Key EUDR dates

The application date is set: 30 December 2026.

The Commission’s May 2026 simplification review kept the timeline and did not propose changes to the regulation’s legal text. For importers, the remaining months are implementation time.

  1. Main application date

    Large and medium operators, and downstream operators and traders of any size. Micro and small operators too, if their products were already covered by the EU Timber Regulation (EUTR).

  2. Micro and small operators

    Micro and small operators (established by 31 Dec 2024) for all other products. Micro or small primary operators can use a simplified declaration.

  3. Newly added products

    Products added to Annex I in 2026, such as soluble coffee and certain palm oil derivatives.

Sources: Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 as amended by Regulation (EU) 2025/2650; Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/2102. Status checked October 2026. This overview is not legal advice.

How it works

From scattered records to a file someone can check.

Methodology in detail
  1. 1

    Scope

    Products, CN codes, suppliers, and the deadline that applies are clear before any data request goes out.

  2. 2

    Collect

    Plantation locations, harvest papers, and delivery records are requested from suppliers, in Vietnamese where needed.

  3. 3

    Check

    Geolocation, GeoJSON format, documents, satellite data, and the wood-to-product link are checked. Gaps are marked.

  4. 4

    Hand over

    A structured evidence file for the due diligence statement, plus templates so the next shipment is routine.

FAQ

Questions we hear most

When does the EUDR apply to wood and furniture?

Large and medium operators apply the EUDR from 30 December 2026. Micro and small operators do too for products that were already covered by the EU Timber Regulation, which includes most wooden furniture. For other products, for example wooden seats (CN 9401), micro and small operators have until 30 June 2027. The CN code of the product decides.

I am a manufacturer in Vietnam. Do I have to submit a due diligence statement?

No. The statement is submitted in the EU Information System by the company that places the product on the EU market. But that company needs your information to do it: plantation geolocation, legality documents, and the link from the wood to the product.

Vietnam is low risk. What do we still need?

Low risk allows simplified due diligence, so a full risk assessment is not required unless something points to a problem. The geolocation and legality information is still needed for every shipment. Timber imported into Vietnam from other countries keeps the risk level of its country of origin.

What geolocation data is needed?

Coordinates of every plot where the wood was grown. For plots larger than four hectares, a polygon of the plot boundary is needed, for smaller plots a single point is enough. The data is submitted in GeoJSON format.

Does an FSC or other certificate replace EUDR due diligence?

No. Certificates can support the evidence, but they do not replace the geolocation, legality, and traceability information the EUDR requires. We check what an existing certificate actually covers.

Is LamNova a law firm or a certification body?

Neither. LamNova does the operational work: collecting, checking, and structuring supplier evidence. We do not give legal advice, issue certificates, or guarantee acceptance. Legal questions go to qualified counsel.
