As the importer, you sign the DDS and carry the legal risk. Your supplier in Asia, Africa or the Americas holds the plot data, the legality evidence and the traceability records — but can you trust what arrives in their questionnaire?
Most EU importers have sent their suppliers an EUDR questionnaire by now. Most questionnaires come back "fully compliant". Yet when we audit these same suppliers on the ground, the typical findings are: coordinates in the wrong datum, plot lists that cannot produce the claimed volumes, legality documents that are photocopies of photocopies, and traceability that stops at the first trader. The questionnaire is not verification — it is a wish.
Under Articles 9–12, your due diligence must be risk-based and documented. Accepting supplier self-declarations without verification is exactly what Article 10 risk assessment is supposed to prevent. Competent authorities will ask how you verified — "the supplier said so" is not an answer.
| Check | What we verify |
|---|---|
| Coordinate integrity | Datum correctness (WGS-84 vs GCJ-02/BD-09/grid projections), polygon vs point rules for >4 ha plots, plausibility against satellite imagery |
| Volume reconciliation | Do the declared plots have the carrying capacity for the volumes shipped? Plots vs production vs export quantities must reconcile |
| Legality documentation | Original vs copy chain, harvesting rights, environmental permits, labour law compliance in the country of production |
| Traceability depth | Can the chain be walked backwards through traders to plots — with names, addresses and roles? |
| System reality | Does the supplier actually run a due diligence system (SOPs, records, training) or just fill in forms when customers ask? |
We are based in China and have worked with Asian wood, furniture and agricultural supply chains since 2013 (EUTR era). We audit your suppliers in their language, in their context, and give you an evidence-based readiness verdict per supplier:
| Service | Deliverable |
|---|---|
| Supplier readiness assessment | Per-supplier scorecard: data quality, legality file, traceability depth, verified by document review and remote/on-site checks |
| Coordinate & data audit | Datum verification, polygon checks, volume reconciliation — flagged errors corrected with the supplier |
| Questionnaire upgrade | EUDR supplier questionnaire engineered so answers are verifiable, not aspirational |
| Supplier development | We train your suppliers' staff (English/Chinese) to build their due diligence system — raising your whole chain instead of dropping suppliers |
| DDS data packages | Customs-ready data bundles per consignment: coordinates, species names, legality evidence, reconciliation |
