Commodity guide
Soy and the EUDR
Soy and specified soy-derived products remain covered. Soybeans for sowing were removed from Annex I in the 2026 update.
Scope snapshot
What to check
Relevant code groups: 1201 and selected soy derivatives; sowing seeds excluded. This is a screening summary, not a complete legal enumeration.
Recommended workflow
- Identify the exact product and current CN code.
- Confirm whether Annex I lists the code directly or with an “ex” limitation.
- Check whether the 2026 scope update removed, narrowed or newly added the product.
- Identify country of production and operator/trader role.
- Collect required geolocation, legality and traceability evidence.
Why “ex” matters
When Annex I uses “ex”, only part of the customs heading is covered. The result can depend on the relevant commodity, species, material composition or how the product was produced. Do not treat the whole heading as automatically in scope.
