Why Brazil matters for EUDR
Brazil is a major origin for several EUDR commodities, including soy, cattle, coffee and wood. Because the country is currently standard risk, simplified due diligence based on low-risk benchmarking is not the default pathway.
What evidence is especially important?
- Production-plot geolocation.
- Evidence linking farms, ranches or forests to the relevant batch.
- Legality information under applicable Brazilian law.
- Deforestation-free evidence for the relevant production area.
- Supplier-chain records through processors and exporters.
For cattle-related products, remember that geolocation can involve establishments where cattle were kept. For soy, coffee and wood, production-plot traceability is central.
Key point: Country risk affects the due-diligence pathway. It does not decide whether a product is in scope. Product scope still depends on the current Annex I CN code.
Recommended workflow
- Confirm the exact product and CN/HS code.
- Identify the relevant commodity and actual country of production.
- Collect production-location and supplier evidence.
- Validate geolocation and batch linkage.
- Apply the appropriate due-diligence pathway for the current country benchmark.
- Keep records aligned for the applicable declaration workflow.
