EUDR Compliance Handbooks: Navigating EUDR Due Diligence Obligations

The International Trade Centre (ITC) has developed five EUDR Compliance Handbooks. They’re free to download through the link provided. The handbooks provide insights into the intricate landscape of EUDR implementation, which becomes obligatory from 30 December 2024. They are written for businesses engaged in EUDR-affected value chains, enabling a methodical understanding of steps towards compliance.

Through concrete business scenarios, the handbooks outline the regulation’s fundamental principles and responsibilities. This helps demystify core concepts, obligations, scope, and implementation processes associated with the regulation.

Small businesses will learn how to assess their current standing, identify areas for improvement, and clarify the extent of their responsibilities, liabilities, and potential risks. The latest manual, number 6, is a step-by-step guide.
