Tip of the month

Mill EUDR risk ratings

Did you know? Palmoil.io Mill EUDR risk ratings now use a two-part method to evaluate risk. First, we rate mills according eTTP1 and eTTP2 plots that have strong traceability links to the mill and then second, we also rate them by other plots within 25 km. This allows us to monitor both for traceability and proximity risks near to mills. This will help companies evaluate both immediate EUDR risks as well as potential risks suc as High risk plots in close proximity but without known traceability relationships.

Understanding the EUDR

The latest on the EUDR DDS system

EU Operators will submit their Due Diligence Statements (DDS) through the EU DDS Information System being built in TRACES NT, see https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/IMSOC/tracesnt-help/Content/en/index.html

There are two primary components to submitting a DDS.
- The product type and volume
- The production place (the plots) imported from GeoJSON format

What is next?
Based on the latest published timeline, The EC will publish training videos in August, and distribute user guides in September.

Can I start today?

Operators that don’t have accounts in TRACES NT can start the process now, see https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/IMSOC/tracesnt-help/Content/en/index.html

“Operators that import or export relevant commodities and relevant products need to provide their Economic Operators Registration and Identification (EORI) number when registering in TRACES NT. Domestic operators/traders, who do not have an EORI number may register through one of the other identifiers supported by TRACES such as VAT number, National Company Number or Taxpayer Identification Number.”
