What EUDR Scope is
Position stated as at 9 July 2026
EUDR Scope produces a screening position report for the EU Deforestation Regulation — Regulation (EU) 2023/1115, as amended by Regulation (EU) 2025/2650. You tell us your products, how they reach the EU market, your company size and your origin countries; we return a dated report that tells you where you stand: whether each product is in scope, which role you play in the chain, which compliance deadline applies to you, and what risk tier your origin countries carry — with ready-to-send supplier data-request letters.
The regulation is broad, the roles are easy to misread, and the deadlines split by company size and commodity. A business can spend weeks reading guidance to answer one question: am I even caught by this, and if so, do I file the paperwork or just collect it? This report answers that question in plain English, cited to the article, so you can plan the work instead of guessing at it.
Who this is for
Anyone placing the listed commodities — or products made from them — on or exporting them from the EU market. In practice that means:
- Coffee roasters importing green or roasted beans.
- Chocolate makers and confectioners working with cocoa.
- Furniture, flooring, paper and packaging importers handling wood and wood-derived products.
- Rubber importers — tyres, seals, industrial rubber goods.
- Buyers of soya, palm oil, cattle-derived products and leather, and the goods made from them.
- UK exporters shipping coffee, chocolate, furniture, paper or leather into the EU — a UK company placing goods on the EU market is an operator under EUDR like any other, and it is an angle few tools address.
Screening, not legal advice — and not a deforestation assessment
Two boundaries matter, and we are explicit about both.
This is a screening, not legal advice. The report reads your answers against the regulation and tells you the position they imply — scope, role, deadline, documentary obligations. It does not create a professional-client relationship, and it is not a substitute for advice from qualified counsel before you make a market-access decision. Confirm your classification with a professional before you rely on it.
And it is not a deforestation assessment. This is the distinction people most often blur. We determine your obligations under the regulation — we do not verify that your plots are deforestation-free. Proving your goods came from land not deforested or degraded after 31 December 2020 is a separate exercise built on your supplier evidence, geolocation data and satellite screening. Our report tells you what that duty is and who owns it; it does not discharge it for you.
Independent and honest about its limits
EUDR Scope is an independent educational tool. It is not affiliated with, authorized by, or endorsed by the European Union, the European Commission, or any competent authority. The regulation's scope list and guidance are still moving — a delegated act on product scope is pending and a benchmarking review of country risk is due in 2026 — so the report states its position as at its date and flags anything under proposed change, rather than pretending the picture is settled.
