Full transcript

Narration text, as in the subtitles.

0:02 Before adding a product, let's say who we supply. You add a recipient by tax number — again, the details come from the register. Save the recipient's email — that's where the finished declaration will go. On to step two — the product and its packaging. You name it, and the app suggests an ID number — from your item index or your own numbering.

0:31 The key decision in this step is the packaging material. The material decides which articles apply — cardboard, plastic and glass each have different requirements. Material not on the list? Add your own under Other — mono-material or composite — and use it for all your products. We choose paper and cardboard, and the app instantly

0:56 lists the mandatory requirements. The assessment date matters, as some requirements start in later years — the system applies the thresholds valid on that day. Optional fields don't block the declaration. You or Bielik can fill them in later. We assign the recipient and save the product. It appears in the portfolio as the first card.
