Timber sold into the EU must be shown deforestation-free
Free EUDR check for timber
Whether your timber comes from Brazil, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire or Southeast Asia, show a plot on the map, drop a GPS point, or upload a KML/GeoJSON. In seconds you'll see whether the land shows deforestation since 2020 — and whether the location is in the shape the EU expects. No signup. No GIS skills needed.
The EU Deforestation Regulation means that from 30 December 2026, wood sold into Europe has to be proven to come from land that wasn't cleared of forest after 31 December 2020 — and the proof starts with where the plot is. That's why plot coordinates are now part of every EU filing. This page checks that a plot passes, before it goes in. Try it with a plot →
What EUDR asks for
A location for the plot — and a clean deforestation check
Under the EUDR, the company that first sells wood into the EU has to record where each harvest plot is and show the land wasn't deforested after 2020. That request flows down the chain, so importers are already asking suppliers for plot coordinates. How much detail depends on the plot's size:
Small plot — one point
4 hectares or less can be a single GPS point (WGS-84, at least 6 decimals).
Larger plot — a boundary
Over 4 hectares needs a polygon tracing the plot's outline. The tool draws it for you.
What the free check gives you
A plain answer you can act on — and keep on file
Deforestation screen
Checks the plot against the 2020 cutoff on annual satellite forest-loss data plus near-real-time clearing alerts — the core EUDR question, answered.
Format check
Catches the coordinate mistakes that get filings bounced — wrong precision, swapped lat/long, an unclosed boundary — before you submit.

Three steps
How the timber plot check works
- 1
Find the plot
Tap it on the map, search a place or GPS point, or upload the KML/GeoJSON your supplier sent.
- 2
It checks two things
Deforestation since 2020, and whether the location is in the format the EU expects.

Timber & the EUDR
The EUDR replaced the EUTR — here's what changed
If you've dealt with the old EU Timber Regulation (EUTR), the EUDR now repeals and replaces it for wood. The legality work you already do carries over — a FLEGT licence still counts towards the legality half of due diligence. But the EUDR adds requirements the EUTR never had: the wood must be deforestation-free and not degraded against the 31 December 2020 cutoff, and every consignment must carry the geolocation of the harvest plot. Degradation matters as much as outright clearance here — converting or structurally damaging natural forest after the cutoff can put wood out of scope even where some trees still stand.
Scope is broad. The rule reaches across HS chapters 44, 47 and 48 — sawn timber and logs, pulp, and paper and paperboard — so a packaging or paper buyer is caught the same way a sawmiller is. And the unit that matters is the harvest plot or coupe, not the whole concession: a single forest management unit can hold dozens of coupes, and it's each felling site's coordinates the filing needs, screened against the cutoff. EU importers are already requesting plot data from suppliers well ahead of the 2026 dates, which is why the geolocation ask is landing on exporters now.
This page is the spot check for that. Screen one plot against the same satellite record an EU filing will face — annual forest-loss data plus near-real-time clearing and degradation alerts, on the 2020 cutoff — or format-check a whole file of harvest coordinates before it goes near TRACES. It covers timber from Brazil and the Congo Basin to Côte d'Ivoire and Southeast Asia — run in seconds, for free. Screening the full consignment, generating the DDS-ready GeoJSON and keeping the five-year record is the operator workflow, not the free tool.
When one plot isn't enough
From a free spot check to standing EUDR evidence
The check on this page is free, forever. When you're filing at consignment scale — DDS-ready GeoJSON for TRACES, a five-year audit trail, continuous re-screening — that's the operator workflow behind it. Tell us what you're filing and we'll take it from there.
Common questions
Timber EUDR questions, answered plainly
Does an FSC or PEFC certificate mean I'm covered?
Not on its own. Certification can support your risk assessment, but the EUDR has no certification safe-harbour — the operator must still collect plot coordinates, run the deforestation and legality checks, and file the statement. The legal responsibility stays with the operator.
A point or a boundary for a harvest plot?
Plots over 4 hectares need a polygon boundary; 4 hectares or under can be a single point. Coordinates must be WGS-84 (EPSG:4326) with at least six decimal places. This tool checks both automatically.
When does the EUDR actually apply?
From 30 December 2026 for large and medium operators, and 30 June 2027 for micro and small enterprises (Regulation (EU) 2025/2650). EU buyers are requesting plot data from suppliers well ahead of those dates.
Is a clear result an official compliance approval?
No. It's a screening signal with the sources it used shown in full — not a certification, legal opinion, guarantee, or a signed statement. The legality assessment and your own risk assessment stay separate obligations.

Screening evidence produced by the documented EB TERRA — EUDR method. This is not a certification, legal opinion, guarantee, or a signed DDS. A "clear" result is a machine signal on the listed sources, not a compliance verdict; the legality assessment (Art. 10) and the operator's risk assessment remain separate obligations.
