EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) Gap Analysis

The EUDR applies to organizations placing relevant Annex I products on the EU market or exporting them from the EU. This includes products containing, made from or linked to cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soya or wood, where they fall within the CN/HS codes listed in Annex I of Regulation (EU) 2023/1115.

Your exact obligations depend on your role as operator, downstream operator or trader, and on whether you are placing products on the EU market for the first time, exporting from the EU, or handling products already covered by upstream due diligence.

Our assessment may cover, where applicable:

• Product scope and Annex I classification
• Role and obligation mapping
• Supplier and product-flow mapping
• Article 9 information collection
• Geolocation and production-origin evidence
• Legality evidence under Article 2(40)
• No-deforestation evidence
• Risk assessment and risk mitigation
• Due diligence system or simplified-declaration readiness
• Due diligence system reference and declaration identifier handling
• Substantiated concerns and escalation procedures
• Recordkeeping, management review and system updates

The scope and performance assessment vary according to the exact nature of your situation.

On completion, we provide a detailed report identifying gaps, observations, improvement opportunities and priority actions to strengthen your EUDR readiness.
