Your Italian Blender Wants the EUDR Dossier for the Next Monsooned Malabar Container. Your Curing Works Sources from 400 Planters Across Chikmagalur. Here's the Document in 15 Minutes.

India is the world's seventh largest coffee producer and a unique origin — the birthplace of Monsooned Malabar, Mysore Nuggets Extra Bold and the shaded Arabicas and Robustas of the Western Ghats. Coffee Board of India, under the Ministry of Commerce, oversees around 350,000 registered growers across Karnataka (Chikmagalur, Coorg, Hassan), Kerala (Wayanad) and Tamil Nadu (Nilgiris). The European Union is India's largest coffee market by volume, with Italy, Germany and Belgium importing over $1.28 billion of Indian coffee annually — 50 to 70% of India's total coffee exports. India is classified as low-risk under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1093 of 22 May 2025. Micro and small planters may submit the simplified declaration under Annex III. Curing works, planter companies and export cooperatives aggregating larger volumes operate under the standard DDS path. EUDRCheck generates both types — simplified Annex III or full Article 4 dossier — in 15 minutes, browser-side, for €199 per lot.

The numbers that matter for Indian coffee exports to the EU

India is the world's seventh largest coffee producer and a unique origin — Monsooned Malabar, Mysore Nuggets Extra Bold and the shaded coffees of the Western Ghats. Coffee Board of India oversees around 350,000 registered growers across Karnataka (Chikmagalur, Coorg, Hassan), Kerala (Wayanad) and Tamil Nadu (Nilgiris).

The European Union is India's largest coffee market by volume. Italy, Germany and Belgium import over $1.28 billion of Indian coffee annually — 50 to 70% of total Indian coffee exports. High Range Coffee Curing was verified as one of the first EUDR-ready farms by Rainforest Alliance in May 2024.

India is classified as low-risk under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1093. Micro and small planters may qualify for the simplified Annex III declaration. Curing works, planter companies and cooperatives aggregating larger volumes operate under the standard Article 4 / Annex II path.

What your Italian, German or Belgian buyer is actually asking you for

Under Article 4 and Annex II of Regulation (EU) 2023/1115, the data fields your buyer needs from you are defined by law.

1
Commodity description under Combined Nomenclature
HS code 0901 for green coffee, with scientific name Coffea arabica or Coffea canephora (Robusta). Annex II point 2.
2
Country of production
India — with state and district (e.g., Karnataka-Chikmagalur, Kerala-Wayanad, Tamil Nadu-Nilgiris). Annex II point 3.
3
Geolocation of every plot of land
Minimum 6 decimal places, WGS-84, GeoJSON compliant with RFC 7946. Annex II point 4 + Article 2(28).
4
Supplier and buyer traceability data
Name, address, business identifier upstream and downstream. Annex II point 5.
5
Declaration of compliance with Indian law
Across eight areas: land use under Coffee Act 1942 and state land laws, environmental protection, forest rules under Karnataka Forest Act, third-party rights, labour, human rights, FPIC, tax and anti-corruption. Coffee Board of India registration compliance. Article 2(40) + Article 3(b).
6
Risk assessment against 14 criteria
Systematic analysis under Article 10.2 (letters a to n). Article 10.

EUDRCheck generates the complete dossier with all six elements in 15 minutes.

The three most common reasons Indian DDS submissions get pushback — and how to avoid them

Pattern 1 — Misreading the simplified regime for large curing works

"India is low-risk, we don't need a full DDS" (wrong for most exporters)

The simplified Annex III declaration applies only to micro and small primary operators who themselves grow the commodity. Curing works and planter companies aggregating volumes generally operate under the standard Article 4 / Annex II path. EUDRCheck's scope diagnostic identifies your exact role.

Pattern 2 — Estate-level coordinates without taluk / district subdivision

Incomplete administrative subdivision data

Annex II point 3 requires country plus administrative subdivision. For India: state and district. Estate coordinates without taluk and district context fail subdivision validation. EUDRCheck captures both layers automatically.

Pattern 3 — Rainforest Alliance or Coffee Board certificate treated as risk assessment

Certifications are supporting evidence, not a substitute

No certification — Rainforest Alliance, Coffee Board grade, Fairtrade — replaces the 14-criteria analysis of Article 10.2. EUDRCheck produces the full analysis, incorporating certifications as supporting evidence.

What you receive: an 8-document EUDR dossier generated in your browser

The EUDR dossier and the estate/planter mapping: two separate layers

● LAYER 1 — THE DOSSIER (EUDRCHECK DOES THIS)

The structured Due Diligence Statement

The eight-document dossier complying with Article 4, Annex II, Article 10 and Article 12. EUDRCheck generates it in 15 minutes, browser-side, for €199. The ZIP you download is yours permanently.

∅ LAYER 2 — ESTATE / PLANTER MAPPING (SEPARATE)

Gathering plot-level GPS from estates and smallholders

Coffee Board of India maintains registration data for estates across Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Rainforest Alliance group certifications have also driven GPS mapping in the Western Ghats. If your data is in a spreadsheet, EUDRCheck imports it directly. The built-in map tool captures coordinates at WGS-84 with 6 decimals, compliant with RFC 7946.

We do not sell field data collection services. We generate the dossier from the data you already have or from coordinates you capture in our built-in map tool.

Enforcement reality: what happens when the EUDR DDS is missing or invalid

Under Article 25 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1115, Member States set national penalty regimes but must meet minimum EU-wide standards. The following consequences apply to any operator or trader placing non-compliant products on the EU market — including importers buying from Indian exporters.

🇪🇺
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.

Under Article 25.5, the European Commission publishes name, date and summary of every final infringement decision. Reputational exposure is permanent and public.

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 — Indian coffee exporters

India is low-risk. Does my curing works still need a full DDS?
Probably. The simplified Annex III declaration applies only to micro and small primary operators who themselves grow the commodity. Curing works aggregating from multiple estates or smallholders generally operate under the standard Article 4 / Annex II path. EUDRCheck's scope diagnostic identifies your exact role.
Who files the DDS — the Indian exporter or the EU importer?
The DDS is filed by the EU-based operator who places the coffee on the European market. Your company provides the structured data package. EUDRCheck produces that package.
Can EUDRCheck handle Coffee Board of India traceability data?
Yes. EUDRCheck accepts GeoJSON, CSV imports, manual entry and polygon drawing. The validator checks 6-decimal WGS-84 and RFC 7946 compliance.
Does Rainforest Alliance certification replace the Article 10 risk assessment?
No. Article 10.2(m) treats certifications as complementary evidence. EUDRCheck incorporates them and produces the full 14-criteria analysis separately.
Does my data leave my computer?
No. Everything is processed in your browser. The ZIP is generated on your device.
Is EUDRCheck legal advice?
No. Documentation structuring tool. For specific situations, consult a lawyer.
