EUDR wooden furniture 2026/2027 – HS 9403, supplier declaration and batch block | Word/PDF/Excel

Does your company import, manufacture, or sell wooden furniture? With the updated EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), you first need to find out which wood-based furniture is covered, what role your company plays, and what evidence is required for your specific shipment. This niche Swedish work and documentation package helps you manage CN 9403, supplier declarations, wood species, geolocation, shipment holds, and competent decisions. It is an administrative template package – not an official approval or an automatic DDS submission.

In short: 5 Swedish work templates + Swedish guide + English User Guide, each as an editable Word file and searchable PDF. Also a Swedish Excel workbook with nine tabs and formulas. 15 files in total (7 DOCX + 7 PDF + 1 XLSX) in a digital ZIP file upon future product publication. PDFs are searchable and printable, not interactively fillable.

Why This EUDR Package Is Specifically for Wooden Furniture

The product annex was updated in September 2026. Delegated Regulation (EU) 2026/2102 updated Annex I to EUDR (EU) 2023/1115. Among the relevant code headings are, for example, ex 9403 30, ex 9403 40, ex 9403 50, ex 9403 60, and ex 9403 91 for certain wooden furniture and furniture parts; some wood-based seating furniture also has specific code headings under ex 9401. Used goods are excluded from these updated code headings. The code prefix ex means that the actual product must be compared against the limited product description, not just a number on the invoice.

The main rules begin to apply 30 December 2026 to medium and large affected operators and generally 30 June 2027 to qualified micro and small operators; special rules for wood under the previous timber regulation and older raw material shipments may change the assessment. This does not mean that all sellers, importers, and downstream companies must submit identical DDS declarations. Roles and evidence requirements differ after the 2025/2026 changes.

All Files and Their Functions

Excel with Nine Work Tabs

Overview: registered articles, shipments, administrative holds, and manually decided outcomes. Articles: CN code, wood component, and used status. Shipments: shipment ID, supplier, checks, risk decision, and manual attestation. Suppliers: evidence request, response, and responsibility. Wood species: component, scientific name, and harvesting country. Geo & harvesting: plot ID, time period, source evidence, and check status. Risk & measures: risk assessment, action plan, and residual risk. DDS & references: check of actually relevant document and e-system references. Read me & sources: instructions and original legal sources.

The Excel administrative control model requires that CN, wood species, and geo are marked as checked, the risk level is stated as negligible, a relevant evidence reference is filled in, and competent check attested. Then ”Control steps complete – manual decision” is displayed. If checks are missing or the risk is not negligible, ”HOLD – complete/check” is displayed. A separate person must always make an actual release decision after legal review.

Who Should Choose This Product?

Example 1: A Swedish furniture importer wants to buy new wooden desks from a country outside the EU and needs to be able to link the supplier's wood species data to actual shipments and harvesting evidence. Example 2: A Swedish furniture company buys cabinets or wood components within the EU and needs to check whether it is the first operator or downstream operator before requesting the correct certificates and references. Example 3: A wholesaler receives a shipment with incomplete geodata and needs to document the hold, completion requirements, and competent final check.

Choose another package for coffee beans only, general company policy work, furniture without relevant wood content, or if you need a technical GIS system, binding customs classification, actual TRACES/EU information system submission, or legal advice. For complete general EUDR procedures, see the Template Store's extensive EUDR Due Diligence Package; for the coffee food chain, see the EUDR Coffee Roastery Package. This package is specifically focused on wooden furniture components, product codes, supplier evidence, and shipment decisions.

Practical Use in Six Steps

1. Identify the product's actual CN code and compare it with the updated Annex I; check whether it actually contains relevant wood and whether the goods are new or used.
2. Determine per delivery whether you are the first operator, exporter, downstream operator, or trader. Assess the application date and relevant transitions.
3. Request missing information from the supplier for the correct article, wood component, and actual shipment.
4. Document wood species, harvesting country, relevant geodata, and traceable supply chain; assess whether the available information is reliable.
5. Assess risk, possible measures, and relevant obligations regarding DDS/references. Keep the shipment held if uncertainty remains.
6. Perform any actual EUIS/customs process in the correct external system and then document the competent manual decision.

Important Boundaries – Avoid Incorrect EUDR Claims

A CN code is not an automatic statement of scope; ex and the actual product characteristics must be checked. Used goods, goods of other materials, recycled waste, and special transitional situations may require a different assessment. Certifications such as FSC and PEFC can constitute supporting evidence but are not a legal approval on their own. Wood species and map data must refer to the correct material and harvesting area; a factory address does not replace relevant forest geolocation. The template does not assess legality automatically, does not check satellite data, and does not send any declaration to EUIS.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are all wooden furniture covered by EUDR?

No. Check the exact CN code, product description in Annex I, material, and exceptions. Wooden furniture in certain ex 9403 code headings may be covered; used goods are excluded from these headings after the 2026 change.

Do the rules already apply in November 2026?

The regulation is in force, but most of the obligations begin to apply on specific dates – typically December 30, 2026, or, for qualified micro/small operators, June 30, 2027. Wood products may have special transitional rules.

Must every furniture store submit a new DDS itself?

No, this cannot be stated generally. Check whether you are the first operator, downstream operator, or trader under the amended law.

Can goods be released automatically via Excel?

No. Excel only displays administrative control flags. A responsible person must make and document a separate legal and operational decision.

Is the English guide a finished English legal template?

No. The work documents and Excel are in Swedish. The English User Guide explains how the Swedish templates are used.

Can I fill in the PDF files?

The PDFs are searchable and printable, but not interactive forms. Edit the Word files and work in Excel for the registers.
