Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the EUDR?
The European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) law aims to reduce deforestation and forest degradation by requiring operators to trace the source of their traded commodities to the farms where they were produced. This transparency will help to eliminate the sourcing of commodities from areas linked to deforestation or forest degradation.
-
What commodities are included in the EUDR?
- Timber and Forest Products
- Palm Oil
- Soy
- Cocoa
- Rubber
- Cattle
- Coffee
The EUDR also applies to all products derived from these commodities, such as chocolate from cocoa, beef from cattle, and furniture from wood products.
-
What is an operator?
Due diligence broadly means that both large companies and small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) must be able to prove that the products they sell or export from the EU market come from deforestation-free sources. Risk assessments, reasonable doubt, and annual public reporting must align with the EUDR requirements and the relevant legislation of the country of production.
-
What are the traceability requirements for the EUDR?
Operators must be able to provide their geo-location coordinates of all tracts of land where commodities and related products were produced. This must also include the date and time when production occurred.
-
When does the EUDR take effect?
The deadline for compliance for larger operators is December 30, 2024, with smaller operators expected to comply by June 30, 2025.
-
How will the EUDR affect my business?
The provisions of the EUDR will impact businesses in several ways depending on what is produced, where production exists in the value chain, and other factors. Learn more about compliance for forest products professionals here.
-
What happens if my business does not comply with the EUDR?
Companies that fail to comply with the EUDR could face multiple penalties ranging from fines of up to 4% of revenue earned on the European market to the seizure of all earned revenue of non-complying products. More serious or ongoing compliance failure could also lead to the removal of products from the EU market altogether.
-

ForestLogger uses geo-fencing technology to acquire and transfer geo-location data from the forest to the mill gate, automating the compliance reporting process with minimal human interaction. The app can be downloaded to Apple and Android phones. No cellular service is required to use the app.
