China is a major plywood exporter to the EU. Chinese plywood often uses birch (historically Russian — now high-risk and sanctioned), poplar (domestic Chinese — low risk), or tropical face veneers (African or Southeast Asian — standard risk). The EUDR country of production is where each timber component was harvested. A sheet of plywood with Russian birch core and Cameroonian okoumé face has two countries of production: Russia (high-risk) and Cameroon (standard risk). Both must be documented. EUDRCheck generates the DDS for any country of production in 15 minutes. €199 per consignment.

China dominates global plywood production and exports. Chinese plywood reaches European construction, packaging and furniture markets. The critical EUDR issue is the timber components — a single sheet may contain timber from multiple origins, each with its own risk classification.
Russian birch — historically the core material for Chinese birch plywood — is now high-risk under the EUDR and subject to EU sanctions. Tropical face veneers from Cameroon, Gabon or Indonesia are standard risk. Domestic Chinese poplar is low risk.
Each timber component's origin must be documented separately in the DDS.
Each timber component's origin must be documented separately.
EUDRCheck generates the dossier in 15 minutes.
The EUDR country of production is where each timber component was harvested. A Linyi plywood mill using Russian birch and Cameroonian okoumé has two countries of production.
Russian birch is high-risk under EUDR and subject to EU sanctions. Any residual Russian timber in plywood triggers enhanced controls and potential sanctions penalties.
If your plywood contains timber from two or three origins, the DDS must document each origin with its own geolocation, legal compliance and risk assessment.

Chinese plywood mills need to trace birch, poplar and tropical veneer back to their respective harvesting origins. Bills of lading, supplier declarations and forest concession data are the key inputs.
We generate the dossier from the data you have.
Under Article 25, penalties apply. Russian-origin timber detected in declared non-Russian plywood triggers aggravated enforcement.
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, every infringement decision is published.
