What geolocation data is needed for cocoa from Ethiopia?

You need GPS coordinates (latitude/longitude) of the cocoa production site in Ethiopia. For plots over 4 hectares, polygon coordinates defining the plot boundaries are required. For smaller plots, a single point coordinate is acceptable. Coordinates must be accurate enough to verify the land was not deforested after December 2020.

How do I verify Ethiopia cocoa is deforestation-free?

You must obtain documentation from your supplier showing that the cocoa production land in Ethiopia was not converted from forest after 31 December 2020. This typically includes satellite imagery analysis, land use certificates, or certification scheme documentation. The exact evidence required may vary based on your risk assessment.

What HS codes apply to cocoa from Ethiopia?

Common HS codes for cocoa include: 1801, 1802, 1803, 1804, 1805, 1806. However, the specific code depends on the exact product form and processing state. You are responsible for determining the correct HS code for your products. EUDR Central provides lookup guidance but does not make classification decisions.
