Turn Annex I into a SKU-level scope inventory you can operate and defend.
Focus: relevant commodities and derived products in Annex I, and how to map them to your catalog.

EUDR scope starts and ends with Annex I. That sounds simple until you face real catalogs: composite products, blends, contract manufacturing, repacked goods, and multi-origin inputs. The goal is to build a repeatable mapping method that produces a defensible SKU -> Annex I table, stays current with catalog changes, and feeds your due diligence statement workflow.
EUDR applies to the relevant commodities and the derived products listed in Annex I. Your first task is to interpret Annex I into something your systems can use.
Do not rely on memory or ad hoc judgment. Build an explicit mapping policy.

Your mapping table is the backbone of applicability and due diligence workflows. Without it, you can't consistently decide scope, role, or evidence requirements.
Make it owned, versioned, and reviewable.
Composite goods and multi-origin blends are where scope and risk meet. Even if you can map scope, you must also control circumvention and mixing risks to support due diligence decisions.
Define a rule: when any Annex I relevant commodity is present, what does your program require?
Scope mapping is only useful if it feeds the due diligence statement workflow. Build the handoff so that procurement and operations can execute it.
The goal: for any shipment, you can answer 'is it in scope', 'who is responsible', and 'what evidence is required'.
