Operators must collect, organize, and retain the required information and evidence for five years after market placement or export. Failure to do so may result in non-compliance with EUDR. Please clarify any reasons for being unable to collect this information.

Operators must take appropriate steps to ensure compliance with EUDR’s deforestation-free and legality requirements. This involves collecting the information, data, and documents specified in Articles 9–11 for risk assessment and mitigation.

Please provide the name of your satellite data provider (e.g.,  Satelligence , Global Forest Watch , Descartes , Carto , EU Forest Observatory, or other).

Satellite monitoring is required to verify that products are not linked to deforestation occurring after December 31, 2020.

Remote sensing or other sources can verify geolocation and deforestation links. Operators must confirm that products were not sourced from land deforested after December 31, 2020, and for wood products, that harvesting did not cause forest degradation post that date. Non-compliance prohibits EU market placement.
