Are you in scope of EUDR — and at what depth?

The general application date is 30 December 2026. Article 38(3) allows 30 June 2027 only for qualifying micro or small operators established as such by 31 December 2024, excluding products in the EUTR annex. Products newly added by Regulation (EU) 2026/2102 have their specified 30 December 2027 date. Confirm your statutory category and the requested production and establishment facts to calculate your personal date and declaration route.

EUDR uses at least two of three EU limits: micro, EUR 450,000 balance / EUR 900,000 net turnover / 10 employees; small, EUR 5m / EUR 10m / 50; medium, EUR 25m / EUR 50m / 250. Limits are inclusive. Apply the Article 3 two-consecutive-year rule. EUDR refers to the first small-company paragraph, not higher optional national limits. Verify the category from accounts; group headcount and turnover alone are insufficient. The later date also requires establishment as such by 31 December 2024 and excludes EUTR-annex products. Article 4a primary-operator status is a separate rule.

The seven commodities remain cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soya and wood. Annex I as amended by Regulation (EU) 2026/2102 includes species, material and use exclusions, removes bovine hides/leather and sowing soya, and gives specific newly added products a later date. The verified CN sample is not the full annex; unsupported codes remain unconfirmed.

The complete 2025/1093 list contains 140 low-risk countries and four high-risk countries: Belarus, North Korea, Myanmar and Russia. Only countries absent from the official annex retain standard risk. Low risk does not itself remove traceability or applicable due-diligence obligations.

31 December 2020. To be EUDR-compliant, the relevant commodity must not have been produced on land subject to deforestation or forest degradation after that date. The cut-off was not changed by either postponement.

For legal persons, Article 25 requires a statutory maximum fine of at least 4% of the previous financial year’s total EU turnover; it does not cap every fine at 4%. Confiscation and other sanctions may also apply. Applicable operator/trader records must be retained for at least five years under Articles 4 and 5.

Article 4a applies to qualifying primary operators established in a low-risk production country. A one-off simplified declaration replaces the DDS; the State-database route requires all Annex III data and an assigned identifier. Other operators submit a DDS. Traders retain Article 5 information, and non-SMEs also register.
