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

Your Compliance Team Needs to Understand the GeoJSON Format the EUDR Requires. Here Is the Exact File Structure, with Valid Examples, Common Errors, and a Tool That Generates It Automatically.

GeoJSON is a geospatial data format based on JSON. RFC 7946 (IETF, 2016) is the standard. The EUDR requires all geolocation in TRACES NT to be RFC 7946 GeoJSON in WGS-84 (EPSG:4326) with 6+ decimal places. This page explains valid structure, mandatory fields, common errors, and how EUDRCheck generates valid files automatically.

Structure of a valid EUDR GeoJSON file

Point (plot < 4 ha):

{
  "type": "FeatureCollection",
  "features": [{
    "type": "Feature",
    "geometry": {
      "type": "Point",
      "coordinates": [35.012345, 6.789012]
    },
    "properties": {
      "plot_id": "ETH-OROMIA-001",
      "area_ha": 2.3,
      "commodity": "coffee"
    }
  }]
}

Polygon (plot ≥ 4 ha):

{
  "type": "FeatureCollection",
  "features": [{
    "type": "Feature",
    "geometry": {
      "type": "Polygon",
      "coordinates": [[
        [35.012345, 6.789012],
        [35.013456, 6.789012],
        [35.013456, 6.790123],
        [35.012345, 6.790123],
        [35.012345, 6.789012]
      ]]
    },
    "properties": {
      "plot_id": "BRA-MT-SOY-042",
      "area_ha": 12.7,
      "commodity": "soy"
    }
  }]
}

Critical notes: RFC 7946 order is [longitude, latitude], NOT [latitude, longitude]. First and last polygon point must be identical (closed ring). No self-intersecting polygons. EUDRCheck handles all of this automatically.

Three most common GeoJSON errors

Error 1 — Longitude and latitude reversed

RFC 7946: [longitude, latitude] — NOT [latitude, longitude]

Many GPS devices and Google Maps display lat first. Swapping places your plot in the wrong hemisphere.

Error 2 — Polygon ring not closed

First and last coordinate must be identical

EUDRCheck closes rings automatically.

Error 3 — Wrong CRS (not WGS-84)

SIRGAS2000, VN2000, local datums rejected

EUDR/TRACES NT only accepts WGS-84 (EPSG:4326). Convert before submission.

What you receive: an 8-document EUDR dossier

EUDRCheck does not generate a single PDF. It generates a complete dossier of eight structured documents, delivered as a ZIP file you download and keep. Every document cites the specific EUDR article it complies with.

1

Scope Dictum

Identifies your role (operator / trader / downstream), applicable regime, legal timeline. Article 2 + Article 8.

2

Pre-filled DDS

Signable PDF + TRACES NT-importable JSON. Every Annex II field completed with your data. Article 4 + Annex II.

3

Validated GeoJSON

File compliant with RFC 7946 + WGS-84. Points for plots under 4 ha, polygons for plots over 4 ha. Visual PDF included. Article 2(28) + Annex II.4.

4

Formal Risk Assessment

Systematic analysis of the 14 criteria of Article 10.2 (letters a to n). Formal conclusion on risk level. Article 10.

5

Risk Mitigation Plan

Mitigation measures adopted or recommended when risk is standard or high. Article 11.

6

Supply Chain Mapping

Upstream and downstream map with full traceability data. Annex II.5.

7

Country-of-production Legal Checklist

Eight dimensions of Article 2(40). Article 2(40) + 3(b).

8

Post-DDS Calendar + Compliance Reminders

ICS calendar file with annual review, 5-year retention requirement, 72-hour amend/withdraw window. Article 12 + Article 32.

Enforcement reality

Invalid GeoJSON = invalid DDS.

🇪🇺
Fines — minimum 4% of EU annual turnover
≥ 4%

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.

🇪🇺
Confiscation of the commodity and its revenues
100%

Article 25.2(b) and (c) — the relevant product and the revenues from its transaction may be seized by national customs and competent authorities.

🇪🇺
Exclusion from EU public procurement
12 months max

Article 25.2(d) — temporary exclusion from tendering procedures, grants and concessions for a maximum of 12 months.

🇪🇺
Temporary market ban in serious or repeated cases
Indefinite

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.

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 — EUDR GeoJSON format

Coordinate order?
RFC 7946: [longitude, latitude]. Most GPS devices show [latitude, longitude]. EUDRCheck handles this correctly.
What properties are required?
RFC 7946 properties are optional. EUDRCheck includes plot_id, area_ha, commodity for traceability.
MultiPolygon?
Used when a single plot has multiple non-contiguous fragments.
File size limit?
TRACES NT does not publish a size limit. EUDRCheck generates minimal valid files.
Privacy?
Browser-side.
Legal advice?
No.
