Relevant commodity
One of the seven commodities named by Regulation (EU) 2023/1115: cattle, cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soya and wood — products in scope only when listed in Annex I.
What it means
EUDR does not cover every agricultural product. It names seven relevant commodities. Derived products are in scope only when they appear as relevant products in Annex I.
In the regulation
Article 2 and Annex I list the commodities and CN-coded relevant products. Proposed product-scope changes (for example the May 2026 draft delegated act discussed on this site) are not law until adopted and in force — plan against the consolidated regulation, and track drafts without restructuring on a consultation alone.
How ERWAY treats it
Commodity guides and the scope explorer stay tied to Annex I as in force. Where a draft change is mentioned, the guides flag scrutiny status rather than treating it as settled.
