The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR, Regulation (EU) 2023/1115) only allows relevant commodities and products to be placed on the EU market or exported if they are deforestation-free, produced in line with the relevant legislation of the country of production, and covered by a due diligence statement (DDS). The DDS is submitted in the EU Information System before the product is placed on the market and includes the geolocation of the plots of land where the commodity was produced. Since the 2025 amendment (Regulation (EU) 2025/2650), the operator that first places the product on the EU market submits the DDS; downstream operators and traders no longer submit their own.
What we do
- Scope check: is your product listed in Annex I, and are you the operator who must submit?
- Act as authorised representative to submit the DDS on your behalf under a written mandate; the legal responsibility stays with the operator
- Information System account set-up
- Check the supplier data and plot geolocation the DDS needs
- Prepare and submit the DDS and give you the reference number
- Compliance declaration template for your customers
Who needs it
Companies that place cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soya or wood, or products made from them that are listed in Annex I, on the EU market for the first time or export them, for example EU importers of furniture, paper products, leather, tyres, coffee or chocolate. Suppliers outside the EU are usually asked by their EU buyers for EUDR-ready data. According to the European Commission, the main obligations apply from 30 December 2026 for large and medium operators and from 30 June 2027 for micro and small operators (30 December 2026 for those already covered by the EU Timber Regulation).
