Definitive EUDR guide for rubber importers

The EUDR (Reg. EU 2023/1115) applies to natural rubber (HS 4001.00) and its derivatives, including tires. If you import rubber or rubber products into the EU, you must prove the plantation of origin is deforestation-free after 31 December 2020.

1. What EUDR covers for rubber

EUDR covers natural rubber, latex and manufactured products like tires. The main producing regions are Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and Côte d'Ivoire.

2. Plantation geolocation

Each rubber plantation must be geolocated with a 6-decimal GeoJSON polygon.

3. Satellite screening

Satellite screening verifies whether the plantation had forest cover at the cut-off date (31 Dec 2020).

4. Risk assessment

Key factors: country of origin, product type (crude rubber vs tires) and chain complexity.

5. DDS dossier and TRACES

The dossier includes operator, product, geolocation, statements and risk assessment.
