For importers who sign the statement

Coffee, cocoa, soya, palm oil, rubber, wood or cattle: every plot screened against the 2020 cutoff, every decision recorded with its reason, and the statement prepared from the same record.

What Article 9 asks you to hold

Each item of Article 9(1), and the part of Konstata that holds it. By submitting the statement, the operator assumes responsibility for the compliance of the product (Art. 4(3)).

Questions buyers ask

Each answer cites its article and links the guide that goes further.

When does the EUDR apply to my company?

From 30 December 2026 for large and medium companies and from 30 June 2027 for micro and small ones, as set by Regulation (EU) 2025/2650. Size is judged as at 31 December 2024 and per legal entity.

Regulation (EU) 2025/2650

What is a due diligence statement and when is it submitted?

It is the electronic declaration, submitted in the EU Information System before the product is placed on the market or exported, that due diligence was done and risk is negligible. It returns a reference number that goes to customs.

Art. 4, Art. 33, Art. 26(4)

Is tree-cover loss the same as deforestation?

No. Satellites report loss of tree cover, while the Regulation prohibits conversion of forest, and agricultural plantations including agroforestry are not forest. A flagged plot is an obligation to look, and the finding goes in the file.

Art. 2(6)

Does the screening replace my decision?

No. Each plot is cleared, held or detected with a written reason, a person decides every held and detected plot, and the decision is a separate record that never alters the screening. Konstata gives no legal conclusion.
