You Import 5,000 Tonnes of Brazilian Beef Per Year for Your European Distribution Network. From December 2026, Every Shipment Needs an EUDR Dossier — Here's How to Generate It in 15 Minutes.

The EU imported over 400,000 tonnes of beef in 2025, the highest volume since 2019, driven by declining EU domestic production. Brazil dominates, followed by Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. Cattle products (HS 0201/0202) are one of the seven EUDR commodity groups. Brazilian beef is at the centre of the EUDR deforestation debate — Amazon and Cerrado biomes linked to cattle ranching. If you import beef, you are the operator under Article 4. The DDS is your obligation. EUDRCheck generates the dossier in 15 minutes. €199 per consignment.

The numbers that matter

EU beef production has been declining — ~6.4 million tonnes in 2026, lowest in 25 years. Imports are filling the gap. Brazil is standard risk, Argentina and Uruguay low risk. The 31/12/2020 cut-off is particularly sensitive for Brazilian beef.

What the EUDR requires

Under Article 4 and Annex II.

Commodity

HS 0201/0202 (beef). Bos taurus / Bos indicus. Annex II point 2.

Country of production

Brazil (Mato Grosso, Pará, Goiás), Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay. Annex II point 3.

Geolocation

Every farm/ranch where cattle were raised. GTA traceable to farm of origin. WGS-84, 6 decimals. Annex II point 4.

Supply chain

Ranch → feedlot → frigorífico → exporter → you. Annex II point 5.

Legal compliance

Código Florestal (Brazil), CAR, SISBOV, G4 where applicable. Art. 2(40) + 3(b).

Risk assessment

14 criteria. G4 / SISBOV = complementary under Art. 10.2(m).

EUDRCheck generates the dossier in 15 minutes.

Three most common mistakes

❌

Pattern 1 — Frigorífico coordinates ≠ farm geolocation

Art. 2(28) requires the ranch, not the slaughterhouse

Frigorífico-level coordinates are rejected.

❌

Pattern 2 — Indirect supplier chains

EUDR requires traceability to the original rearing farm

Not just the last farm before slaughter.

❌

Pattern 3 — G4 / SISBOV as DDS substitute

Supporting evidence under Art. 10.2(m)

Full 14-criteria risk assessment still required.

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.

Frequently asked questions — European beef importers

Argentina/Uruguay are low risk. Simplified?

Only for micro/small primary operators. Most importers use full DDS.

Farm-level traceability for Brazilian beef?

Yes. GTA must be traceable to the farm of origin, not just the frigorífico.
