Every change so far, with its date and source, is in what changed in the EUDR.

As of 6 November 2026: The rules apply from 30 December 2026. Qualifying micro and small operators, including natural persons, established as such by 31 December 2024 have until 30 June 2027, except for EUTR-listed products. Traders and downstream operators follow the December 2026 date. These are the dates set by Regulation (EU) 2023/1115, as amended by Regulation (EU) 2025/2650.

Other rules that changed with the new dates
  • Downstream operators and traders no longer file a due diligence statement. They keep supplier and customer details, and larger ones register.
  • Soluble coffee, some palm oil derivatives and frozen cattle tongues join the products list from 30 December 2027 (Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/2102).

Which sources do we check?

A script reads these official pages every morning and flags any change in their text. A person on our team reads every change before this page or an alert changes. Nothing here is rewritten automatically.

This page is information, not legal advice. We don’t assess whether your company complies, and we don’t file statements for you. Check the official text before you act.

Limits

  • It is guidance, not legal advice: it does not judge whether your company complies or file anything for you.
  • A change on an official page is only flagged; the dates on the page change only after a person on our team reads the official text.
  • It watches ten official EU sources (EUR-Lex, the Parliament legislative observatory, the Commission, the Council and the Parliament press office), not national authorities or the press.

Based on the official EU texts. See our EUDR sources, with the version we follow and the day we last checked each one.

Has the EUDR been delayed again?

Not as of 6 November 2026. The last delay was Regulation (EU) 2025/2650. The rules apply from 30 December 2026. Qualifying micro and small operators, including natural persons, established as such by 31 December 2024 have until 30 June 2027, except for EUTR-listed products. Traders and downstream operators follow the December 2026 date.

When does the EUDR apply to small companies?

From 30 June 2027 for micro and small operators established as such by 31 December 2024, except for products already covered by the EU Timber Regulation, which follow 30 December 2026. Traders and downstream operators follow 30 December 2026 whatever their size. Micro and small primary operators in low-risk countries file a one-off simplified declaration instead of due diligence statements, unless all the information it asks for is already in an EU or national database (Article 4a(4)).
