What Is EUDR and Why It Matters for Importers
The European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) — effective since 2025 — mandates that all wood products placed on the EU market must be proven to be deforestation-free and legally harvested. This impacts plywood importers, distributors, and construction firms across Europe.
Failing to comply can result in confiscated cargo, legal penalties, and reputational damage. Importers are responsible for performing due diligence, documenting their supply chains, and submitting compliance statements before customs clearance.
How to Verify EUDR Compliance in Purchase Orders
- Collect Geo-location Data – Request GPS coordinates of plantation plots for all supplied logs.
- Confirm Legal Harvesting – Verify logging permits, land titles, and harvest licenses from your supplier.
- Conduct Risk Assessment – Evaluate deforestation risk using EUDR country benchmarks and third-party audits.
- Ensure Chain of Custody (CoC) – Require FSC®/PEFC CoC documents linking each supply chain stage.
- Retain Evidence – Store all documents (geo-data, permits, CoC) for 5+ years to prove compliance.
How FOMEX GREENWOOD Builds Traceable Supply Chains
At FOMEX GREENWOOD by FOMEX GLOBAL, we engineer supply chains specifically for EUDR readiness:
- Legally sourced timber: 100% plantation wood (Acacia, Eucalyptus) from FSC®-certified forests.
- Integrated chain of custody: From log debarking to container loading, every batch is digitally tracked.
- Third-party verified: Certified under FSC-CoC, CARB-P2, ISO 9001:2015, and audited for EUDR compliance.
- Dedicated QC teams: Two-step inspections on moisture, thickness, and surface quality before shipment.
- Customer-ready documentation: FSC®, EUDR, COO, CE test reports shipped with each order.
This system enables our buyers to pass EUDR due diligence smoothly and clear EU customs without delays or penalties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need species declarations for EUDR?
Yes. All EUDR submissions must include declared species names (e.g., Acacia, Eucalyptus) and their volumes per shipment.
What plantation documents are required?
Buyers must collect geo-coordinates, land titles, logging permits, and harvest licenses for each supply lot, typically provided by the exporter.
How is risk level assessed under EUDR?
The EU provides a benchmarking system classifying countries into low, standard, or high risk. Vietnam is currently standard risk, requiring full due diligence for all shipments.
