The European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) continues to reshape global trade, particularly for exporters in India and the Middle East. With the recent inclusion of 17 new HSN (Combined Nomenclature) codes, businesses must adapt quickly to maintain their access to the European market.
Whether you are exporting soluble coffee from Kerala, palm oil derivatives from the UAE, or processed beef from Uttar Pradesh, understanding these changes is critical for your supply chain.
WHAT ARE THE NEW EUDR HSN CODE INCLUSIONS?
The European Commission has expanded the scope of the EUDR to include several key commodities:
Soluble Coffee: Extracts and essences (CN 2101 11 00) are now strictly regulated.
Palm Oil Derivatives: A wide range of oleochemicals used in cosmetics and lubricants (such as ex 1516 20 and ex 3823 70 00) have been added.
Processed Beef: Frozen beef tongues (ex 0206 21 00) are now included.
Soaps: High natural oil content soaps (3401 11 00 and 3401 20) fall under the new rules.
HOW THIS IMPACTS EXPORTERS IN INDIA AND THE MIDDLE EAST
For businesses across India—from the tech hubs of Bangalore to the manufacturing centers of Gujarat and Maharashtra—and throughout the Middle East, compliance requires strict traceability. You must now prove that these newly included products did not originate from recently deforested land.
