TLDR: The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) applies to large/medium firms starting December 30, 2025, and micro/small firms by June 30, 2026. The European Commission proposed a further 6-month grace period for enforcement and reduced compliance burdens by simplifying due diligence processes, allowing upstream operators to file for entire supply chains. A sub-category for micro/small primary operators from low-risk countries may only require a simple declaration. Amendments will be discussed by the European Parliament and Council.
