a fee estimate, and your deadlines — free, whether or not you ever work with us.
This is an estimate based on what you entered and public program rules, not a determination. It uses total revenue as a proxy — some states measure in-state sales instead — so your exact obligation depends on your real packaging data and sales, which is what a filing pins down. Not legal or tax advice.
