EUDR for SMEs
EUDR for small and medium-sized companies: what applies, and when.
The regulation gives micro and small companies more time and, in some cases, a simpler route. Medium-sized companies get fewer duties than large ones. Here is what applies, and software priced for the size of the job.

EUDR for SMEs
What you get
30 June 2027
For micro and small operators established by 31 December 2024, except for EU Timber Regulation products.

Starter covers one operator filing its own statements.
The dates
Large and medium operators and traders apply the regulation from 30 December 2026. Micro and small operators established by 31 December 2024 apply it from 30 June 2027, except for products in the Annex to the EU Timber Regulation, where the earlier date applies.
Simpler routes
A micro or small primary operator, a farmer or forest owner in a low-risk country selling what they produced, submits a one-time simplified declaration instead of a statement per shipment. A natural person or microenterprise may mandate the next operator or trader in the chain to file statements for it, if that one is not a microenterprise.
What does not change
An operator still needs the geolocation of every plot and the evidence behind its conclusion. That is where the time goes, and it is what EUDRplot checks and keeps, at a price set for a company with a handful of suppliers.
Questions
Am I a micro or small enterprise?
The EUDR uses the Accounting Directive's thresholds, where two of three criteria decide: staff, turnover and balance sheet. Roughly, micro is up to 10 staff and €900,000 turnover, small up to 50 staff and €15 million. The EUDR check works it out with you.
Who can use the simplified declaration?
Natural persons and micro or small undertakings established in a low-risk country, placing on the market or exporting products they grew, harvested or raised themselves in that country.
Does the later date apply to wood?
Not to products covered by the Annex to the EU Timber Regulation, which already had obligations under it.
