Seven commodities, and everything they drag in.
Most businesses that get caught are caught by a derived product — the pallet, the packaging, the palm derivative in a formulation — not by the raw commodity.

The questions people actually ask.
01When does the EUDR actually apply?
Regulation (EU) 2025/2650 postponed application to 30 December 2026 for large and medium operators and traders. Micro and small operators dealing in non-timber products have until 30 June 2027. Micro and small operators whose products were already covered by the EU Timber Regulation do not get the extension and must comply from 30 December 2026.
02Which products are covered by the EUDR?
Seven commodities — cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soya and wood — plus the derived products listed in Annex I. That includes chocolate, furniture, paper, packaging, palm oil derivatives, soy meal and soluble coffee. Printed books and newspapers were removed from scope by Regulation (EU) 2025/2650, and a Commission delegated act adopted 13 July 2026 removed cattle hides, skins and leather and some vulcanised-rubber articles. Scope is decided by customs (CN) code rather than by how the product is described commercially.
03Do I still have to file a due diligence statement if I buy within the EU?
No. Since Regulation (EU) 2025/2650, only the operator who first places the product on the EU market files a due diligence statement. Downstream operators and traders collect and retain the reference number of that statement instead. Downstream operators and traders that are not SMEs must still register in the EU Information System.
04What are the penalties for non-compliance with the EUDR?
Fines of at least 4% of annual EU-wide turnover at maximum, confiscation of products and of the revenues derived from them, exclusion from public procurement and public funding for up to 12 months, and a temporary prohibition on placing products on the market for serious or repeated infringements.
05What is the EUDR cut-off date?
Relevant products must be produced on land that has not been subject to deforestation after 31 December 2020. Wood must additionally not have caused forest degradation after that date.
Do not guess which deadline is yours.
The gap between 30 December 2026 and 30 June 2027 turns on your size and on whether your goods were already under the Timber Regulation. Guess wrong in the wrong direction and you are trading unlawfully.
