New EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR)

Essential Information for Importers and Exporters

The new EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) introduces significant obligations for companies importing and exporting products such as palm oil, soy, coffee, cocoa, beef, and wood into or out of the EU. As importers or exporters, it is crucial to ensure that your goods comply with the “deforestation-free” requirements of this regulation. Here are the key points to note:

– Due Diligence: Importers must verify that their products are not linked to deforestation after December 31, 2020, and provide documentation to prove it.
– Traceability: You are required to submit detailed information about the geographic origin of your goods when they are cleared at customs.
– Compliance: Non-compliance with the regulation can result in fines, shipment delays, or other legal penalties.
To better understand how the EUDR affects your business, we recommend using the “Regelhulp Tool” to assess the specific steps you need to take.

Ensure you and your supply chain partners are fully prepared for the EUDR requirements. By doing so, we can facilitate a smooth customs process for your goods.
