The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is set to replace the existing EU Timber Regulation
The EUDR aims to ensure that products entering the EU market are free from deforestation and forest degradation. This applies to seven key commodities: cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soy, and wood, as well as derived products.
Key Requirements
Companies must collect geolocation data of production plots, conduct risk assessments, and submit due diligence statements before placing products on the EU market. The regulation applies to both importers and exporters.
Timeline
Large companies must comply by 30 December 2025. Small and micro enterprises have until 30 June 2026.
