FAQs
1.Who is affected by EUDR?
The EUDR affects both operators and traders placing relevant products on the EU market or exporting them from the EU. This includes a wide range of businesses from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to large corporations, including supermarkets and retailers involved in the supply chain of commodities such as cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soy, and wood, and their derived products.
2.What are the penalties for EUDR?
Non-compliance with the EUDR can lead to severe penalties, including the inability to sell products in the EU market, fines up to 4% of EU turnover, product confiscation, exclusion from public procurement, and trading suspensions. Ensuring compliance is not just about avoiding penalties—it’s about protecting your business’s reputation and market access.
3.What commodities are covered by the EUDR?
The EUDR covers seven primary commodities and their derived products:
Cattle, Cocoa, Coffee, Oil palm, Rubber, Soy, Wood.
Additionally, it includes various derived products such as meat products, leather, chocolate, palm oil derivatives, soybean flour and oil, wood products, pulp and paper, and printed books. Check our Whitepaper for more information.
4.What products derived from EUDR-listed commodities are out of scope?
Products derived from EUDR-listed commodities but considered out of scope include for example leather bags made from cattle, coffee cakes from ground coffee, to-go coffee from coffee pods, and soap made with palm oil from palm oil itself. These products are exempt due to their extensive processing which disconnects them from the primary commodity’s original deforestation risk. To determine if a product falls within EUDR scope, companies must compare its HS code against those listed in Annex 1 and the Combined Nomenclature, ensuring compliance with the regulation’s criteria.
5.What is the difference between trader and operator EUDR?
Operator: Refers to any entity that places relevant products on the EU market or exports them from the EU. This includes manufacturers, producers, and entities that physically handle the goods.
Trader: Refers to any entity that trades relevant products already placed on the EU market. Traders do not include operators but may include importers, exporters, wholesalers, or retailers involved in the sale or distribution of goods already in the EU market.
