EUDR
Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 on deforestation-free products
grown, harvested, obtained from or raised on relevant plots of land or, as regards cattle, on establishments;
Reference: Article 2, point 14
Key EUDR compliance trigger
EUDR applies to the listed commodities and derived products placed on or exported from the EU market from 30 December 2024 (large operators) and 30 June 2025 (SMEs), subject to the benchmarking system that classifies countries as low, standard, or high risk. The applicable obligation level depends on country risk classification as well as operator size.
Practical application
This term matters because EUDR due diligence depends on connecting products and commodities back to the specific origin plots or establishments.

Common confusions
