Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on EUDR
We’re here to deliver the information you need swiftly, along with strategic EUDR compliance services.
1. What is the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR)?
The EUDR is a new regulation that requires business operators in the EU to prove that their products containing specific commodities are deforestation-free. It will come into force on December 30, 2025.
2. Which commodities are affected by the EUDR?
The regulation covers commodities such as soy, beef, palm oil, wood, coffee, cocoa, and rubber. To meet EUDR traceability requirements, these must be traceable and deforestation-free.
3. What does the EUDR require from businesses?
Businesses must issue a due diligence statement establishing negligible deforestation risk in their supply chain from December 2020. They must also prove that the products were grown legally according to local land rights and other regulations.
4. How will the EUDR change business operations?
Complying with EUDR requires significant changes in business operations, including extensive data collection and supply chain transparency. For example, businesses need to provide geolocation data for every farm plot that contributes to shipments.
5. What are the potential impacts on coffee and cocoa pricing?
Since a high proportion of coffee and cocoa crosses EU borders, non-compliant shipments will need to find other markets, potentially trading at a significant discount. This could negatively impact the prices of these commodities.
6. What are the penalties for non-compliance with the EUDR?
If a business is found non-compliant, it will lose the entire affected parcel of goods and could be fined up to 4% of its annual turnover in Europe.
7. Is the UK implementing a similar regulation?
The UK is expected to implement its version, known as the Forest Risk Commodities regulations. While not identical, complying with EUDR will help operators adhere to the UK law.
8. What are the key deadlines for EUDR compliance?
The EUDR comes into force on December 30, 2025. Businesses need to collect all necessary data and have their due diligence and traceability systems in place by then.
9. Will enforcement authorities be ready by the deadline?
There is uncertainty about whether national competent authorities will be ready to enforce the regulation by December 30, 2025. It is possible that operators may be granted an additional year to comply.
10. What should businesses do to prepare for EUDR compliance?
Businesses should start collecting relevant data, conducting risk assessments, and implementing traceability systems immediately to ensure compliance with the EUDR.
