# What I learned sending EUDR due diligence statements to TRACES over SOAP

> From December 30, 2026, large and medium companies placing coffee, cocoa, timber, soy, rubber, palm oil or cattle and their derived products on the EU market must file a due diligence statement in the European Commission's TRACES system. Goods do not clear customs without its reference number. Small and micro companies follow on June 30, 2027, except for timber.

## Why it matters

The filing requirement adds administrative steps and cost for importers of EUDR-covered commodities, but it does not directly move commodity prices. Its impact is mainly on compliance timing and logistics for EU-bound shipments.
