Furniture manufactured in Vietnam that is exported to the EU needs to comply with the EUDR

"What will be the impact of the EU Deforestation Regulation for businesses in Vietnam?

The EUDR prohibits introducing into the market, marketing, or exporting relevant commodities and products, unless the following conditions are met:

• They do not contribute to deforestation or forest degradation.

• They have been produced in accordance with the relevant legislation of the country of production (which includes not only compliance with environmental regulations, but also those related to land-use rights, forest management, labour, tax and /or human rights laws).

• They are covered by a due diligence statement.

The due diligence statement ensures that products and commodities do not cause deforestation or forest degradation.

Furthermore, sustainable furniture commonly uses:

• materials that come from renewable sources or recycled;

• materials with minimal chemicals that can pollute the environment and harm the population; and

• local materials or local manufacturing to save on transportation.
