Commodity guide
Oil palm and the EUDR
Oil palm scope covers specified palm products and now includes additional oleochemical and derivative entries from 30 December 2027. Many entries use “ex” limitations.
Scope snapshot
What to check
Relevant code groups: selected 1207, 1511, 1513 and added 2027 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.
