Plywood compliance and certificates guides for importers

In short

Each rule an importer faces maps to a file PK Ply already holds. EUDR from 30 December 2026 meets our GeoJSON dossier; the REACH formaldehyde limit from 6 August 2026 meets an E1 chamber result; US rules meet our CARB Phase 2 / TSCA Title VI documentation; structural use meets CE 0407-CPR-2146.

The short answer

Which rule needs which file?

Read the rule, then ask for the file. The table matches each rule to what it requires and to the document we send before the order is confirmed.

EUDR

When does EUDR apply to plywood importers, and who files the due diligence statement?

EUDR applies from 30 December 2026 to large and medium operators and to small importers already under EUTR, which includes plywood importers. Other micro and small operators follow on 30 June 2027. The EU importer is the operator and files the due diligence statement.

There is no official EUDR certificate. The operator files the due diligence statement (DDS) before the customs declaration; one DDS can cover several shipments, and records are kept five years. A downstream EU user of plywood that already has a DDS keeps its reference instead of filing again.

Our dossier gives the importer what Article 9 asks for: product description, species with scientific names, quantity, country of production, and the geolocation of every plot with production dates, as GeoJSON with at least six decimal digits and polygons for plots over 4 ha.

Vietnam is classed low risk. Simplified due diligence applies only when every commodity in the product comes from low-risk countries, so the importer still collects the information and files the DDS.

Formaldehyde

Which formaldehyde limits apply in the EU and the US?

In the EU, REACH entry 77 caps emission from wood-based articles at 0.062 mg/m³ in the Appendix 14 chamber from 6 August 2026. In the US, TSCA Title VI and CARB Phase 2 cap hardwood plywood at 0.05 ppm.

The two values come from different tests and are never converted into each other. An ASTM ppm result stays a ppm result; an EN 717-1 chamber result stays in mg/m³.

Our 21 mm phenolic specimen showed no detectable formaldehyde at the 0.04 mg/m³ reporting limit in the EN 717-1 chamber (SGS Vietnam), an E1 pass. For US orders we hold CARB Phase 2 / TSCA Title VI documentation for applicable products.

Questions about plywood rules and certificates

When does EUDR apply to plywood importers?

From 30 December 2026 for large and medium operators and for small importers already under EUTR, which includes plywood importers; from 30 June 2027 for other micro and small operators.

Who files the EUDR due diligence statement?

The EU importer, as operator, files the DDS before the customs declaration. A downstream user of plywood that already has a DDS keeps its reference instead.

What geolocation data does your EUDR dossier provide?

GeoJSON plots with at least six decimal digits, polygons for plots over 4 ha, plus species, quantity, country of production and production dates.

Is there an official EUDR certificate for plywood?

No. The importer files a due diligence statement; our dossier supplies the information it needs.

What REACH formaldehyde limit applies to wood-based panels?

0.062 mg/m³ in the REACH Appendix 14 chamber for wood-based articles placed on the EU market from 6 August 2026; articles used only outdoors are excluded.

Which formaldehyde limit applies under CARB Phase 2 and TSCA Title VI?

0.05 ppm for hardwood plywood with a veneer or composite core. We hold CARB Phase 2 / TSCA Title VI documentation for applicable products and orders.

Does Vietnam's low-risk EUDR class remove due diligence?

No. It allows simplified due diligence only when every commodity in the product comes from low-risk countries; the importer still collects the information and files the DDS.
