EU Regulation on Deforestation-free Products (EUDR)

The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) requires proof that covered products are deforestation-free before entering the EU market. This applies to goods containing beef, soy, palm oil, timber, coffee, cocoa, rubber, and derivatives. Non-compliance risks fines of up to 4% of annual EU turnover and market exclusion. Building compliant supply chains takes time for geolocation mapping, supplier engagement, and documentation. Acting now protects market access and strengthens your reputation with sustainability-driven buyers and investors. 

The EUDR service applies to all companies placing relevant commodities or derived products on the EU market, regardless of size or origin. This covers goods identified by specific HS codes linked to beef, soy, palm oil, timber, coffee, cocoa, rubber, and any products made from them, such as chocolate, furniture, leather goods, cosmetics, and paper. It affects importers, manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. Businesses with multi-tier supply chains or sourcing from high-risk regions require expert support to manage geolocation, verification, and documentation requirements effectively. 

Implementation should begin immediately, as EUDR enforcement has already started. A Due Diligence Statement (DDS) must be submitted before covered products are placed on the EU market. Supply chain mapping can take 30–60 days, followed by supplier engagement and data collection. Full system readiness may take 6–12 months. Continuous monitoring is required for each shipment, making early action critical to avoid disruption. 

We partner exclusively with Osapiens for EUDR compliance. Their platform enables geolocation data collection, forest cover analysis, and automated compliance documentation. Features include satellite imagery integration, supply chain mapping, and risk assessment tools. This ensures all data meets regulatory standards, is verifiable, and can be submitted directly to the EU information system with minimal manual work. 

Our Sustainability as a Service model manages the entire EUDR process. We identify relevant HS codes, map supply chains, collect geolocation data to the plot level, and prepare Due Diligence Statements for each shipment. In-house teams often encounter supplier delays, incomplete location data, or difficulty aligning formats with EUDR requirements. We ensure all relevant products placed on the EU market meet EUDR requirements, with complete, inspection-ready documentation that safeguards market access and avoids costly disruptions.
