When do I have to report the number of copies in my reprography declaration?

You only have to indicate the number of copies (i.e. circulation) for books in the following categories: 

  • Educational and scientific texts (EDSC)
  • Literary texts (LIT)
  • Other texts (AUT)

If you do not state the number of copies in your declaration, we will use the following number of copies per title for Dutch and French-language publications:

  • 5,000 copies for the EDSC category;
  • 1,500 copies for the other two categories.

Lower circulations will automatically be upgraded to reach these levels.
 
If your books are not published in Dutch or French, we will apply the following maximum number of copies:

  • 5,000 copies for English publications in the category EDSC;
  • 1,250 copies for publications in other languages in the category EDWE; 
  • 400 copies for the other categories.

For other texts, except for books, we will only take into account a fixed number of copies for the categories EDSC, LIT and AUT. 

  • 500 copies for Dutch, French or English publications in the category EDSC; 
  • 125 copies for publications in other languages in the category EDSC; 
  • 125 copies for the other categories.
