A regulatory term referring to cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soya and wood.
Relevant commodities is EUDR's closed list of raw commodity categories that trigger the regime: cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soya, and wood. The closed-list structure matters because scope begins with whether a commodity is named at all.
Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 on deforestation-free products
cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soya and wood;
Reference: Article 2, point 1
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.
This term matters when companies determine whether their sourcing or product portfolio is even inside the Regulation before they spend time on deeper due-diligence mapping. It is the first screening layer that decides whether an EUDR workflow should start.
For Minespider, relevant commodities is a scope-trigger term. It is the list that determines when traceability and origin-evidence work becomes legally urgent rather than merely desirable.
