To help companies understand the practical application of the requirements of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), Cepi has developed a sectoral guidance on EUDR implementation. The guidance, developed with Cepi members, aims to present the common understanding of the pulp and paper industry of the obligations of the EUDR. The objective of the document, which has no legal value, is to suggests robust yet efficient approaches to implement EUDR across the value chain.

ERRATA CORRIGE
This version corrects a previous guidance which contained a typo on the definition of operators and traders on p.5.
The corrected version stands as such:
“For the pulp and paper sector, it’s important to note that Annex I of the EUDR only lists the first two digits of HS codes for pulp and paper products of Combined Nomenclature Chapters 47, 48, and 49. This mean that a company transforming mechanical pulp (code 4701) into newsprint paper (code 4801) is considered an operator, because the first two digits of the code change. A company transforming kraftliner (code 4804) to produce corrugated board (code 4808) would not be considered an operator but a trader, because the first two digits remain the same.”
