Common questions

What is EUDR and how does it affect my exports?

EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) requires operators and traders placing products on the EU market to ensure they are deforestation-free and comply with the production country's laws. Covered products: soya, beef, palm oil, wood, cocoa, coffee, rubber, and derivatives. Indian exporters of coffee, rubber, leather, and wood products must: (1) establish geo-location of production plots, (2) conduct due diligence on deforestation-free status, (3) file due diligence statements in EU TRACES. Enforcement, twice delayed, now starts 30 December 2026 (large/medium operators) and 30 June 2027 (micro/small).
