EUDR check: are you ready?
The EUDR applies from 30 December 2026. This free EUDR compliance check shows you in two minutes how well prepared you are for the EUDR and what to do next. No sign-up needed.
What is the EUDR check?
The EUDR check is a self-assessment that shows in two minutes how well prepared your company is for the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). It is an interactive alternative to the classic EUDR checklist: you answer eight short questions about products, suppliers and data and receive an assessment with concrete next steps.
What does the EUDR compliance check cover?
The check covers the areas that matter when implementing the EUDR:
- Scope: Do your products fall under the EUDR?
- Suppliers and origin: Do you know your suppliers and countries of origin?
- Traceability: Can you trace origin back to the plot of production?
- Geolocation: Do you have geolocation coordinates or polygons of the plots?
- Legality: Is there evidence of legal production?
- Risk assessment: Is the risk documented for each country of origin and supplier?
- Due diligence statement: Do you know how to prepare it and submit it in TRACES?
Your EUDR check result: three stages
Getting oriented: you are at the start and building an overview. On track: you have a foundation, but gaps remain. Ready to go: you are well positioned and need a lasting process. For each stage you receive matching next steps.
Am I affected by the EUDR?
The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) affects companies that place certain commodities and products made from them on the EU market or export them from it: cattle, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, soy, wood and rubber, for example in furniture, paper, chocolate or leather goods. The products must not come from land that was deforested or degraded after 31 December 2020.
The company that first places a relevant product on the EU market, usually the importer, submits a due diligence statement in the EU information system TRACES. This requires traceability down to the plot of production, evidence of legal production, geolocation data for the plots and a risk assessment.

Frequently asked questions about the EUDR check
What is the EUDR check?
A self-assessment that shows how well prepared your company is for the EUDR. It replaces neither legal advice nor an official review.
Who is the EUDR compliance check for?
For importers and first operators, and also for traders and suppliers who want to know how well their supply chain data is prepared. Some questions mainly concern first operators.
What is a due diligence statement?
A document (DDS) in which the first operator confirms that origin, legality and deforestation-freedom have been checked. It is submitted via the EU Information System TRACES.
What data do I need from my suppliers?
Origin down to the plot of production, geolocation coordinates or polygons of the plots, evidence of legal production and information for the risk assessment.
Do I need to collect documents from suppliers in low-risk countries?
Yes. A low-risk classification reduces the effort of the risk assessment, but it does not remove the duty to collect and archive evidence.
When does the EUDR apply?
From 30 December 2026 for large and medium-sized operators and traders, and for small and micro enterprises with timber products already covered by the EU Timber Regulation (EUTR). All other small and micro enterprises follow on 30 June 2027.
Is this check legal advice?
No, it offers orientation. EUDR deadlines and requirements change. Check the current status with the competent authorities or legal counsel.
