The EUDR is a new law that requires companies trading in cattle, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, rubber, soya and wood, as well as products derived from those commodities, to conduct extensive diligence on the value chain to ensure the goods do not result from recent (post-2020) deforestation. If products fail these checks, they are banned from sale within the EU.
