EUDR Issues — A Conversation with Claire Hansen

This week, I sat down with my colleague, L. Claire Hansen, a Legal Intern here at B&C and Regulatory Analyst for The Acta Group (Acta®), B&C's consulting affiliate, to discuss the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR). With its fast-approaching December 31, 2025, effective date, U.S. product exporters to the European Market whose goods contain seven commodities -- cocoa, coffee, cattle, palm oil, soy, wood, and rubber, and those products made from them listed in Annex 1 -- need to be keenly aware of this regulation and prepare to comply with it. I discuss with Claire the basic requirements of the regulation, who is in scope, the costs of non-compliance, and how best to prepare for the effective date.
