EUDR FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
EUDR stands for “European Union Deforestation Regulation”. This regulation aims to ensure that products sold in the EU do not contribute to deforestation and forest degradation.
The EUDR regulation requires companies to demonstrate that their products do not originate from recently deforested areas and do not cause forest damage. This applies to raw materials such as wood, coffee, cocoa, soy, palm oil, rubber, and beef, as well as products made from them.
All companies that sell, provide, or export the mentioned products from the EU are affected. This applies to large companies as well as small and medium-sized enterprises, with the latter having a longer adaptation period.
Violations of the EUDR directive can result in high fines for companies, up to 4% of their EU turnover, confiscation of affected products, and exclusion from public contracts and funding. Repeated violations can even lead to a trade ban in the EU.
Software solutions like those from osapiens make it easier to comply with EUDR requirements. They capture geolocation data, ensure supply chain traceability, and perform risk analyses. These tools also help in creating and managing the necessary due diligence declarations.
