Operators must comply from 30 December 2026.

Downstream operators and traders of any size must comply from 30 December 2026.
The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) , formally Regulation (EU) 2023/1115, entered into force on June 29, 2023, to combat global deforestation. It prohibits placing or making available certain products on the EU market, or exporting them, unless they are deforestation-free, have been produced in accordance with the relevant legislation of the country of production and are covered by a due diligence statement.
Non-compliance could result in fines with a maximum of at least 4% of a company’s total annual Union-wide turnover, as well as serious reputational risks. That’s why having the right tools in place is not optional, it’s essential.
Need software for EUDR due diligence? EUDR Passport is free to set up, free for your suppliers, and costs €90 per product profile per year with unlimited DDS.
What does the EUDR require?
Operators that place covered products on the EU market or export them must (downstream operators and traders have lighter duties and do not submit due diligence statements):
- Prove that their products are deforestation-free at origin.
- Conduct full supply chain due diligence on suppliers and sourcing regions.
- Geolocate plots of land where raw materials were produced.
- Identify, assess, and mitigate supply chain risks to a negligible level.
- Submit an official Due Diligence Statement (DDS) and obtain a reference number from the EU system.
