Check your roleEUDR scope: operators, traders, and downstream operators
Identify the role your business holds in the supply chain and what that role must submit, retain, or pass along.
Timeline
Check the deadlinesEUDR delay and deadlines
Check whether 30 December 2026 or 30 June 2027 applies to you, including the SME criteria and EUTR exception.
Changes
Understand the changesEUDR simplification: what changed?
Separate reduced downstream filing duties from exemption, and understand who can use a simplified declaration.
Due diligence
Read the guideEUDR due diligence requirements

Information system
Open the TRACES guideTRACES NT for EUDR
Find the correct system, register an operator, request roles, and understand web-services access.
Prepare a statement
Organise the submission fields and understand the identifiers that connect a statement to your goods.
File preparation
Check submission limitsDDS size and structural limits
Check the published limits, distinguish file bytes from entry counts, and preserve traceability when preparing larger inputs.
Troubleshooting
Diagnose a failed submissionEUDR submission errors
Identify data and access failures, reconcile uncertain responses, and decide what needs fixing before retrying.
Geolocation
Check location requirementsEUDR geolocation requirements
Work out when a plot needs a point or polygon and collect the right production locations.
Tutorial
Follow the submission stepsHow to submit a DDS in TRACES
Follow a fictional acceptance example through product selection, plot coordinates, draft review and submission.
Local tool
Check a GeoJSON fileEUDR GeoJSON validator
Check coordinates, polygon boundaries and import properties in your browser without uploading your file.
Template
Use the worksheetDDS template and worked example
Prepare the Annex II fields with a free worksheet and an annotated synthetic wood example.
Reference numbers
Check the identifiersDDS reference and verification numbers
Distinguish the reference, verification number and UUID, with checks for missing identifiers and customs handoffs.
Implement EUDR
Turn the legal requirements into controlled evidence, validation, submission, and exception-handling workflows.
Authority
Understand representative filingFiling as an authorised representative
Agree the mandate, client decisions and system access when your team submits declarations for other operators.
Client onboarding
Use the onboarding checklistEUDR client onboarding checklist
Use a free Excel record to agree scope, evidence owners, approvals and handover before the first live filing.
