Brazil is the world's largest coffee producer and exporter. Arabica from Minas Gerais — Sul de Minas, Cerrado Mineiro, Mogiana — and Conillon from Espírito Santo arrive in European ports every week, with Germany (Hamburg), Italy (Trieste) and Belgium (Antwerp) as the three anchor destinations. From 30 December 2026, no Brazilian coffee enters the EU without an EUDR Due Diligence Statement filed in the Commission's TRACES NT information system. Brazil is classified as standard risk under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1093. That means no Brazilian exporter — fazenda, cooperative or trading — qualifies for the simplified declaration regime created by Regulation (EU) 2025/2650, which only applies to micro and small primary operators in low-risk countries. The full Due Diligence Statement under Article 4 and Annex II is required for every single lot. Brazilian exporters already operate under the Código Florestal (Lei 12.651/2012) and hold mandatory CAR registrations — but CAR is not an Annex II file.

Brazil produces roughly one-third of the world's coffee. Minas Gerais alone — Sul de Minas, Cerrado Mineiro, Mogiana — accounts for more Arabica than most entire countries. Espírito Santo leads in Conillon (Brazilian Robusta). São Paulo, Bahía, Paraná and Rondônia complete the map. German importers in Hamburg, Italian roasters in Trieste and Belgian traders in Antwerp are the EU anchors for Brazilian green coffee.
The European Union is not a secondary market for Brazilian coffee — it is one of the two pillars alongside the United States. A Brazilian exporter who cannot produce a valid Due Diligence Statement from 30 December 2026 does not lose a marginal route. They lose access to an entire continent of buyers who have no legal option to import without the DDS.
The Commission's Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1093 of 22 May 2025 classifies Brazil as a standard risk country for EUDR purposes. That means Brazilian exporters are not eligible for the simplified declaration regime created by Regulation (EU) 2025/2650. The full Due Diligence Statement under Article 4 and Annex II is required. The CAR (Cadastro Ambiental Rural) registration that every Brazilian rural property already holds is relevant supporting evidence — but it is not the Annex II file. The EUDR requires a separate, structured document.
When your European buyer says 'I need your EUDR compliance documents', they are not asking for your CAR registration or your Rainforest Alliance certificate. Under Article 4 and Annex II of Regulation (EU) 2023/1115, the specific data fields they need from you, as the supplier of the consignment, are defined by law. Here is what the regulation requires for every single shipment.
Your buyer is expecting all six of those elements inside one structured document submitted to TRACES NT before the shipment crosses the EU border. That document is the Due Diligence Statement. Your CAR number supports item 5 — but it does not cover items 1, 2, 3, 4 or 6. EUDRCheck generates the full dossier, structured exactly under Annex II, with your data, in your browser, in 15 minutes.
Every Brazilian rural property has a CAR (Cadastro Ambiental Rural) registration under Lei 12.651/2012. Many exporters assume this is what the European buyer is asking for. It is not. The CAR documents your fazenda's compliance with Reserva Legal and APP requirements under Brazilian law. The EUDR requires a separate document — the Due Diligence Statement — structured under Article 4 and Annex II of Regulation (EU) 2023/1115, covering geolocation, traceability, legal compliance across eight dimensions, and a 14-criteria risk assessment. Your CAR is relevant evidence for dimension 1 (land use) and dimension 3 (forest rules), but it does not cover the other six dimensions or the risk assessment. EUDRCheck incorporates your CAR data as supporting evidence inside the full Annex II structure.
Annex II point 3 requires the country of production plus the administrative subdivision. For Brazil, that means state and municipality — not just a GPS pin on your fazenda. Annex II point 4 requires plot-level geolocation at 6 decimal places in WGS-84. Many Brazilian exporters have precise fazenda boundaries in their CAR but submit them without the Annex II structure (state + municipality + GeoJSON per plot). EUDRCheck's GeoJSON validator structures your coordinates correctly and checks RFC 7946 compliance before you finalise.
The Moratória da Soja (which covers soy, not coffee, but Brazilian exporters sometimes cite it as precedent), Rainforest Alliance, UTZ, 4C or any other certification does not replace the risk assessment required by Article 10.2 of the EUDR. The Regulation requires a systematic analysis of 14 criteria (letters a to n of Article 10.2), and Article 10.2(m) treats certifications as one complementary input, not as a substitute. A DDS that cites only the certificate and omits the 14-criteria analysis is rejected. EUDRCheck produces the full Article 10.2 risk analysis, with your certification incorporated as supporting evidence where applicable.

The eight-document dossier complying with Article 4, Annex II, Article 10 and Article 12 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1115. This is the document that your European buyer uploads to TRACES NT. EUDRCheck generates it in 15 minutes, browser-side, for €199 per dossier. One license per shipment. The ZIP you download is yours permanently.
Brazilian exporters often already have precise geolocation data through their CAR registration, which maps Reserva Legal and APP boundaries under Lei 12.651/2012. If your data is in a spreadsheet or in SICAR (Sistema Nacional de Cadastro Ambiental Rural), EUDRCheck imports it directly. If you need to capture additional coordinates, the EUDRCheck browser-side map generator lets you drop points or draw polygons at WGS-84 with 6 decimal precision, compliant with RFC 7946.
We do not sell field data collection services. We generate the dossier from the data you already have or from coordinates you capture in our built-in map tool. If you change geolocation provider in the future, your EUDRCheck dossier remains valid — the PDF and GeoJSON you downloaded are yours.
Under Article 25 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1115, Member States set national penalty regimes but must meet minimum EU-wide standards. The following consequences apply to any operator or trader placing non-compliant products on the EU market — including European importers buying from Brazilian exporters.
Article 25.2(a) requires Member States to impose fines with a maximum of at least 4% of the operator's or trader's total annual EU-wide turnover in the financial year preceding the fine decision. The maximum may be raised to exceed the economic benefit gained.
Article 25.2(b) and (c) — the relevant product and the revenues from its transaction may be seized by national customs and competent authorities.
Article 25.2(d) — temporary exclusion from tendering procedures, grants and concessions for a maximum of 12 months.
Article 25.2(e) — prohibition on placing relevant products on the EU market until full compliance is demonstrated. Applies to the European buyer, who will pass the consequence upstream to the non-compliant supplier.
Under Article 25.5, the European Commission publishes name, date and summary of every final infringement decision. Reputational exposure is permanent and public.
