Questions
What buyers ask us
Who is responsible for EUDR on goods you import?
Neo Forest is the operator placing the product on the EU market, and will submit the Due Diligence Statements.
What documents can you pass through to us?
FSC, EUDR, CE/DoP and certificates of origin, as they apply to the products you buy.
Why buy from Vietnam?
EU anti-dumping duties of up to 86.8% on Chinese hardwood plywood have moved European buyers to other origins, and Vietnamese goods can enter the EU at 0% duty under the EUâVietnam Free Trade Agreement with proof of origin.
What if trade measures change?
Canada gives us a second origin, and we hold full origin documents for every shipment.
