FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common questions about GeoEUDR and EUDR compliance.
Does GeoComms certify EUDR compliance?
No. GeoComms creates and operates geospatial evidence and traceability workflows that support readiness, buyer due diligence and independent verification. The legally responsible operator retains its EUDR obligations under Regulation (EU) 2023/1115.
Is a farm polygon enough to demonstrate compliance?
No. Geolocation must remain linked to supplier identity, production history, legality documentation, land-use evidence, delivery records, processing records and shipment documentation throughout the supply chain.
Does low-risk country classification remove the need for geolocation?
No. Country risk classification affects the level of due diligence required, but the geolocation requirement and the need to identify contributing farms and plantations is not removed by a low-risk designation.
Can AI automatically approve EUDR compliance?
No. AI can assemble records, detect anomalies, assist evidence review and prepare reports. Accountable human decision-makers must resolve exceptions, review evidence and approve compliance conclusions.
Are all products containing a covered commodity included in EUDR scope?
No. Coverage depends on the exact current Annex I CN/HS classification and the relevant covered material. Not every processed product containing a covered commodity is automatically within scope. Classification should be confirmed with the relevant customs authority.
Can GeoEUDR work without continuous internet connectivity?
Yes. Field workflows use QField with offline data collection and controlled synchronization. Data is captured in the field and synchronized to the central system when connectivity is available.
Can farm and parcel data be reused beyond EUDR requirements?
Yes, subject to the consent of the data subjects and applicable data governance rules. The same farm and parcel registry can support production intelligence, agricultural development programs and market access without duplicating data collection.
Does a 'Screened — No Issue Detected' status mean a parcel is cleared for export?
No. This status means that the available evidence, subject to documented limitations, does not indicate a post-31 December 2020 deforestation event. It is one element of the evidence record. The responsible operator makes the due-diligence determination.
What is the EUDR cut-off date?
The EUDR requires that relevant products were not produced on land subject to deforestation or forest degradation after 31 December 2020. Evidence must be relevant to this date.
What is 'first-mile evidence'?
First-mile evidence refers to the supplier identity, farm registration, parcel geolocation, production record, legality documentation and field evidence collected at the farm or plantation level — before the commodity is aggregated, processed or traded.
