Reg. (EU) 2023/1115 · rubber and rubber products including tyres in scope · large and medium operators from 30 Dec 2026 · cut-off 31 Dec 2020.
Natural rubber is an EUDR commodity, and the scope reaches finished products — tyres included. Roughly 85% of the world's natural rubber comes from smallholders, collected through dealers who blend plots at the first transaction. From 30 December 2026 (large and medium operators), every rubber product placed on the EU market needs a due-diligence statement tracing back to deforestation-free plots. The chain that must carry the proof is the most fragmented in any covered commodity.
Coordinates for every plot that produced the latex or cup lump in a consignment — through dealer aggregation, processing and compounding.
Tyres, tubes, belts and other rubber goods carry the obligation into the EU — the importer of the tyre answers for the plantation plot.
A DDS in the EU information system per consignment, with the geolocation and legality evidence assembled before the product ships.
Downstream operators can reference upstream DDS numbers but retain responsibility for verifying due diligence was properly done — reliance is not delegation.
Large and medium operators come into scope on 30 December 2026; micro and small enterprises follow on 30 June 2027. Tyre makers are moving early because a tyre shipped in 2027 contains rubber tapped months before.
Take a current SKU and try to name the plots behind its natural rubber. The distance between what you can prove and plot-level polygons is the project.
Plot identity dies at the first dealer blend. Capture identity at the farm-gate transaction and the rest of the chain can carry it.
Weekly consignments need statements assembled from live custody data, not quarterly spreadsheet hunts.
Aeroz binds identity to physical rubber at the farm-gate or collection transaction and appends every custody change to an EPCIS 2.0 log, plot geolocation attached at origin. By the time the consignment reaches a compounder, the DDS evidence exists as structured data — and the same log serves customer audits and CSDDD reporting.
Yes — natural rubber and listed rubber products including tyres are in scope. The operator placing the tyre on the EU market must file or reference due diligence tracing to producing plots.
By capturing identity at the first transaction — farm gate or collection point — with plot coordinates attached, and preserving it through dealer aggregation as data rather than paperwork.
No — EUDR covers natural rubber. Blended products carry the obligation for their natural-rubber content, which still requires knowing which molecules came from where.
Penalties include fines of at least 4% of EU-wide turnover, confiscation of products and revenues, and exclusion from public procurement — plus consignments held at the border.
A fixed-fee Aeroz audit maps your products against eudr for rubber requirements and returns a written readiness assessment, a data-mapping review, and a scoped pilot plan with cost and timeline.
