Question 1

Which commodities does EUDR cover?

Accepted Answer

Cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soya, and wood, plus products derived from them - leather, chocolate, furniture, tyres, paper, and more.

Question 2

What exactly does “deforestation-free” mean?

Accepted Answer

The commodity’s production plot must not have been deforested or degraded after 31 December 2020 - one fixed reference date across the whole regulation.

Question 3

When does EUDR actually apply?

Accepted Answer

Application was postponed a year: 30 December 2025 for large and medium operators, 30 June 2026 for micro and small enterprises.

Question 4

Does NormPass verify deforestation status itself?

Accepted Answer

No live satellite check is claimed. NormPass records the risk assessment outcome, evidence, and geolocation an operator provides, and generates the statement only when that record is genuinely negligible-risk and complete.

Question 5

What happens to high-risk shipments?

Accepted Answer

They stay flagged with no role resolved rather than defaulting to compliant - enhanced due diligence applies before any statement can generate.

Question 6

Can a statement be generated without geolocation data?

Accepted Answer

No. Plot coordinates are a required field on the statement itself, not an optional attachment.

Question 7

Does this cover Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers?

Accepted Answer

Yes, to the extent origin and plot data are provided - EUDR risk commonly sits upstream of a direct supplier, which is why Supplier Traceability feeds this module directly.

Question 8

Can I export a statement for customs or an auditor?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as PDF, with the full geolocation, attestation, and risk assessment record intact.
