Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 · VerifiedGenerate the DDS — €199

Your Trading Desk in Amsterdam Just Received 500 Tonnes of Ivorian Cocoa. Your Customs Broker Asks for the EUDR Reference Number. Here's How to Generate the DDS in 15 Minutes.

The Netherlands is the EU's commodity gateway. Amsterdam-Zaanstad = world's largest cocoa cluster (20-25% of global trade). Rotterdam = Europe's largest seaport. Dutch trading houses are operators under Article 2 when they place commodities on the EU market. Netherlands is low-risk but the EUDR risk applies to the country of production — cocoa from Ivory Coast = standard risk. EUDRCheck generates the dossier in 15 minutes. €199 per lot.

Three most common mistakes

Pattern 1 — NL low-risk confused with origin risk

Netherlands is low-risk, but cocoa from Ivory Coast = standard risk

The EUDR risk follows the commodity's origin.

Pattern 2 — Grinder assumes supplier handles DDS

If you place the product on the EU market first, you file

Even if you process beans into butter/liquor/powder.

Pattern 3 — Certification as DDS substitute

RSPO, Fairtrade, RA = complementary under Art. 10.2(m)

Not a DDS substitute.

What EUDRCheck guarantees and what it doesn't

EUDRCheck generates a document structured under Article 4 and Annex II of Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 (as amended by Regulation (EU) 2025/2650) based on the information you enter. The truthfulness, accuracy and completeness of that information is your responsibility as operator or supplier of the consignment.

We guarantee that the document structure follows Article 4 and Annex II of Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 and that the legal references cited are correct as of the latest verification date. We do not guarantee that a specific document will be accepted by a market surveillance authority in a specific case, nor by a commercial buyer in a procurement process.

EUDRCheck is not legal advice. For specific situations, consult a lawyer or specialised regulatory consultancy.

Frequently asked questions — Dutch commodity traders

NVWA enforcement?
NVWA (Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority) is the competent authority for EUDR in the Netherlands.

Each origin documented separately.
