EUDR due diligence
EUDR due diligence, in the three steps the regulation sets out.
Article 8 of the EUDR defines due diligence as collecting information, assessing risk and mitigating it. EUDRplot keeps each step per product, so the statement you file rests on a record you can show.
- Data hosted in the EU
- Files straight to the EU Information System
- Encrypted, GDPR, DPA included
- Five-year audit trail
EUDR due diligence
What you get
Information (Article 9)
Product, quantity, suppliers, country of production and the geolocation of every plot, with the evidence that production was legal.
Risk assessment (Article 10)
The criteria of Article 10(2), one by one, with what the app already knows beside each.
Mitigation (Article 11)
What you did where the risk was not negligible: more documents, audits, satellite checks.
Simplified due diligence (Article 13)
Offered only when every country of production is classed as low risk.
Yearly review
A concluded assessment is frozen with its facts and comes back for review a year later.
Five years of records
Everything kept, with who did what and when.
Step 1: information
For every product: a description and trade name, the HS code, the quantity, the country of production, the geolocation of every plot of land where the commodity was produced, the date or period of production, the suppliers and customers, and adequate, verifiable information that the product is deforestation-free and was produced legally. EUDRplot collects most of it through supplier links and checks the geolocation as it arrives.
Step 2: risk assessment
The regulation lists what to weigh: the country's risk classification, forest in the area, the presence of indigenous peoples, complexity of the supply chain, the risk of mixing with products of unknown origin, corruption, the reliability of information, and more. EUDRplot shows each criterion with the facts it already holds, such as plot errors, forest loss, overlaps between suppliers and expired documents. You rate it and say how you checked.
Step 3: mitigation
Where the risk is not negligible, you gather more information, commission audits or checks, and support suppliers, until it is. Each measure is recorded against the criterion it answers.
Then the statement
Only a concluded assessment with no risk, or a negligible one, leads to a due diligence statement. That order is built into the application.

Who has to exercise due diligence?
Operators: those who place relevant products on the EU market or export them. Since Regulation (EU) 2025/2650, downstream operators and traders do not repeat it for products already covered by a statement; they keep supplier details and reference numbers.
What if all my supply comes from low-risk countries?
Simplified due diligence applies: you still collect the information, but you do not have to assess and mitigate risk unless you learn of something that points to one.
How often does the assessment have to be reviewed?
At least once a year, and whenever you learn something new. EUDRplot sets the review date when you conclude.
What if the risk is not negligible?
Then the product cannot be placed on the market until mitigation brings it down to negligible.
