The EU is issuing detailed guidelines on the implementation of the anti-deforestation law. The law will come into force on 30 December 2024 and apply to small and medium-sized businesses from 30 June 2025.

Guidance on implementing the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR)

1. Scope of service
   The new rules apply if you place on the EU market or export the EU: palm oil, cattle, soy, coffee, cocoa, timber, and rubber as well as derived products (such as beef, furniture, or chocolate). The rules apply to any quantity of product, large or small.
   
2. Responsibility for evaluation
   VDue diligence must be done to ensure products are deforested-free. They come from land not deforested after December 31, 2020. They must also comply with the laws of the country where they are produced.
   
3. Traceability
   Operators must collect information, documents, and data proving that the product is not deforested and legal, such as geographic location coordinates, quantity, country of production, etc.
   
4. Registration system
   The verification report must be submitted electronically to the deforestation register created by the European Commission. These declarations will be checked in the register and by the competent authorities of the Member.

5. Implementation steps
   5. 1 – Source
   The goods must be produced legally and not deforested. Geolocation data of the production area must be collected.
   Goods produced illegally, on land deforested after 31 December 2020 or that are not traceable, do not comply with the regulations, and cannot be placed on the EU market. Compliant goods must be kept separate from those of unknown origin or substandard.
   5. 2 – Trading and transport
   Legal and deforested goods must be kept separate from other goods during trading and transport. It is not allowed to mix standard and non-standard goods or goods of unknown origin. In such cases, the entire consignment will be non-compliant and cannot be placed on the EU market.
   5. 3 – Import
   Before placing a product on the EU market, the importer must carry out due diligence.
   The importer must also submit a Declaration of Due Diligence and will receive a reference number (and security token), which must be declared in the import customs declaration.
   Only compliant products can be placed on the EU market. The operator can place a product on the EU market once the product has been granted import clearance by the customs authorities.
   5.4 – Manufacturing
   Large manufacturers of goods in the EU (e.g. chocolate manufacturers) must check that due diligence has been carried out at the upstream stage of the supply chain.
   Large manufacturers must check the Declaration of Due Diligence (DDS) of the importer of the goods and submit their own DDS for their products, using the reference number of the upstream DDS. The operator will then receive a new DDS reference number and security token.
