Due diligence for CN 38231100

Before you place CN 38231100 on the EU market or export it, you file a due diligence statement that the oil palm in it is deforestation-free and legally produced (Art. 4). You collect the geolocation of every plot it came from and the date of production (Art. 9). Annex I lists this line with ex, so it covers only the goods made from oil palm.
