What is EUDR?
The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is a new law aimed at preventing deforestation and forest degradation linked to products sold in or exported from the EU. Starting December 30, 2025, companies must prove their goods are deforestation-free and legally sourced. This regulation helps protect global forests, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and safeguard biodiversity by ensuring responsible trade and sustainable supply chains.

Commodities Targeted by EUDR Compliance
The EUDR focuses on seven key commodities that the EU identifies as high-risk due to their consumption levels and impact on deforestation.
Who is Affected by EUDR
Compliance Requirements?
EUDR affects Operators and Traders dealing with relevant commodities. They must prove products are deforestation-free and not linked to forest degradation, ensuring compliance with legal requirements.
Operators (Import/Export)
If you place relevant commodities or products on the EU market or export them from the EU, you are considered an Operator. You must establish a due diligence system as outlined in the regulation, ensuring that your products are deforestation-free and comply with applicable laws. This involves implementing procedures and measures to verify sourcing compliance.
Operators must:
Domestic Operators
Domestic operators are those placing relevant products on the EU market that have already been:
For specific commodities:
While domestic operators do not manage supply chains, they must still conduct due diligence on their own operations to ensure products are deforestation-free and comply with national laws.
Downstream Operators
Downstream operators are EU-based manufacturers placing new products on the EU market for the first time.
Micro, small, and medium-sized (SME) downstream operators have simpler requirements. They are not required to conduct due diligence on products that have already undergone due diligence and have a submitted statement. However, they must obtain and provide previous due diligence statement reference numbers upon request.
Non-SME downstream operators have stricter obligations. They must first verify that proper due diligence was conducted on previously assessed products. If confirmed, they may reference existing due diligence statements in their own submissions.
Traders
Traders under EUDR are businesses that buy and sell relevant products already placed on the EU market.
Micro, small, and medium-sized enterprise (SME) traders have minimal requirements. They must collect, store, and provide supply chain information upon request.
Non-SME traders must conduct full due diligence, ensuring products are deforestation-free and legally sourced before selling them.
SMEs focus on record-keeping, while larger traders must actively verify compliance, making them more accountable under EUDR rules.
