Questions buyers ask

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

Am I an operator or a trader?

The first to place a product on the EU market or to export it is an operator, anyone later is a trader unless processing creates a new relevant product. The first four digits of the customs code decide, so roasting green coffee within heading 0901 leaves a roaster a trader. Making chocolate (1806) from cocoa beans (1801) does create a new relevant product, and its maker is a downstream operator, which submits no statement either.

Regulation (EU) 2025/2650

How long do I keep the records?

Five years from the date of placing on the market or export, and the records must be retrievable by consignment and by plot.

Art. 12

Can I take plot data from my cooperative or exporter?

Yes, the Commission FAQ allows collection through cooperatives, exporters or certifiers, but you remain responsible for it being correct. Start with the cooperative's own data, screen it, and send field staff only to the plots that need it.
