Commodity guide
Cattle and the EUDR
Live cattle and specified derived products. The 2026 update changed species wording and removed cattle hide/leather entries while adding frozen cattle tongues from 30 December 2027.
Scope snapshot
What to check
Relevant code groups: 0102, 0201, 0202 and selected derivatives. This is a screening summary, not a complete legal enumeration.
Recommended workflow
- Identify the exact product and current CN code.
- Confirm whether Annex I lists the code directly or with an “ex” limitation.
- Check whether the 2026 scope update removed, narrowed or newly added the product.
- Identify country of production and operator/trader role.
- Collect required geolocation, legality and traceability evidence.
Why “ex” matters
When Annex I uses “ex”, only part of the customs heading is covered. The result can depend on the relevant commodity, species, material composition or how the product was produced. Do not treat the whole heading as automatically in scope.
