An interactive EUDR readiness check is now on the desk

The EUDR readiness checklist on the desk is now an interactive self-assessment tool. You can work through the requirement stage by stage, tick off what you have in place, and see at a glance what is still outstanding, with each item tagged for whose responsibility it is, the EU operator or importer on one side and the origin side on the other. The filled-in checklist can be saved as a PDF to keep as a working document or share with a counterparty.

The tool is an organisational aid, not a restatement of the law. For the requirement itself, the scope, the risk classification, and the current application dates, the EUDR page remains the single reference, and the checklist links back to it throughout. The EUDR requires that coffee placed on the EU market be deforestation-free, produced legally, and traceable to the plot of land where it grew, supported by a Due Diligence Statement.

The readiness of a shipment is a shared piece of work. The origin side assembles the plot-level geolocation, the legality evidence, and the chain of custody; the operator or importer files the Due Diligence Statement and carries their own compliance. The tool is built to make that split legible before a shipment opens. Work through it on the EUDR readiness checklist.
