What is the EUDR issue for CN 4001?

Natural rubber is a core EUDR commodity. Manufacturers and importers need to trace the relevant rubber back to production and preserve the link through processors and suppliers.

Common evidence gaps

  • Factory location used instead of rubber-production origin.
  • Missing plot geolocation.
  • Mixed rubber batches without complete origin linkage.
  • Supplier declarations unsupported by underlying producer data.
Important: This is a screening page, not a customs-classification ruling. Confirm the exact current Annex I wording and your product classification before relying on the result.

What to do next

  1. Confirm the exact CN / HS code used for your product.
  2. Check whether the Annex I entry is direct or marked “ex”.
  3. Identify country of production of the relevant commodity.
  4. Collect required geolocation and supplier evidence.
  5. Apply the applicable due-diligence workflow before the relevant market activity.
