How to use EUDRScope

Use this page as a quick operating guide for the public checker. It explains what the tool asks, what the outputs mean, and where the limits are.

What this tool does

EUDRScope is a public readiness checker for the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). It helps you work through a guided questionnaire and returns a practical triage result: likely in scope, likely out of scope, or needs review.

  • a likely role framing such as operator, trader, or downstream actor
  • an indicative implementation date block
  • a practical evidence checklist
  • a short summary of what your answers suggest

What you will be asked

  • the commodity involved
  • the product and whether it is relevant to a covered commodity
  • your company size
  • your role in the supply chain
  • your market activity such as placing on the EU market, making available, exporting, importing, or processing
  • whether a due diligence statement (DDS) already exists upstream

Covered commodities reflected in this tool

  • cattle
  • wood
  • cocoa
  • soy
  • palm oil
  • coffee
  • rubber

How to use the result

Treat the result as an initial operational assessment, not a legal determination.

Likely in scope

Your answers suggest the product, commodity, and activity are consistent with EUDR coverage and your business may need to prepare or confirm compliance steps.

Likely out of scope

The product or activity described does not appear to fall within the tool's current EUDR scope logic. You should still review edge cases, mixed products, and supply-chain specifics.

Needs review

The facts are incomplete, mixed, unusual, or too sensitive for a simple rule-based answer. This is common where classification, role, or upstream documentation is unclear.

Indicative implementation dates shown by the tool

  • 30 Dec 2026 for large operators and large businesses
  • 30 Jun 2027 for natural persons and micro or small enterprises

Always confirm current official guidance before relying on these dates operationally.

Important limitations

  • This tool does not replace legal advice.
  • It does not perform customs classification.
  • It does not validate whether a DDS is complete or legally sufficient.
  • For real commercial decisions, validate outputs with qualified compliance or legal advisors.
