If you cannot reconstruct the exact origin of a shipment years later, you carry the liability.
Compliance is not documentation. It is data retrievability under inspection. The European Union requires verifiable, lot-level supply chain state for regulated commodities.
Note: The active product surface of UCVreg is Digital Product Passports under ESPR. While ESPR capabilities are active, EUDR implementation pathways are still in development and will act as a unified Single Source of Truth (SSOT) across mandates.
Your container arrives at an EU port. Customs authorities flag the HS code for EUDR verification.
Authorities request the underlying data for the Due Diligence Statement (DDS). They demand:
If upstream supplier records cannot reconstruct the exact origin of that specific lot, traceability is broken. The shipment is held.
Under EUDR, companies must identify the exact origin of commodities, map geolocation coordinates, conduct deforestation risk assessments, and submit a Due Diligence Statement (DDS).
A DDS is not a PDF.
It must be backed by verifiable, structured supply-chain data that can be re-validated during an inspection.
Commodity origins must be tracked per specific production batch.
Precise coordinates for every plot contributing to the supply chain.
Recursive visibility beyond direct tier-1 suppliers.
Records must survive operational system purges and updates.
Supplier updates overwrite prior states.
No preservation of the exact state at the time of declaration.
No cryptographic proof that the data hasn't been altered.
Manually assembling past states during an audit is prone to error.
When enforcement happens, retrospective reconstruction creates immense legal and commercial exposure. If your compliance depends on querying an actively mutating operational database, you cannot mathematically prove the past.
Captures complete supply-chain data and geolocation coordinates exactly at declaration time.
Supplier changes create new versions without corrupting the historical integrity of past shipments.
The Due Diligence Statement (DDS) data receives a deterministic hash, making it mathematically verifiable.
Inspection requests and responses become a permanent part of the shipment's append-only lifecycle log.
Handles regulatory updates structurally. Historical records remain valid under their issuance schema.
EUDR is not about documents. It is about preserving the strict relationship between the physical product and its regulatory history.
That relationship must survive system upgrades and supplier turnover.
Enforcement failures are commercial failures. The inability to produce verifiable origin data leads directly to commercial risk.
