Commodity scope

Seven commodities. Product scope follows Annex I.

EUDR applies only to relevant products identified by the applicable CN/HS codes—not automatically to every derived product.

Coverage depends on the relevant product description and CN/HS code in the latest version of EUDR Annex I.

The legal test

Three conditions must be satisfied.

Before a relevant product is placed on, made available on, or exported from the EU market, it must meet all three Article 3 conditions.

Official due diligence process

Collect. Assess. Mitigate.

Reporting and system submission document the outcome; they are not a fourth due-diligence step.

  1. 1
    Information collection

    Product, quantity, origin, suppliers, customers, geolocation, production date and supporting evidence.

  2. 2
    Risk assessment

    Evaluate country risk, forest presence, supply-chain complexity, information reliability and other Article 10 criteria.

  3. 3
    Risk mitigation

    Where risk is not negligible, obtain additional evidence, conduct surveys or audits, and apply proportionate controls.

Then confirm due diligenceSubmit the applicable declaration before placing the product on the EU market or lodging the customs declaration.
Southeast Asia market focus

One region. Different production-country risk levels.

Trans Cert supports producers, processors, exporters and EU customers sourcing across Southeast Asia. The country of production—not the trading or trans-shipment hub—determines which EUDR risk classification applies.

Low risk

Brunei, Lao PDR, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste and Vietnam

Standard risk

Cambodia, Indonesia and Malaysia

High risk

Myanmar

Verify the current EU country benchmark
Evidence handoverTypical roles
SEA producer / processor / exporter

Provides origin, plot, production, legality, traceability and deforestation-free evidence.

EU operator / importer

Exercises due diligence and submits the applicable declaration before market placement or import.

Exact responsibility depends on the legal entity, transaction and supply-chain role.

TRANS EUDR services

Turn supply-chain data into review-ready evidence.

Our work is structured around the records your customer, operator or assurance team will need to examine—not a generic checklist.

01

EUDR readiness assessment

Identify applicable products, roles, data gaps and priority actions before the regulation applies.

02

Supply-chain data review

Map suppliers, facilities, plots, batches and information flows across the relevant supply chain.

03

Geolocation & traceability verification

Review plot coordinates, polygon data, production dates and the link between origin and shipment.

04

Deforestation-free evidence review

Evaluate maps, satellite evidence and records against the 31 December 2020 cut-off date.

05

Legality documentation review

Assess relevant licences, land-use rights, permits and other country-of-production evidence.

06

Risk assessment & mitigation support

Structure risk evaluation, document conclusions and define proportionate mitigation actions.

How we work

A focused four-stage engagement.

This is the Trans Cert service workflow, separate from the three legal due-diligence steps above.

01

Scope

Confirm products, HS codes, entities and supply-chain roles.

02

Diagnose

Identify missing plot, supplier, legality and shipment evidence.

03

Verify

Test traceability, documents and risk conclusions.

04

Report

Issue findings, action priorities and a verification record.

Clear positioning. No false assurance.

TRANS EUDR is an independent readiness and verification service. It is not an EU certification scheme and does not replace an operator’s legal responsibility, due diligence system or declaration.

Frequently asked questions

What exporters and EU customers usually ask first.

Product scope and responsibility should always be confirmed against the latest legal text and the actual transaction.

Official EU EUDR resources
Is MSPO, RSPO, FSC or PEFC certification enough for EUDR?

Certification and third-party verified information can support an EUDR evidence package, but they do not automatically replace the operator’s due diligence obligations, product-level traceability or the applicable declaration in the EU Information System.

Who normally submits the Due Diligence Statement?

For products entering the EU, the EU operator or importer normally submits the applicable declaration before the customs declaration is lodged. Southeast Asian producers and exporters typically provide the origin, geolocation, legality and traceability evidence needed by that operator.

How does EUDR country benchmarking affect Southeast Asia?

Under the current benchmark, Brunei, Lao PDR, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste and Vietnam are listed as low risk; Cambodia, Indonesia and Malaysia remain standard risk; and Myanmar is listed as high risk. The relevant classification follows the country where the commodity was produced, not a later trading hub.

What is the EUDR deforestation cut-off date?

Relevant commodities must not have been produced on land subject to deforestation after 31 December 2020. For wood, the forest-degradation requirements also apply.

Does EUDR cover every product made from the seven commodities?

No. Scope depends on the current product entries and CN/HS codes in Annex I. A product-scope check should be completed before collecting evidence or making a compliance claim.
