Starting on 30 December 2025, 7 export products must meet the EUDR requirements. All coffee, cacao, soy, palm oil, cattle, rubber and wood must:
- come from land not deforested after 1 January 2021; and
- be produced according to the producing country's laws.
Importers and traders in Europe must prove they comply with the EUDR legislation by signing a Due Diligence Statement (DDS).
