EUDR covers seven commodities – cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soya and wood – plus the derived products listed by CN code in Annex I of Regulation (EU) 2023/1115. The commodity alone never decides scope; only products whose 8-digit CN code appears in Annex I are in scope.

The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), Regulation (EU) 2023/1115, has covered the same seven commodities since it entered into force on 29 June 2023: cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soya and wood. What changes over time is the derived-product list, defined exhaustively by 8-digit Combined Nomenclature (CN) codes in Annex I. The table below maps each commodity to example products currently in scope.

Commodity Example derived products in scope
Cattle Live cattle, beef and edible offal (CN 0102, 0201, 0202, 0206) and some prepared beef (CN 1602 50). Hides and leather are in scope now, with a pending act set to remove them.
Cocoa Beans, paste, butter, powder and chocolate containing cocoa (CN 1801 to 1806).
Coffee Green, roasted, ground and decaffeinated coffee plus husks (CN 0901). Instant coffee (CN 2101) is set to join from 30 December 2027 under a pending act.
Oil palm Palm nuts, palm oil, palm kernel oil, oilcake, glycerol and some fatty acids (CN 1207 to 3823).
Rubber Natural rubber and goods such as tyres, hoses, belts and gloves (CN 4001 to 4017). Synthetic rubber stays out.
Soya Soybeans, soy flour, soybean oil and oilcake (CN 1201 to 2304). Tofu and soy sauce fall outside.
Wood Fuel wood, sawnwood, panels, plywood, pulp, paper and wooden furniture (CN chapters 44, 47, 48 and headings 9401, 9403 and 9406).

Due-diligence duties apply from 30 December 2026 for large and medium operators and all traders, and from 30 June 2027 for micro and small enterprises.

How scope is decided, and what is changing

A product counts only when its 8-digit CN code appears in Annex I, so chocolate-filled biscuits or soy sauce stay outside even though they contain a listed commodity. Printed products left Annex I in December 2025, and a delegated act adopted on 13 July 2026 (not yet in force) removes cattle leather, re-treaded tyres, vulcanised-rubber articles and conveyor belts, while adding instant coffee and certain palm derivatives from 30 December 2027. GreenSutra’s consultants map CN codes and due-diligence duties through EUDR Solutions, and the EUDR guide walks through the Due Diligence Statement step by step.
