Which commodities are covered by the EUDR?

Seven: cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soya and wood. The rules also catch a long list of derived products such as leather, chocolate, furniture, paper, tyres and palm-oil derivatives, so a product can be in scope even if the raw commodity is not obvious from the finished item.

What is the core obligation?

Operators and large traders must submit a due-diligence statement confirming the goods are deforestation-free (no deforestation after 31 December 2020), legally produced, and traceable to the plot of land via geolocation coordinates. Goods cannot be placed on or exported from the EU market without it.

When does the EUDR apply?

Application was set for large and medium operators and traders from 30 December 2025, with micro and small enterprises following from 30 June 2026. Always confirm the current dates, as the Commission has adjusted the timeline; the tool shows the dates by business size.

What does geolocation mean in practice?

You must record the geographic coordinates of every plot of land where the commodity was produced, and the date or time range of production. For plots over four hectares this means polygons, not just a single point, so traceability data must come from your suppliers and be retained for five years.

Is anything I enter uploaded?

No. The commodity, role and size you choose are evaluated in your browser to produce the obligations summary. Nothing about your supply chain is sent to a server, logged or stored anywhere.

EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) Checker

An EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) Checker that tells you, in plain terms, whether your goods fall under Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 and what you must do about it. The EUDR bans placing seven commodities and their many derived products on the EU market unless they are deforestation-free, legally produced and traceable. This tool is for trade, procurement and supply-chain compliance teams who need to scope obligations quickly across operator and trader roles.

How it works

The regulation covers seven relevant commodities — cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soya and wood — plus a wide annex of derived products (leather, chocolate, furniture, paper, tyres, palm-oil derivatives and more). Your duties then depend on two factors:

role  = operator (first to place / export)  OR  trader (further down the chain)
size  = large / medium  OR  micro / SME

Operators and large traders carry the full due-diligence burden: collect supplier information and geolocation coordinates for every plot of land, run a risk assessment against the Commission’s country benchmarking (low / standard / high risk), apply risk mitigation where needed, and submit a due-diligence statement before the goods move. Micro and small traders have lighter record-keeping duties but must still keep the upstream statement references.

Key dates and tips

Application dates phase in by size — larger businesses first, then micro and small enterprises roughly six months later. Because the cut-off for “deforestation-free” is 31 December 2020, you need production-date evidence as well as location. For plots over four hectares, geolocation means polygons, not single points, and all due-diligence records must be retained for five years. Start collecting plot-level data from suppliers early — it is the hardest part to retrofit.
