# Anti-deforestation legislation for EU exports - myNZTE

> New Zealand's myNZTE guidance explains that exporters of beef, cattle hides, coffee, cocoa, rubber, soya, palm oil and wood products to the EU must help importers provide a statement that the land was not recently deforested. The obligation falls mainly on the importer placing goods on the EU market, and exporters must supply geolocation data.
