What's included

An operational playbook to comply, not a press summary

Everything the importer, roaster, manufacturer or trader needs to reach the application dates with an inspection-proof file.

The 3 pillars, step by step

Deforestation-free (cut-off 31 Dec 2020), legality of origin (8 areas) and the Due Diligence Statement in TRACES, with the reference number essential at customs.

Due diligence in 3 phases

Information gathering (art. 9), risk assessment (art. 10) and mitigation (art. 11), with plot geolocation and the 4-hectare threshold explained in detail.

Risk simulator and DDS tree

A GREEN / AMBER / NO-GO matrix that crosses the country-of-origin risk with your real traceability, plus the operator / trader / downstream decision tree.

Country benchmarking

Which coffee and cocoa origins fall into low, standard or high risk (Implementing Reg. 2025/1093), and which due diligence regime applies to each.

Multi-country ES · DE · FR · IT

Competent authority, customs and penalty regime in Spain, Germany, France and Italy, with the comparative table of all four.

Penalties and timeline

The art. 25 regime (fine of at least 4% of EU turnover, confiscation, exclusion) and the definitive dates: 30 Dec 2026 and 30 Jun 2027.

Cost and calculator

What it really costs to comply, separating the supply-chain cost from the operator's incremental cost, with an exposure vs cost calculator by company profile.

Checklists and templates

Checklist before contracting an origin and before clearing customs, plus supplier-map, geolocation-sheet and risk-matrix templates ready to use.
