TimberSmart Ltd is proud to announce its expanded services supporting New Zealand timber manufacturers in complying with the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), which takes effect on 30 December2025.

This enhanced capability is powered by seamless integration with the Deeplai TimberID platform — a cutting-edge traceability solution designed and developed in the EU to meet EUDR requirements.

The EUDR requires proof that timber products entering the EU have not contributed to deforestation or forest degradation. This presents a significant challenge for New Zealand exporters operating in a rapidly evolving global regulatory landscape.

“Our integration with Deeplai TimberID provides a robust, streamlined solution. Clients can now confidently demonstrate both legality and sustainability of their products —securing continued access to the EU market.”
