EUDR Compliance Extension: What the New Deadlines Mean for Your

The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is reshaping global trade, mandating deforestationfree supply chains for products exported to the European Union. Originally slated to take effecton December 30, 2024, the compliance deadlines have been postponed by one year. Followingan October 2024 proposal by the European Commission, the European Parliament voted onNovember 14, 2024, to extend the deadline for large operators and traders to December 30,2025, and for micro- and small enterprises to June 30, 2026.

This extension provides businesses with additional time to adapt to EUDR’s rigorousrequirements. However, for companies importing regulated commodities like cocoa, coffee, palmoil, soy, cattle, wood, and rubber, preparing early is critical to maintaining access to the EUmarket and positioning for long-term success.
