EU Deforestation-Free Products Regulation, effective from December 30

As of December 30, 2024, the EU Deforestation-Free Products Regulation will introduce new regulatory requirements.

The Regulation aims to prevent the consumption of products within the EU from contributing to global deforestation and forest degradation, and will affect cattle, cocoa, coffee, palm oil, rubber, soya and wood products. This includes products such as books, printer paper, wooden furniture, chocolate and coffee beans. To confirm if your products are affected, review the table in Annex I to the Regulation.

You may seek external legal advice to determine if your products are affected by this new regulation and to assess your obligations. We may request proof that your product listings comply with this regulation.
