What you must do

  • Geolocate every production plot (point for <4 ha, polygon above)
  • Prove no deforestation after the cut-off — the Commission's own JRC maps are accepted evidence
  • File your due diligence statement (DDS) in TRACES NT and get the reference number before customs

Now screen your actual parcels

The rule requires geolocation of every plot and proof of no deforestation after 31-Dec-2020. Our actor checks each parcel against the official EU JRC maps (2020 forest baseline + post-2020 change + country tier) and returns evidence you can attach to your DDS — $0.05 per parcel, no subscription.
