EUDR Timber Supply Chain Compliance Checklist — Twi

Nsɛm-nhwɛso yi ma timber (dua) adwumayɛfoɔ ne adwadifoɔ framework nsɛm 27 a wɔde bɛhwɛ sɛ wɔasiesie wɔn ho ama EUDR. Ɛka supply chain nyinaa ho efi forest concession anaa plantation de kɔ processing ne export, a ɛhwɛ species identification, harvest-level geolocation, ne nsonsonoe a ɛwɔ selective logging ne deforestation (kwaeɛ sɛeɛ) ntam a ɛyɛ timber compliance no fapem.

Checklist yi yɛ foforɔ efi EUDR timber legality verification template no a ɛhwɛ legal production requirement nkutoo. Checklist yi hwɛ full due diligence obligation nyinaa a deforestation-free verification, geolocation, risk assessment, ne traceability ka ho.

Sɛ woyɔ checklist yi nyinaa wie no, ɛnyɛ compliance. EUDR hwehwɛ sɛ operators yɛ due diligence na wɔde DDS a evidence support no to hɔ.

EUDR timber compliance obligation ne sɛn?

Regulation 2023/1115 de bar sɛ commodities a ɛnyɛ deforestation-free anaa a wɔanyɛ no legally no, wɔmfa nto EU market so. Wood ne wood products (HS codes 4403-4421) wɔ commodity groups 7 mu.

Timber supply chain no wɔ tiers 3-4: forest concession anaa plantation kɔ sawmill, sawmill kɔ secondary processing, processor kɔ exporter, exporter kɔ EU importer. Nsonsonoe titiriw ne selective logging — dua biara a wɔtwa wɔ kwaeɛ a egyina hɔ mu — ne deforestation, a FAO definition kyerɛ sɛ forest no nsesa kɔ non-forest land use. Selective logging tumi yɛ deforestation-free; clear-cutting ama replanting ebia ɛnyɛ. FLEGT licences ka legality nkutoo ho — ɛnhwɛ deforestation-free status mu na ɛntumi mmfa EUDR due diligence ananmu.

Nsɛm a checklist yi ka ho

Sourcing ne geolocation (Articles 9(1)(a), 9(1)(d), 9(1)(e))

• Harvest areas nyinaa wɔ geolocation wɔ WGS84 (EPSG:4326) ne decimal places 6
• Geolocation wɔ harvest compartment level — ɛnyɛ concession boundary nkutoo; polygon boundaries ama area a wɔtwitwaa no pɔtee
• Geolocation data no wɔ collection timestamp, device metadata, ne collector identity mu
• Harvest area biara wɔde aka concession holder, plantation owner, anaa community forest manager ho ne tenure documentation
• Scientific species name wɔ mu ama timber product biara (Article 9(1)(a)) — trade names nkutoo nsua
• CITES-listed species wɔ identification mu na CITES permits wɔ file mu
• Harvest date wɔ mu ama December 31, 2020 cutoff verification

Risk assessment (Article 10)

• Country risk classification wɔ mu ama origin biara
• Deforestation screening a ɛde satellite imagery a ɛgyina December 31, 2020 baseline so — a ɛkyerɛ nsonsonoe a ɛwɔ selective logging ne land-use conversion ntam
• Independent deforestation alert systems (sɛ Global Forest Watch, JRC Tropical Moist Forest monitoring) wɔ mu
• Risk assessment methodology wɔ mu
• Sɛ concerns wɔ hɔ a: risk mitigation measures wɔ mu (Article 10(2))
• Origin-specific risks wɔ mu — conflict timber, illegal logging prevalence, ne governance capacity

Legality verification (Article 9(1)(e))

• Ɔman a ɛyɛ production no mu laws a ɛfa ho wɔ mu (forestry laws, concession regulations, environmental protections, labour laws, tax obligations, indigenous ne community rights a FPIC ka ho)
• Legal compliance evidence wɔ hɔ ama origin biara
• Concession licence anaa plantation permit yɛ valid, ne harvest volumes wɔ licensed limits mu
• Sɛ ɛfa a: FLEGT licence wɔ file mu, ne acknowledgement sɛ ɛka legality nkutoo ho
• CITES species no: export ne import permits yɛ valid na ɛne harvest documentation hyia

Processing ne traceability (Articles 4, 9)

• Sawmill intake wɔ mu — log anaa batch biara wɔde aka harvest compartment ne concession of origin pɔtee ho
• Species verification wɔ mu wɔ processing — visual anaa laboratory identification
• Volume conversion wɔ mu wɔ processing stage biara (log kɔ sawn timber, sawn kɔ panel anaa finished product) ne yield factors
• Batch identifiers wɔ hɔ efi harvest de kɔ processing ne export ne traceability links
• Wɔmfa mass balance ndi dwuma — physical segregation anaa identity preservation na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ

Documentation ne filing (Articles 4, 9, 12)

• DDS ne fields a ɛhia nyinaa wɔ mu
• Supporting evidence nyinaa wɔ archive mu ama 5-year retention period
• Evidence chain yɛ auditable efi mfiase kɔsi awiei
• DDS reference number wɔ hɔ

Sɛnea wɔde checklist yi di dwuma

Step 1 — Yɛ wo supply chain map. Timber no, fi concession harvesting ne plantation sourcing nsonsonoe so — evidence requirements yɛ foforɔ kɛse.

Step 2 — Fa section biara yɛ adwuma.

Step 3 — Si gaps mu. Fa species identification ne harvest-compartment geolocation di kan, efisɛ eyi wɔrentumi nyɛ bio sɛ timber afi kwaeɛ no mu.

Step 4 — Hwɛ mu biara quarter.

Fa ma obi nsa. Wo compliance officer anaa sustainability manager na ɔwɔ checklist yi na ne nsa ka sɛ ɛyɛ complete. Procurement ne forestry teams de harvest-level evidence ba; export manager hwɛ package a wɔahyehyɛ no mu ansa na wɔde DDS ato hɔ.

Yɛ review schedule. Hwɛ species identification evidence mu wɔ processing stage biara a species substitution bɛtumi aba — sawmill intake, secondary processing, ne export packaging.

FLEGT licence tumi fa EUDR due diligence ananmu?

Dabi. FLEGT licences verify legal production nanso ɛnhwɛ deforestation-free requirement mu. FLEGT licence tumi support legality component nanso ɛntumi mmfa geolocation, deforestation screening, anaa DDS filing ananmu.

EUDR kyerɛ nsonsonoe a ɛwɔ selective logging ne deforestation ntam sɛn?

EUDR de FAO definition di dwuma: forest nsesa kɔ agricultural anaa non-forest land use. Selective logging — dua biara twa nanso kwaeɛ no da so wɔ hɔ — ɛnyɛ deforestation. Nanso operators sɛ sɛ wɔkyerɛ sɛ area a wɔtwitwaa no da so yɛ kwaeɛ. Clear-cutting, sɛ wɔsan dua bio mpo a, tumi yɛ deforestation sɛ land use nsesa.
