  2. Answer the few follow-up questions that matter for your case, such as your company size, when it became micro or small, and where you produce.

Input and output

Input
Your answers to a few questions: the commodity in your product, what you do with it, who imports it, your company size and, where it matters, when it became micro or small and where you produce.
Output
Whether the EUDR applies to you, your role, the date it applies from (30 December 2026 or 30 June 2027), what you file, your other duties, and links to the articles of Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 behind each answer.

Example

Input

Coffee · I sell it to buyers in the EU from outside the EU · My buyer is the importer

Output

The EUDR puts no legal duty on you
You don’t place the goods on the EU market yourself, so you file nothing.
Good to know: Your EU buyer is the operator and files the statement. To do that it needs the geolocation of every plot you source from, so expect to be asked for it.
Based on Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 as amended by 2025/2650: Article 2, Article 4

Limits

  • It's guidance, not legal advice.
  • It doesn't say whether you comply, and it files nothing for you.
  • It follows Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 as changed by Regulation (EU) 2025/2650, as of the “rules last checked” date on the page.
  • It checks your role for one product at a time, not whether a specific HS code is listed in Annex I.

Questions

When does the EUDR apply?

The rules apply from 30 December 2026. Qualifying micro and small operators (the companies that place goods on the EU market or export them) established as such by 31 December 2024 have until 30 June 2027, except for EUTR-listed products. Traders and downstream operators follow the December 2026 date. Both dates are in Article 38 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 as changed by Regulation (EU) 2025/2650. Products added to Annex I in 2027, such as soluble coffee, are covered from 30 December 2027.

Does the EUDR apply to small companies?

Yes. Size doesn't take a company out of scope, but it changes what it does and when. Micro and small operators established by 31 December 2024 get the later date of 30 June 2027 (except for EUTR-listed products); traders and downstream operators don't. Micro and small producers established in a low-risk country and selling what they grew there file a one-off simplified declaration, which replaces the due diligence statement requirement; due diligence still applies. A micro company may ask the next company down the chain to file for it. Traders and downstream operators file nothing, whatever their size: they keep records of their suppliers and customers, and large ones also register.

Do farmers and co-ops outside the EU have to file?

Not under the EUDR, unless they place the goods on the EU market themselves, for example as the importer on the EU customs declaration or by selling straight to EU consumers. Their EU buyer is the operator and files the due diligence statement. To do that it needs the geolocation of every plot the goods come from, so expect the buyer to ask for it.
