SILVA CACAO will share geolocation data with clients the moment EUDR legislation enters into application – either   30/12/2024 or 30/12/2025 if the one-year phasing-in period is approved by Parliament and Council .

• For large clients, relevant geolocation data in GeoJSON format will be accessible via the EU IT system (TRACES), using the DDS number and security token provided on the SILVA CACAO sales invoice.
• For SME clients, storing geolocation data is not mandatory. The DDS number provided on the invoice will be sufficient to meet the requirements. .SILVA CACAO is at your disposal during audit of your competent authority to demonstrate compliance where needed.

Heads up! For cacao placed on the market before the EUDR enforcement date, the SILV ACAOCA invoice will specify that customs clearance was completed prior to the enforcement date. Therefore DDS and geolocation will not be mandatory.
