  • Does coconut charcoal fall within the scope of the EUDR, or is it exempt?
  • What are the exact obligations for non-SME traders compared to first importers or exporters?
  • CanI submit a single DDS for all annual imports, or does each shipment require its own?
  • Is GPS data from smallholder farms considered personal data under the GDPR?
  • If my supplier only gives me a “clean” plot, how can I verify it’s not fraudulently reported land?
  • How are Competent Authorities planning to check hard-to-trace items like wooden stirrers?
  • Can downstream actors see geolocation data from upstream DDS submissions?
  • Will the EU still classify countries by risk level, or will all be treated as standard risk?
