- Tonnage.
- Exemption classes.

Each jurisdiction returns one of: owe, exempt, flat-fee tier or needs counsel. Each result shows the rule and its citation.
Public and in-app
The public checker at /epr/start needs no account and can prefill your workspace. In the app the same engine uses your real entities and volumes.
An estimate, not an opinion
A result is an estimate from the published rule. Where an exemption has to be applied for, such as California's, the result is an action for you to take.
Instica measures, estimates and prepares. You review, sign and submit. Nothing here replaces advice from your counsel.
