If products are currently non‑compliant, appropriate risk‑mitigation measures must be taken before they can be placed on the market or exported. One such measure may involve collecting additional information, data, or documentation to meet the required information standards.

As suppliers must also establish a due‑diligence system and prepare a due‑diligence report, please explain how your process functions to mitigate risk where necessary. Additionally, describe how you verify the accuracy of the information provided.

If a non‑negligible risk is identified, measures must be taken to achieve compliance for placing products on or exporting from the EU market. One approach is to conduct independent investigations or audits.

Operators shall establish adequate and appropriate policies, controls, and procedures to effectively reduce and manage the identified risks of non‑compliance of relevant products. These policies, controls, and procedures shall include risk‑management models, reporting, record‑keeping, internal controls, and compliance management, including the appointment of a management‑level compliance officer for non‑SME operators and an independent audit function to review the internal policies, controls, and procedures of all non‑SME operators.

Suppliers must provide necessary information about the products they supply to ensure successful import into the EU. Given the extensive information required and the EU’s reliance on suppliers for critical data to meet EUDR compliance, it is essential to communicate these requirements clearly to suppliers. Providing training can help ensure that products ultimately meet EU regulatory standards.

To understand your approach, please explain the methods used.

Capacity‑building or investment in suppliers can help scale operations and ensure they meet compliance standards. Under EUDR, this may include supporting suppliers through independent audits, requests for additional data or documentation, and other measures to fulfill the information requirements of Article 9.

To understand the type of support offered, please explain the methods used.

If measures beyond audits and investigations have been taken to reduce risk, they must be described.
