Looking ahead to EUDR requirements, entrepreneurs may ask themselves such questions:
Will I comply with the inspection requirements?
Can we show where the product comes from?
Can we recreate the flow of information?
Do we know who gave us the data?
Do we have the right documentation?
Are our procedures consistent with the real way the company operates?
This is why it is worth preparing for the EUDR not only for "fulfillment", but also demonstrating that the company does indeed have the right process.
It is also worth knowing that the most difficult questions arise only in practice. The regulation can be read. The guidelines of the European Commission can also be read. But it is only during the analysis of a particular company that questions such as:
- Is this product covered by EUDR?
- Is his CN/HS code correct?
- Who in our case is the operator?
- What information should we get from the supplier?
- Is the data we received sufficient?
- How to proceed when a supplier is outside the EU?
- How do I document my analysis?
- How to prepare a process for many products and suppliers?
This is precisely the focus of practical preparation for EUDR.
What do we recommend as experts? Do not learn EUDR by trial and error!
The introduction of new requirements always involves the risk of errors. In the case of EUDR, the problem is further complex because the provisions concern not only one document but the entire process – from product identification and supplier to information on its origin and due diligence.
It is therefore worth preparing the EUDR responsible before new rules are needed in practice.
