As an FSC‑certified wooden decorations supplier with EUDR‑compliant production capabilities, Wenzhou Tianqi is here to help you navigate the new rules with confidence. With over 20 years of experience, full traceability from forest to finished product, and a robust EUDR‑ready documentation system, we can efficiently support your Due Diligence Declaration (DDS) submission.

1. Key EUDR Essentials

  • Effective dates: 30 December 2025 (medium & large enterprises); 30 June 2026 (micro & small).

  • Scope: Wood and wood‑derived products (including decorations) must comply.

  • Mandatory requirements:

    • Wood must not come from land deforested after 31 December 2020.

    • Harvesting must comply with local laws of the country of origin.

    • A DDS must be submitted to the EU system before customs clearance – each batch requires a separate DDS.

2. What Your EUDR‑Compliant Supplier Should Provide

Category Specific Documents
Product information HS code, product name, Latin wood species, net wood weight
Traceability Country of harvest, geolocation coordinates (plot level), harvest date (after 31 Dec 2020), full chain (forest owner → sawmill → manufacturer → exporter)
Legality evidence Forest ownership certificate, harvesting permit, environmental approvals, tax receipts, certificate of origin
FSC (optional but strong evidence) FSC certificate number, Chain of Custody (CoC) documentation, FSC claim on invoices
DDS support Structured data package, fast document turnaround

3. How to Prepare Your Supply Chain

  1. Map traceability – verify that your wood can be traced back to specific forest plots; switch suppliers if not.

  2. Prioritise certified suppliers – FSC certification reduces compliance risk.

  3. Keep records – all due diligence documents must be retained for at least 5 years.

  4. Communicate early – request geolocation and other data well before shipment to avoid last‑minute delays.

4. Quick FAQs

  • Does each batch need a separate DDS? Yes.

  • Is FSC mandatory? No, but EU importers strongly prefer it.

  • Can I clear customs without geolocation data? No – it is non‑negotiable.

  • Penalties for non‑compliance? Goods may be denied entry, fines, and reputational damage.
