For exporters and cooperatives: send geolocation files that pass first time
Your EU buyers need geolocation for every plot. Check and fix your members' files free, then keep them up to date and share proof with your buyers.
EU buyers must include the geolocation of every plot their products came from (Regulation (EU) 2023/1115, Art. 9(1)(d)), and they get it from you. A file that fails in the EU Information System comes back, often after the shipment has left.
Getting it right the first time (free)
- Map the plots. A point for plots of four hectares or less, a polygon above (Regulation (EU) 2023/1115, Art. 2(28)). See mapping with a phone.
- Build one file for many members. A cooperative file is usually Type II: every plot
needs a two-letter
ProducerCountry(GeoJSON File Description, File Variants Description, Type II). - Check it. Drop it on the checker. It works offline once loaded, and your members' data stays on your computer.
- Fix and send. Apply the fixes, download the GeoJSON and the change log, and send both. Every fix and download here is free.
If you place goods on the EU market yourself
Since the 2025 amendment, micro or small primary operators in low-risk countries (producers placing their own produce on the market) submit a one-time simplified declaration and may give postal addresses instead of geolocation (Regulation (EU) 2025/2650, Art. 1(5)). See the glossary entry.
In your language
The checker and these pages are in English today. French, Spanish and Portuguese are in preparation.
With a paid plan
- Keep every member's plots in one place (Starter). Save the file as a project with five years of history, and update it as members join or remap.
- Prove it to buyers (Starter). Send a read-only report link or a PDF report showing the file passed every check, with the rule-set version used.
- Forest evidence (free, recorded on Starter). Each plot's forest cover in 2020 and tree cover loss since, in the report your buyer receives.
- Documents and declarations (Starter). Keep land titles, permits and certificates with expiry dates next to the plots they cover.
- When a buyer sends you a supplier link, you need no account and no plan: upload your file, answer their declaration and attach documents there.
