EUDR

A coordinate locates the land.
It does not establish legality.

Whether a commodity was produced in accordance with the law of its country of production is an Indonesian legal question.

Legality is established
where the facts sit.

A geolocation file establishes where a plot is. It does not establish that it is lawfully held, that its permit was validly issued, that no customary claim sits over it, or that the harvest was lawfully produced. Those questions are answered in Indonesian land registers, forestry instruments, and administrative offices.

This firm examines the question where it is decided.

Where an evidence
chain breaks.

  1. Supplier records that do not establish title or the legal basis of production.
  2. Coordinates that cannot be connected to land rights and valid permits.
  3. Supply contracts without enforceable obligations to provide legality evidence.

From the plot
to the legal opinion.

Title, permits, community rights, traceability, and the contract that allocates their risk.

  • Origin-country legality opinions identifying the instruments examined, the basis, and the limits.
  • Field legal due diligence: plot visits, register searches, land office checks, and interviews with occupants and customary claimants.
  • Review of supplier due diligence against the actual obligation and what the supplier can realistically document.
  • Legality warranties, evidence obligations, inspection rights, and remedies on failure.
  • Assessment of what SVLK, ISPO, and RSPO documentation establishes for the stated purpose.
