The numbers that matter for Malaysian timber exports to the EU

Malaysia is one of the world's largest tropical timber exporters. Sabah, Sarawak and Peninsular Malaysia produce meranti, keruing, kapur, nyatoh and balau under state forestry department management.

Standard risk under May 2025 benchmarking. Full due diligence mandatory. MTCS/PEFC = complementary evidence, not DDS.

NCR (native customary rights) land in Sabah and Sarawak creates specific legal complexity for the Article 2(40) compliance declaration.

What the EUDR requires

Under Article 4 and Annex II.

Commodity

HS 4407/4403. Shorea spp. (meranti), keruing, kapur, balau. Annex II point 2.

Country of production

Malaysia — state + district (Sabah–Sandakan, Sarawak–Sibu, Pahang–Jerantut). Annex II point 3.

Geolocation

Concession compartment coordinates (Annual Coupe from forest management plans). Polygon. 6 decimals, WGS-84. Annex II point 4.

Traceability

Concession holder / sawmill / exporter / EU importer. Annex II point 5.

Legal compliance

National Forestry Act 1984 (Peninsular), Sabah Forest Enactment 1968, Sarawak Forests Ordinance 2015, Sabah Land Ordinance, Sarawak Land Code, NCR land rights, Environmental Quality Act 1974, MTCS, FPIC, labour. Art. 2(40) + 3(b).

Risk assessment

14 criteria. Mandatory (standard risk). Art. 10.

EUDRCheck generates the dossier in 15 minutes.

The three most common mistakes

❌

Pattern 1 — Sawmill GPS

Annual Coupe data from state forest management plans contains compartment coordinates

Not sawmill location.

❌

Pattern 2 — MTCS/PEFC as DDS

Complementary evidence under Art. 10.2(m)

Not a substitute.

❌

Pattern 3 — NCR land not addressed

Sabah and Sarawak NCR land rights must be documented

Art. 2(40) requires documentation on land use rights. Omitting NCR in Borneo states triggers review.

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.
