EUDR for non-EU exporters
The EU Deforestation Regulation, Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 as amended by Regulation (EU) 2025/2650, bars products linked to deforestation after 2020 from the EU market. It does not apply yet, but buyers are already asking suppliers for the data.
When does the EUDR apply?
From 30 December 2026 for large and medium operators and traders, and from 30 June 2027 for micro and small operators.
The Commission's simplification review of 4 May 2026 proposed no further changes to the legal text.
Which products are covered?
Cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soya and wood, and the derived products listed in Annex I, which include paper and paperboard goods. A 2026 delegated regulation adjusted the list: it removed hides, skins and leather and some rubber goods, and added soluble coffee and some palm derivatives. Printed products were removed in 2025. Packaging used only to support, protect or carry another product is outside scope.
Who carries the obligation?
The operator who first places the product on the EU market submits a due diligence statement. Micro and small primary operators submit a simpler declaration. Downstream operators and traders keep supplier details and statement reference numbers for five years.
What a non-EU supplier gives the EU buyer
- The geolocation of every plot of land where the commodity was produced.
- Country of production, date or range of harvest, quantity and HS code.
- Evidence that the commodity is deforestation-free after the 31 December 2020 cut-off, and was produced legally in the country of production.
- Supply-chain information so the EU operator can complete its risk assessment.
Is Truo ready for EUDR?
EUDR support is planned ahead of the 30 December 2026 application date: plot geolocation and due-diligence references kept on the trade record against each order line, so they travel with the shipment.
