Is your product caught by the EU deforestation rules?
Coffee, cocoa, wood, rubber, soya, palm, cattle — and the things made from them. Find out whether your product is in scope, which deadline your company size gets, what risk tier your origin countries are, and exactly what to demand from your suppliers before the December deadline.
Is your product in scope?
Type a product or an HS code. This is a screening against the seven commodities and Annex I — not legal advice.
This is a screening of the wording against the seven commodities and Annex I — not a legal determination. The scope list is still moving; verify before you rely on it.
One deadline, two waves, one due-diligence chain.
Products from land deforested or degraded after 31 December 2020 can't be placed on or exported from the EU market. Getting the paperwork right — and knowing whether you file it or just collect it — is the whole game.
Seven commodities + derivatives
Cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soya, wood — plus products made from them (chocolate, furniture, paper, tyres, leather) defined by HS code in Annex I.
30 Dec 2026 / 30 Jun 2027
Large and medium operators from December 2026; micro and small operators on non-timber commodities get June 2027 — but small timber operators stay on December.
File a DDS, or just collect one?
Since the December 2025 revision, downstream operators and traders no longer file their own Due Diligence Statement — they collect and pass on the upstream reference numbers. Getting this wrong is the costliest mistake.
Low / standard / high
140 countries are low-risk (simplified due diligence), four are high-risk, the rest standard. Mixed or unclear origin drags the whole shipment to full due diligence.

What you're buying
Do I file a Due Diligence Statement, or just collect reference numbers?
It depends on your role, and the December 2025 revision changed it. The first operator placing goods on the EU market files the DDS; downstream operators and traders generally collect and pass on the upstream DDS reference numbers instead (non-SME downstream operators must also register and verify). The report determines which one you are and what that means in practice.
Is leather still in scope?
As at this report's date, yes — leather is a cattle-derived product in Annex I. But a draft delegated act proposes removing leather and retreaded tyres (and adding soluble coffee and some palm derivatives). The report flags anything under proposed change so you're not blindsided either way.
Which deadline applies to me?
Large and medium operators: 30 December 2026. Micro and small operators (under 50 staff, under €10m turnover) on non-timber commodities: 30 June 2027 — but small operators handling timber stay on December 2026. The report works this out from your size and product mix.
Is this legal advice?
No. It's a screening of your answers against the regulation — scope, role, deadline, documentary obligations — cited to the article, built to file as diligence. It does not and cannot verify that your plots are deforestation-free; that's what your supplier evidence and satellite screening are for. Confirm your classification with counsel before relying on it for market-access decisions.
Do UK companies need this?
Yes, if you place goods on the EU market — a UK exporter of coffee, chocolate, furniture or leather into the EU is an operator under EUDR like any other, and this angle is underserved.
