China is the world's largest exporter of wooden furniture, supplying European retailers, contract furnishers and e-commerce platforms with everything from solid wood dining tables to bedroom sets and office desks. But Chinese furniture manufacturers import a significant share of their timber raw material — from Cameroon, Gabon, Papua New Guinea, Russia, Myanmar and Southeast Asia. Under the EUDR, the country of production is where the timber was harvested, not where the furniture was manufactured. A dining table made in Guangdong from Cameroonian sapelli has Cameroon as its EUDR country of production. A bed frame made in Shandong from Russian birch has Russia — a high-risk country — as its EUDR country of production. China itself is classified as low-risk under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1093, but the commodity risk is driven by the timber origin, not the factory location.

China's furniture industry dominates global trade. Chinese manufacturers export over $80 billion in furniture annually, with the EU as one of the three largest destination markets alongside the United States and Japan. Major production hubs include Guangdong, Zhejiang, Fujian, Shandong and Jiangsu provinces.
The EUDR challenge for Chinese furniture exporters is not China's own risk classification — China is low-risk. The challenge is the timber supply chain. Chinese manufacturers import logs and sawn timber from Africa (Cameroon, Gabon, Congo), Southeast Asia (Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam), Russia and Latin America. Each of these origins has its own EUDR risk classification, and the DDS must document the origin where the timber was harvested.
A single Chinese furniture factory may source timber from three or four countries. Each source requires its own country-of-production documentation in the DDS.
The country of production under the EUDR is where the timber was harvested — not where the furniture was manufactured. If your factory uses timber from multiple origins, each must be documented separately.
EUDRCheck generates the dossier for any country of production in 15 minutes.
If your factory in Guangdong processes sapelli from Cameroon, the country of production is Cameroon. The DDS must document Cameroonian origin, Cameroonian geolocation, Cameroonian legal compliance.
China's low-risk classification applies to timber harvested in China from Chinese forests. If your furniture contains timber imported from standard-risk (Cameroon, Indonesia) or high-risk (Russia, Myanmar) origins, the DDS must address those origins at their respective risk levels.
If logs came from non-FSC forests, the CoC is irrelevant to the EUDR origin requirement. EUDRCheck documents each timber origin separately.

Chinese furniture factories may have supplier records, bills of lading and FSC CoC traceability. The critical question is whether the data traces back to the forest where the timber was harvested — not just to the Chinese port of entry.
We do not sell traceability consulting. We generate the dossier from the data you have.
Under Article 25, penalties apply to the EU operator importing the furniture — not to the Chinese factory.
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 Commission publishes every final infringement decision.
