Furniture & Wood
Wood is the clearest case of the wrong document: certification is everywhere, and EUDR asks for the one thing certification does not carry — the coordinates of the land itself.
TRADE LANE
Non-EU furniture manufacturer or panel producer selling finished goods or components into EU importers and retailers.
FIRST THING THAT BREAKS
An FSC certificate is sent where EUDR asks for plot geolocation and a deforestation-free test against 31 December 2020.
REGULATIONS THAT REACH YOU
What each of these wants from you.
Your sector is a starting point, not a determination. Which regulations reach a company depends on its products — that is what the platform works out.
Four regulations. One asks where the wood grew, one what is in the glue, one how the product is built, and one about the flat-pack carton.

ON THE GROUND
Four things a furniture maker hits in the first month.
01Certification and geolocation are different objectsA chain-of-custody certificate audits a system; EUDR asks which plot this batch came from.
02The wood passed through three hands before yoursCoordinates have to travel from the forest, and the chain usually breaks at the sawmill.
03Panels carry chemistry the workshop never seesAdhesives and coatings are specified upstream; REACH asks whoever ships the finished article.
04The carton is a regulated product tooFlat-pack packaging has its own limits, its own testing and its own declaration.
