Compliance context
What EUDR requires for cattle
Operators placing an in-scope cattle product on the EU market, or exporting it, must trace its production locations and assess whether it is deforestation-free against the 31 December 2020 cutoff. For production plots, a point is sufficient at 4 hectares or less, while a polygon is required above 4 hectares; cattle instead requires the locations of every establishment from birth to slaughter. You submit the due diligence statement in TRACES before the relevant product is placed on the market or exported. The rules first apply on 30 December 2026 for large and medium enterprises, and on 30 June 2027 for micro and small enterprises. Read the full cattle guide for commodity-specific collection and screening details.
Scope edges to watch
- Dairy products are outside scope.
- Finished bovine leather is in scope, but finished leather goods such as handbags under 4202 are not.
- Geolocation covers every establishment where the animal was kept, from birth to slaughter.
