# Does the July 2026 Change to EUDR Annex I Apply Yet? Source: https://activatedigital.ai/knowledge/regulation/eudr-annex-i-change Last verified: 12 September 2026 Summary: No. The Commission adopted C(2026) 4920 on 13 July 2026, it enters into force the day after publication, and it is not published. Which Annex I to use. ## Direct answer **No, not as at 12 September 2026. Classify against the Annex I in the consolidated Regulation. The Commission adopted the delegated act on 13 July 2026, its own Article 2 says it enters into force the day following publication in the Official Journal, and it has not been published.** The act is Commission Delegated Regulation C(2026) 4920, amending Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 as regards the list of relevant commodities and relevant products. On EUR-Lex it appears as a Commission-adopted delegated regulation with no Official Journal reference and no published regulation number. That combination is the whole answer. An adopted delegated act is a real document with real contents and no legal effect on your scope until the day after it is published. ## Which Annex I to use today The one in the consolidated Regulation (EU) 2023/1115. If your classification work has already been done against it, nothing has to change today. If you have been handed a list that includes the July changes and told it is the current scope, it is not, and the page you are reading is the reason. The three-part scope test itself does not move: what is the product's correct Combined Nomenclature classification, is that code or description in the current Annex I, and which relevant commodity is connected to it. That test and the rest of the scope question belong to [the EUDR page](https://activatedigital.ai/knowledge/regulation/eudr). ## What the act is for Its recitals give three reasons, and they are worth reading because they tell you the direction of travel rather than the detail: - legal certainty for operators, downstream operators, traders and competent authorities about which categories of products fall within scope; - stopping downstream derived products of certain relevant commodities reaching the Union market without the obligations applying; - preventing the relocation of deforestation risk, which would undermine the Regulation's purpose. So the shape of the change is a scope boundary being tidied, in both directions. Some derived products are brought in, some entries are narrowed or removed, and some categories are clarified. A business whose products sit near the edge of a current Annex I entry should expect to re-run the test when the act is published, in both directions. This page does not reproduce the amended entries. The act is the list, and a second-hand copy of a list that has not yet taken effect is the worst of both: not authoritative, and not yet relevant. ## What to do now - Keep classifying against the current Annex I. That is the operative list. - Record which Annex I version each classification decision was made against. A decision with no version against it cannot be re-run cheaply when the list moves. - For products near the boundary of a current entry, note them as re-run candidates rather than reclassifying them now against a list that is not in force. - Watch for publication, not for adoption. Adoption has already happened. Publication is the event. ## Why this page exists separately from the EUDR page Because it has a different lifetime. The EUDR page states the scope test, the dates and the data. Those are durable. Whether one particular delegated act has been published is a fact with a short shelf life, and the moment it changes, every sentence on this page changes with it. Keeping the two apart means the durable page does not have to be re-verified every fortnight to stay true, and this one can be. ## Review cadence This page is reviewed every two weeks until the act is published, and immediately on publication. What a review checks: - whether C(2026) 4920 has an Official Journal reference and a published regulation number; - whether it has been objected to, withdrawn or replaced; - whether the consolidated Regulation's Annex I has changed for any other reason. On publication this page's answer inverts, and the amended Annex I becomes the list the scope test runs against. ## What would change this answer Everything on this page turns on one fact: whether the act has been published in the Official Journal. Recheck if: - C(2026) 4920 is published, at which point it enters into force the following day; - the European Parliament or the Council objects to it; - the Commission adopts a further delegated act amending Annex I; - Annex I is amended by any other instrument. **Last verified 12 September 2026.** ## Keep exploring The questions this page usually raises next. - [CompareNext questionEUDR: Dates, Geolocation Data and What Product Teams Actually NeedMain EUDR obligations apply from 30 December 2026, and 30 June 2027 for qualifying micro and small undertakings.→](https://activatedigital.ai/knowledge/regulation/eudr) - [CompareNext questionEU Product Regulation Action Radar: What Applies Now and What Businesses Need to DoEU product rules sorted into applies now, starts later and still pending, with the date and the action each one creates.→](https://activatedigital.ai/knowledge/regulation/what-applies-today) - [Related questionNext questionDigital Product Passport Regulatory Change LogA dated record of material EU Digital Product Passport legal, standards and Registry changes, with the Knowledge pages each change…→](https://activatedigital.ai/knowledge/status/dpp-regulatory-change-log) ## Sources and legal basis - [Commission Delegated Regulation C(2026) 4920, adopted 13 July 2026](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=PI_COM:C(2026)4920) - [Regulation (EU) 2023/1115, consolidated text](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:02023R1115-20251226)
