Note: The “ex” prefix indicates that the corresponding product included within Annex I of the EUDR is only part of the entire HS code. A particular customs code may cover a range of products beyond the product referred to in the Annex of the EUDR. However, the prefix "ex" indicates that only a proportion of those products are included.

Are any products exempted from the EUDR?
EU customs code not listed in Annex 1
Any EU customs code not listed in Annex 1 of the regulation, means that the associated products are considered exempt from the regulation.
Products at the end of their lifecycle (or the material in a product which can be described as such)
Except for by-products of a manufacturing process, where that process involved material not classified as waste (as defined in Article 3, point 1 of EU Directive 2008/98/EC), the EUDR does not apply to products produced entirely from material that has completed its lifecycle and would otherwise have been discarded as waste, as defined in Article 3, point (1), of that Directive.
Packaging
Annex I of the EUDR, describes the following:
- Due diligence requirements apply to any wood/paper packaging falling under an Annex I customs code, which is placed on the market or exported as a product in its own right.
- However, packaging falling under CN code 4415 is exempted from the regulation’s requirements when serving as packing material to support, protect or carry another product placed on the market.
The EUDR FAQ provides an update on packaging:
- Packaging material used to support, protect or carry another product placed on the market is not relevant within the meaning of Annex I of the Regulation, regardless of the CN code under which it falls. Thus, the exemption for packaging includes paper and card packing (e.g., those falling under CN 4819).
- User Manuals accompanying shipments are not relevant products, unless purchased independently.
