Trade scenario guide

Wooden Export Packaging & EUDR

Wooden export packaging can be inside or outside EUDR depending on whether the packaging itself is the traded product or is used solely to carry another exported product.

Status

Conditional — packaging-use exclusions can apply

Key question

Is the packaging itself being sold, or is it already being used exclusively to carry another product?

Export workflow

Packaging supplier sale

Empty crates/pallets sold to an exporter can be products in their own right.

Export shipment use

When used exclusively as packing and presented with the exported goods, the packaging-use exclusion may apply.

Reusable export packaging

Clearly reusable packing can be excluded from the moment it is used for that carrying purpose and onwards.
