EUDR Insighter · v1.5 beta

EUDR plot check for your due diligence

Does the land hold up? Upload your plots and get a report with the evidence: where the land is, what is on it, what happened to the forest and what the official registers say.

Romania: get the GeoJSON of an APV from its code, no account needed.

Or schedule a demo and we walk you through a check on a real plot.

What is EUDR Insighter?

EUDR Insighter is an online check of the geolocation of your plots (a GeoJSON file), for the due diligence that the EU Deforestation Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2023/1115, EUDR) asks of operators and traders. For each plot it gathers evidence from maps and official registers, and returns a report with the sources used and a warning or no warning. The documents check and the plot carbon estimate are a dedicated app or API, offered separately, not part of the website check: contact us ([email protected]).

Which EUDR commodities can I check?

Six of the EUDR commodities: cocoa, coffee, oil palm, rubber, soya and wood. Cattle is not checked. You choose the commodity when you upload the plots.

What file do I upload?

One GeoJSON file with longitude and latitude in WGS 84, one plot per Feature, up to 500 plots (above 50 plots, a random sample of them is checked). Each plot is an outline (polygon) or a point with its declared area, up to 10,000 hectares. KML, shapefile and other formats, and the correction of outlines, run through a dedicated API: contact us.

What does the land check look at?

Three parts and the plot facts: A, Land use 2020: forest and land use at the end of 2020, from satellite maps, cadastre and official records; B, Land changes after 2020: land use since 2020 and the cadastre now; C, Protected and indigenous land: protected areas, indigenous and community land, other conservation areas and species recorded near the plot. Plot facts (page 1 of the report): terrain, climate, water, access, soil and one carbon line. Parts A and B answer warning, no warning or not verified and count in the result; C and the plot facts are information. Each part lists its sources.

Does EUDR Insighter decide whether a product may be placed on the EU market?

No. It gives context and warnings with their evidence, never a risk rating, and it does not decide whether a product may be placed on the EU market. The report supports your due diligence; it does not replace it. The risk decision and the responsibility stay with your company.

How reliable are the maps and registers a check reads?

Maps are estimates made from satellite images, and registers show what was recorded, on the date they were read. Each source answers in its own way (definition, cell size, year, method), so sources can give different figures for the same land: each row of the report gives one reference figure and the range over the sources held. A source that applies to the plot but could not be read makes the part “not verified”, with the reason, and a missing answer never counts as “no warning”. Page 3 of the report lists every source it cites with its publisher and its published accuracy and limits.

How does the report describe a loss of forest?

A loss seen on the maps is called forest cover loss. The report says that land was converted to another use only where the new use is shown; a loss can be a harvest, a storm or a fire, so the report says what the land became. Any proven conversion after 2020 is a warning of part B.

What does the report hold?

One report per submission, for all its plots: a table that sums all plots, each row with a reference figure and the range over the sources: land at the end of 2020; natural or plantation; protected or indigenous area; burned; not changed, trees cut or unclear; warnings that name the plot or plots they concern; an index of the plots on the first page; a map of each plot.

How much does a check cost?

Identifier: no per-check fee with an API key (the key is issued after e-mail confirmation on this site). Prices of the Analyzer per submission, excluding VAT: analyzer report, up to 10 plots: €10; analyzer report, up to 30 plots: €20; analyzer report, up to 50 plots: €25; the online checks and the report are included. You pay a check by card for exactly its price, or from the balance of your access key (top-ups of €25, €50 or €100, valid 12 months from your last top-up). The first figures are not charged; a check is charged when you confirm it, before it runs. A plot your key checked in the last 90 days is not charged again and duplicates are not charged. What fails on our side is given back: credits given back stay valid at least 30 days after they come back, and a check paid by card is reverted on the card for that amount.

What do I get before I pay?

With your access key (issued after e-mail confirmation on this site), sending the GeoJSON file and the Identifier, the first answer of each plot, have no per-check fee. A file refused at upload is never charged. After the price is shown, each plot the Identifier let through gets two first figures from our own maps, at no charge: the share of the plot that was forest at the end of 2020 on the EU reference forest map of 2020, and the share in protected areas, where our protected-areas data for the place is verified. They are first figures, not the result. A figure that could not be made is “not available yet”, never 0. One access key gets first figures for up to 300 plots in 24 hours.

What happens when part of a check fails?

At the end of the check, a plot that could not be checked is given back when it changes the price. Paid from your balance: the credits come back as a line given back and stay valid at least 30 days after they come back. Paid by card for that check: the amount given back is reverted on your card; credits of that payment already spent on another check stay as credits used.

Which countries are covered?

Plots can be anywhere in the world. In version v1.5 beta, step A (Land use 2020) is covered for 244 of 247 countries and territories (partly covered in 2 more) and step B (Land changes after 2020) for 220 (partly covered in 9 more); these two steps count in the result. Step C (Protected and indigenous land) is covered for 56 (partly covered in 171 more) and the plot facts (page 1) for 77 (partly covered in 170 more); they are shown for information and not counted in the result. Where we hold no data for a place, a sub-part says “No data held” and does not count; a source that applies to the plot but could not be read makes the part “not verified”, with the reason. The Coverage page lists every country.

How long does a check take?

Plots get a first answer within minutes; the full check usually takes a few minutes per batch; you can leave and come back, the result waits in your account.
