The EUDR contains provisions governing the placing on the market and making available of relevant raw materials and products in the EU. Swiss companies that export relevant raw materials or products to the EU in accordance with the EUDR are affected by the EUDR. This website provides information on the EUDR for Swiss companies from the perspective of the Federal Administration.
The EUDR came into force on 29 June 2023. From 30 December 2025, large companies and, from 30 June 2026, small companies will only be able to make relevant commodities available on the EU market or export them from the EU if they comply with the requirements of the EUDR. The EUDR replaces the European Union Timber Regulation (EUTR). This EU Regulation does not apply in Switzerland; the placing of timber on the market in Switzerland continues to be governed by the Timber Trade Ordinance (TTO).
