Compliance context
What EUDR requires for palm oil
Operators placing an in-scope palm oil 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.

Scope edges to watch
- Finished cosmetics and most food preparations that merely contain palm oil are not listed.
- Fractions and blends containing an in-scope oil follow the in-scope content.
- Scope follows the declared HS code, not the ingredients list.
