COMMODITY · SOYA · HS 1201 · 1507 · 2304
Soya under the EUDR.
Beans, meal and oil are in scope; sowing seed left with the July 2026 removals — and every silo-full traces back to plots you may never see.
FIG 01 — YOUR OBLIGATIONS
Three facts before anything else.
SCOPE
HS 1201 · 1507 · 2304
Soya products under the listed HS codes — plus listed derivatives. Representative table below; the current Annex I is the boundary.
GEOLOCATION
POINT ≤4 HA · POLYGON >4 HA
Soya farmland is mostly large — polygons dominate; points appear only at the ≤4 ha margin.
DEADLINE
30 DEC 2026 / 30 JUN 2027¹
Feed and crush importers: micro/small prepare for 30 Jun 2027, medium/large for 30 Dec 2026, per Regulation (EU) 2025/2650.
¹ Regulation (EU) 2025/2650.
FIG 02 — WHAT'S IN SCOPE
The Annex decides, not the label.
Soya’s chapter covers the beans, their flour and meal, the oil, and the oil-cake — in scope since Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 as amended.
The July 2026 amendments removed soya beans for sowing (as amended — confirm the current Annex I). Crush beans, meal and oil remain listed.
| HS CODE | PRODUCT NOTE |
|---|---|
| 1201 | Soya beans (sowing seed removed from scope, July 2026 — as amended) |
| 1208 10 | Soya flour and meal |
| 1507 | Soya-bean oil and its fractions |
| 2304 | Soya-bean oil-cake and solid residues |
REPRESENTATIVE CODES ONLY — ALWAYS CONFIRM AGAINST THE CURRENT ANNEX I OF REGULATION (EU) 2023/1115 AS AMENDED.
FIG 03 — GEOLOCATION RULES
One threshold, two formats.
≤ 0 ha
POINT ALLOWED
A single WGS84 coordinate at six decimal places locates plots of 4 ha or less.
> 0 ha
POLYGON REQUIRED
Plots above 4 ha need a closed vertex ring tracing the full boundary.

FIG 04 — SUPPLY-CHAIN REALITY
Soya is the commodity of big fields and long intermediation. Farms in Brazil and Argentina are typically hundreds or thousands of hectares — polygons, and usually well-documented ones.
The difficulty isn’t plotting the farm you buy from; it’s the indirect supplier. Soya flows through silos and traders that aggregate harvests from many origins, and the farm behind your cargo is often not the farm you contracted.
For indirect supply, the working pattern is supplier declarations backed by municipality- and farm-level data, progressively narrowed. Some buyers already demand farm-level polygon lists from traders; that’s the direction the DDS pushes.
Soya’s deforestation story concentrates in the Cerrado, where the cut-off date (31 December 2020) does the heavy legal lifting: conversion after that date puts plots out of bounds regardless of current appearance.
“A soya cargo is a blend of hundreds of farms by the time it sails — the DDS still wants the plots behind it.”
KEY RISK — SOYA
Indirect suppliers delivering into silos are the classic blind spot. Mapping only your direct counterparties leaves the risk exactly where it’s highest.
