EUDR geolocation evidence and Annex I commodity lookup

The lookup should first decide whether the item is a relevant commodity or relevant product listed in Annex I. The official source material identifies the relevant commodity families as cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soya, and wood, plus derived products listed in the Annex.

Do not treat a broad label such as "wood", "coffee", or "rubber component" as enough. The internal record should connect the commercial product, SKU, purchase order, lot, shipment, or consignment identifier to the Annex I product family that triggered EUDR review. Where the available official source extract does not provide a full code table, the public page should not invent one.

The evidence file should show who supplied the product, who receives it downstream, and which due diligence statement reference number or simplified-declaration identifier travels with the product where the supplier is an operator. This makes the lookup useful for operators, downstream operators, and traders rather than only for sustainability reporting.

Use commercial records as join keys: supplier account, purchase order, lot, batch, shipment, consignment, warehouse receipt, customer order, and export file. These operational identifiers are not a substitute for EUDR due diligence, but they prevent the geolocation file, supplier file, and due diligence statement log from drifting apart.

For operators, geolocation evidence belongs in the Article 9 information and evidence file. The official source material supports geolocation of plots of land or establishments, documentation demonstrating deforestation-free and legal production, and availability of that information to competent authorities on request.

Avoid unsupported precision rules on this page. The available official source extract supports the need for geolocation evidence, but it does not provide a public coordinate-format table for this artifact. Keep the record focused on provenance, coverage, supplier attestation, review status, and how the location evidence connects to the product lot or transaction.

The lookup is not complete when coordinates or supplier documents are collected. EUDR due diligence includes information collection, risk assessment, and risk mitigation. Operators should use the linked product, supplier, country or part-of-country risk context, geolocation evidence, and legality documentation to decide whether there is no or only negligible risk before placing on the market or exporting.

If risk is not negligible, the official source material supports risk mitigation before placing on the market or exporting. That means the evidence file should keep the mitigation action, reviewer, outcome, and product or transaction identifiers together.

Operators must exercise due diligence before placing relevant products on the market or exporting them, and the official source material states they must not do so without prior submission of a due diligence statement. If due diligence concludes compliance with no or negligible risk, the due diligence statement is made available through the Article 33 information system.

The commodity lookup should therefore be able to reconstruct the path from product and supplier records to geolocation evidence, risk assessment, mitigation if any, and due diligence statement reference numbers. Downstream operators and traders also need the relevant supply-chain information and reference numbers or identifiers so the evidence can travel further down the supply chain.
