EUDR Certification Consulting Services

Guangdong HQC Inspection Co., Ltd. is a comprehensive third-party inspection, testing and certification organization. As a professional EUDR certification consulting and EUDR compliance consulting firm, we provide full-scope due diligence consulting and supply chain traceability guidance to help companies meet the requirements of the EU Deforestation Regulation and maintain uninterrupted access to the European market.

What is the EUDR?

The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) (Regulation 2023/1115) entered into force in June 2023 and requires operators and traders placing certain commodities on the EU market – or exporting from it – to demonstrate that these products are: (i) deforestation-free, (ii) legally produced, and (iii) covered by a due diligence statement.

The regulation covers seven core commodities: cattle, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, rubber, soy, and wood – together with a wide range of derived products spanning the food and beverage, cosmetics, packaging, automotive, construction, and textile industries. Products placed on the EU market must originate from land not subject to deforestation after 31 December 2020.

Why EUDR compliance matters:

EU Market Access – Without a valid due diligence statement, products cannot enter the EU market

Supply Chain Transparency – Build end-to-end traceability from raw material to finished product

Avoid Severe Penalties – Non-compliance exposes operators to fines of up to 4% of annual EU-wide turnover, confiscation of products and revenues, and temporary exclusion from public procurement

Competitive Advantage – Early compliance demonstrates ESG leadership and builds buyer confidence

2026 EUDR Key Deadlines

The compliance deadlines are final and will not be extended again:

Entity Type  Compliance Deadline

Large and medium-sized companies     30 December 2026

Timber-sector micro and small enterprises 30 December 2026

Other micro and small enterprises 30 June 2027

On 4 May 2026, the European Commission published its simplification package, confirming no further postponement. Compliance costs are expected to be reduced by approximately 75% compared to the original framework, though core due diligence obligations remain fully in place.

EUDR Core Compliance Requirements

Operators must maintain a due diligence system covering three steps:

Information Collection – Gather plot-level geolocation (latitude and longitude coordinates to a minimum of six decimal places), supplier identity, production date, and evidence of legality

Risk Assessment – Evaluate deforestation and forest degradation risks based on collected information

Risk Mitigation – Implement measures to address non-negligible risks

A Due Diligence Statement (DDS) must be submitted through the EU Information System (EU Traces) before any product enters or leaves the EU market.
