TRACES NT (TRAde Control and Expert System New Technology) is a European Commission platform that hosts several specialised systems. The Commission's EUDR Information System guide identifies the EUDR Information System as one of those tools and says it supports Due Diligence Statements and simplified declarations.

Is the EUDR Information System the same as TRACES NT?

No. The European Commission describes the EUDR Information System as a specialised online tool of the TRACES platform. It has EUDR-specific production and acceptance links, and each environment requires its own registration.

Where do I log in to file a DDS?

Use the production EUDR login at eudr.webcloud.ec.europa.eu/tracesnt/login to file a declaration with legal effect. The Commission lists acceptance.eudr.webcloud.ec.europa.eu/tracesnt/login for training and testing and states that registration in one environment does not register you in the other.

Do I need an EU Login account?

Yes. The European Commission's TRACES guidance states that an EU Login account is required to access TRACES. Create or use your EU Login account, then complete the EUDR Information System registration required for the environment you need.

Do I register separately for the EUDR production and acceptance servers?

Yes. The European Commission's Information System guide states that registration in acceptance does not grant registration or access in production, and vice versa. Complete the required registration separately in each environment you need to use.

Can I submit a simplified declaration in the EUDR Information System?

Yes. The Commission's Information System and roles guides confirm that the system supports simplified declarations. They are for qualifying micro and small primary operators under the amended regulation, not a general alternative to a DDS.

Do all downstream operators and traders need an EUDR Information System account?

No. The Commission's current roles guide says non-SME downstream operators and traders must register, while SME downstream operators and traders do not have to register. SME includes micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises, so medium-sized downstream operators and traders do not register. Your legal activity and company status determine the applicable obligations.

Can I check whether a DDS reference number is valid?

Yes. Commission FAQ v5, section 7.25, confirms that the Information System checks DDS reference numbers, simplified-declaration identifiers, and related verification numbers through a dedicated feature that also accepts CSV files.

EUDR Information System

TRACES NT for EUDR: login, registration, and roles

TRACES NT hosts the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) Information System, where Due Diligence Statements and simplified declarations are filed. The EUDR Information System is a separate system from the TRACES NT you may already use for sanitary and phytosanitary certificates — its own URL, its own registration, its own roles.

If you arrived looking for SPS certificates, health certificates or import controls, that is a different part of TRACES and this page will not help. If you need the EUDR login, registration steps, or testing environment, start below.

European Commission: EUDR Information System guide

The two environments

Both require an EU Login account, but registration in one environment does not register you in the other. Know which one you are in before you file anything.

Production (LIVE)

https://eudr.webcloud.ec.europa.eu/tracesnt/login

Submit Due Diligence Statements and simplified declarations with legal effect. Use this environment only for real filings.

Acceptance (testing)

https://acceptance.eudr.webcloud.ec.europa.eu/tracesnt/login

Training, integration testing, and trialling API submissions. Nothing filed here has legal effect.

Getting access, in order

Create an EU Login account

The European Commission's TRACES guidance states that an EU Login account is required to access the platform. Create the account before starting the EUDR Information System registration.

Register in the EUDR Information System

Registration is separate from EU Login and from any TRACES NT access you hold for sanitary or phytosanitary work. Production and acceptance also require separate registrations. Register the legal entity, then request access against it.

Request access that matches your legal role

Identify your EUDR role from what the legal entity actually does in the supply chain and its company status. Then request the matching system access. A TRACES NT selection does not decide or change the entity's legal obligations.

Test on acceptance before you file on production

The Commission describes acceptance as a replica of production with the same functions, but submissions there have no legal value. Use it for training, familiarisation, and testing before working in production.

Who must register in the EUDR Information System?

Upstream operators register to submit a DDS. Qualifying micro and small primary operators use a simplified declaration. Non-SME downstream operators and traders must register but do not submit declarations. SME here includes micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises, so medium-sized downstream operators and traders do not have to register either. This registration classification is separate from the EUDR application-date categories.

What trips people up

TRACES NT access is not EUDR access

The EUDR Information System is a specialised tool within the TRACES platform. Use the EUDR-specific production or acceptance link and complete the registration required for that environment.

GeoJSON is the bulk-upload format

You can draw production areas on the map, enter coordinates, or upload locations in bulk. For bulk location uploads, use GeoJSON. Do not upload a shapefile, KML file, or ordinary coordinate CSV in its place.

Source: Commission Information System guide

Coordinate precision is corrected, not rejected

Article 2(28) requires at least six decimal digits for latitude and longitude. FAQ v5, section 7.17, says the system validates the number of digits and fills missing decimal places with zeroes when fewer than six are supplied.

Scheduled maintenance is announced

FAQ v5, section 7.11, says the system is designed for high availability and continuous access. Short maintenance periods are scheduled for updates and announced in advance in the system's News section.

Is the EUDR Information System available now?

Yes. The European Commission currently provides both the production and acceptance environments. Production is for real declarations with legal effect. Acceptance is a replica for training, familiarisation, and testing; submissions there do not demonstrate EUDR compliance. Teams building bulk submissions should treat acceptance as the test environment for the EUDR TRACES NT API integration.

Register separately in each environment. If you are preparing for the 30 December 2026 application date, use acceptance to test the process, data, and geolocation files before filing in production.

The Commission does not commit to an uptime percentage. FAQ v5, section 7.11, says that contingency measures for unplanned outages will be published and that scheduled maintenance is announced through the system’s News section.
