Relevant commodities and products (EUDR)
Under the EUDR, relevant commodities are cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soya and wood. Relevant products are the products listed in Annex I, identified by Harmonised System (HS) or Combined Nomenclature codes, that contain, have been fed with or have been made using those commodities.
Also known as: Annex I · HS codes · in-scope products · EUDR scope
Why does it matter?
Scope under the EUDR is not defined by commodity alone. A product is in scope when its customs code appears in Annex I. Printed products (ex chapter 49) were removed by Regulation (EU) 2025/2650, and the product list can be amended by delegated act under Article 34(1).
How does it work?
The Harmonised System (HS), maintained by the World Customs Organization, classifies traded goods with six-digit codes; the EU’s Combined Nomenclature extends them. Annex I lists, for each commodity, the codes in scope, for example cocoa beans, paste, butter, powder and chocolate, or green and roasted coffee.
The due diligence statement includes the HS code, description and quantity, expressed in net mass and, where applicable, in a supplementary unit.
Common pitfalls
- Assuming every product containing a relevant commodity is covered. Composite products are covered only if their code is listed, and the Commission’s guidance says due diligence focuses on the relevant commodity deemed relevant.
- Using outdated scope lists. Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/2102 changed coverage for several products in September 2026.
- Misclassifying products at customs, which leads to missing or unnecessary statements.

Frequently asked questions
Is soluble coffee covered by the EUDR?
Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/2102, published on 17 September 2026 and in force since 18 September 2026, revised Annex I. It removed items such as cattle hides and leather and retreaded tyres, and adds soluble coffee, certain palm oil derivatives and frozen cattle tongues from 30 December 2027. Check the latest official text.
Why do HS codes matter?
Scope is defined product by product through the codes in Annex I, and the due diligence statement must state the HS code. A product made from cocoa is only in scope if its code is listed.
