Readiness
25% covered(3/12 present or Alt→)
6 not present — hard gaps. Required evidence is missing; do not treat this pack as ready for an operator DDS.
3 Alt→ — lawful substitutes, not automatic failures.
3 deferred — expected at a later hop or named shipment.
Forest → supplier (Rừng → nhà cung cấp)
Species, product & quantity
Reg (EU) 2023/1115 Art. 9(1)(a)–(c)
Primary: Forest-product listing (bảng kê lâm sản / BKLS)
Alt→: Purchase listing (bảng kê thu mua)
Reconcile species and quantity on the BKLS with any purchase listing.
Not present — required evidence is missing for this hop. Treat as a hard gap before an operator can rely on the pack.
Country of production
Reg (EU) 2023/1115 Art. 9(1)(d)
Primary: Forest-product listing (bảng kê lâm sản / BKLS); Geolocation data + plot map (tọa độ / bản đồ lô)
Not present — required evidence is missing for this hop. Treat as a hard gap before an operator can rely on the pack.
Geolocation of all plots + production period
Reg (EU) 2023/1115 Art. 9(1)(d)
Primary: Geolocation data + plot map (tọa độ / bản đồ lô)
No substitute. Plot coordinates + production period are mandatory under Art. 9.
Not present — required evidence is missing for this hop. Treat as a hard gap before an operator can rely on the pack.
Deforestation-free (Art. 3)
Reg (EU) 2023/1115 Art. 3 + Art. 9
Primary: Geolocation data + plot map (tọa độ / bản đồ lô)
Use geolocation for screening. Harvest/replant on pre-2020 plantation can show canopy loss without being Art. 3 deforestation.
Not present — required evidence is missing for this hop. Treat as a hard gap before an operator can rely on the pack.
Legality under production-country law
Reg (EU) 2023/1115 Art. 9(1)(g)–(h)
Primary: Forest-product listing (bảng kê lâm sản / BKLS)
Right to use the land
Reg (EU) 2023/1115 Art. 9(1)(h) (land-use rights)
Primary: Land-use right certificate (Giấy chứng nhận QSDĐ / sổ đỏ)
Alt→: Commune People’s Committee attestation (xác nhận UBND xã)
Where a red book is not the operative tenure document, an UBND xã attestation can be adequately conclusive right-to-use evidence for many household plots.
Supplier & buyer identity
Reg (EU) 2023/1115 Art. 9(1)(e)–(f)
Primary: Seller identity documents (giấy tờ định danh người bán); VAT e-invoice (hóa đơn điện tử GTGT)
Alt→: Purchase listing (bảng kê thu mua); Cash payment voucher (phiếu chi)
Household sellers often issue no VAT e-invoice. A purchase listing + phiếu chi together form a verifiable commercial/party trail.

FAQ
Is this tool a Due Diligence Statement?
No. It helps prepare and self-assess an evidence pack. The EU operator or importer files the DDS (including via TRACES) under EUDR Art. 4/5. A mill’s Article 9 pack feeds that diligence — it is not itself a DDS.
Is a Kiểm lâm ranger stamp always required on the BKLS?
No. For household planted production forest under Circular 26/2022 Art. 15(3), an owner-made BKLS is the default pathway. Ranger certification is required for natural forest under Art. 15(1).
Does FSC or PEFC replace geolocation?
No. Certified chain of custody can support risk assessment, but Art. 9 still requires geolocation of all plots and the other information elements. FSC/PEFC never substitutes for plot coordinates.
