EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR): Affected Product Categories

The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), which entered into force at the end of June 2023, aims to minimize the risk of products entering the EU market that are linked to deforestation, forest degradation, and the illegal displacement of local populations. The regulation is designed to promote demand and trade in legal, deforestation-free commodities and products.

‍

Manufacturers, importers, and distributors placing affected commodities — such as timber, cattle (beef/leather), rubber, soy, coffee, cocoa, and palm oil, as well as products derived from them — on the EU market for the first time must ensure that these originate from deforestation-free areas and that applicable local laws have been complied with. This requires documentation of the process and the submission of a due diligence statement to the authorities. Companies that source these commodities but are not the first actor to import them into the EU must also ensure information sharing and verification with their upstream suppliers.
