Definitive EUDR guide for soy importers

The EUDR (Reg. EU 2023/1115) applies to soy (HS 1201.00) and its derivatives. If you import soy or products containing it into the EU, you must prove the plot of origin is deforestation-free after 31 December 2020.

1. What EUDR covers for soy

EUDR covers soybeans, meal, oil and derived products. The main risk zone is Brazil (Cerrado and Amazon), where soy expansion is linked to deforestation.

2. Plot geolocation

Each soy plot must be geolocated with a 6-decimal GeoJSON polygon.

3. Satellite screening

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

4. Risk assessment

Key factors: country of origin (Brazil is high-risk), product type (beans vs meal vs oil) and lot mixing in silos.

5. DDS dossier and TRACES

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