- Commodity and region coverage:
- Give the vendor your real commodities and origin countries and obtain written coverage, including cattle and wood. The EUDR page names four commodities, so do not assume the rest.
- Accuracy claim reconciliation:
- Pages cite different accuracy figures, so ask which metric, commodity and region each refers to and request the assurance report scope. Test known plots where you hold ground truth and keep the comparison.
- Baseline and forest definition:
- Ask how the forest baseline treats perennial crops and which definition applies per country. The FAQ cites an FAO-based definition and an article describes a curated baseline; obtain the written method.
