Summary

The EUDR Guide Editorial Team is reached at editorial@eudrguide.com for corrections, official sources and questions about a page of this guide. EUDR Guide is an independent reference on the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 as amended, and is not the European Commission or a competent authority.

The Regulation is amended by Regulations (EU) 2024/3234 and 2025/2650 and Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/2102. Official requests go to the routes listed below, and a rule question may already be answered in the guide to the EU Deforestation Regulation.

How Do You Contact the EUDR Guide Editorial Team?

Write to editorial@eudrguide.com and name the page, the statement and what you want checked or added. Email is the only channel.

Table 1. What to send to the editorial team

Reason for writing What to include
A factual error The page URL, the statement, and the primary source (instrument, article, date)
A new or changed official source The instrument or notice, its issuer, its date and the official link (EUR-Lex, the Commission, a national gazette or a competent authority)
A question about a page The page URL and the question; no advice on an individual case is given
Anything else editorial The page URL, if there is one

Compliance support and supplier requests use the form on the relevant guide page.

How Do You Request a Correction?

A correction request is strongest when it names the primary source: the article of Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 in its consolidated version, the Commission guidance (Guidance C/2026/3896) or FAQ Version 5 (April 2026), both non-binding, or the national gazette entry.

A confirmed error is corrected on the page with a dated correction, and each page shows the date it was last checked. A request does not guarantee a change or an answer, and the editorial policy on corrections sets out how a dated correction is shown.

Which EUDR Questions Should Go to the Commission or a Competent Authority?

EUDR Guide explains the rules but has no official role: it cannot register an account, file or correct a due diligence statement, carry out a check or receive a complaint. The Commission establishes and maintains the EUDR Information System (Article 33(1) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1115), and Article 18(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/3084 makes it free of charge. The Commission publishes the list of competent authorities on its website (Article 14(3)); the version read on 24 October 2026 is marked as updated on 12 October 2026.

Table 2. Where EUDR requests go that EUDR Guide cannot handle

Request Where it goes Basis
Registering, filing, amending or withdrawing a statement The EUDR Information System, established and maintained by the Commission and free of charge Article 33(1) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1115; Article 18(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/3084
Technical questions on the system's API The Commission mailbox SANTE-TRACES@ec.europa.eu, subject starting "EUDR API" Operator API documentation
Checks, penalties and national rules The competent authority of the Member State, listed publicly by the Commission (EUDR enforcement and competent authorities) Article 14(1) and 14(3)
A suspected breach by an operator, downstream operator or trader A substantiated concern to the competent authority, which informs the submitter of the follow-up within 30 days of receipt unless national law states otherwise (see substantiated concerns under the EUDR) Article 31(1) and 31(3); Article 31 applies from 30 December 2026 (Article 38(2))
Advice on an individual case Not provided; responsibility stays with the operator Article 4(3) and 6(1)

Can EUDR Guide Advise on an Individual Case?

No: EUDR Guide explains what the EUDR and the Commission guidance require and the tests they set; it does not decide whether a rule applies to a specific company, product or shipment. Responsibility stays with the operator (Articles 4(3) and 6(1) of Regulation (EU) 2023/1115), and the Commission may issue guidelines (Article 15(5), as amended by Regulation (EU) 2025/2650).

Is EUDR Guide Independent of the Companies That Contact It?

Yes: a message from a company never buys a mention, a ranking or a change to a page, and no company is named as a partner. It has no affiliation with the Commission, any competent authority or any certification scheme. The site earns money by matching operators, traders and non-EU suppliers with independent providers and suppliers and through supplier enquiries; the EUDR makes none of these services mandatory. The page About EUDR Guide names the publisher and the funding.

Every fact on this site is checked against EUR-Lex and Commission sources; see our methodology and fact-checking.

This guide explains the rules; it is not legal advice for an individual case.

How Does Contacting EUDR Guide Connect to Its Methodology and Privacy Policy?

Two pages complete this one: the methodology for how reported errors are checked, and the privacy policy for how messages are handled.

How Is a Reported Error Fact-Checked?

A reported error is checked against the primary source, not against other guides. Anything unverified is not stated, and the fact-checking method explains the check dates and labels.

What Does the Privacy Policy Say About Your Message?

How the address and the content of a message are stored and for how long is set out in the privacy policy. Read the privacy policy before you send personal data.
