Product Data Upload (EUDR Context)

Prewave evaluates product data to ensure compliance with EUDR requirements across a diverse range of items. A product dataset is defined as the unique combination of your product reference and the corresponding supplying site reference. Product datasets can pertain to:

  • Inbound products (Import, Domestic (EU))

  • Outbound products (Export, Domestic (EU))

  • Associations between inbound and outbound products

Prewave offers a streamlined process for uploading product data using designated templates. You can check out the Discovery Template for supplier input requirements. Please ensure that all product data is complete and accurate prior to submission, as this information is critical to comply with EUDR.


You can download the EUDR Discovery Template here.

Please note that the validation of the supplier may take some time and does not happen immediately.


Important Considerations

  • Unique Identification: The combination of your product reference and your site reference must be unique to generate a distinct product dataset.

  • EUDR-Specific Requirement: Each supplier must have at least one designated connection contact to support supplier engagement activities. This includes sending out questionnaires (SMA) and requests for product origin information.

  • Mandatory Inbound–Outbound Association: Every outbound product must be linked to an inbound product record, ensuring a complete and verifiable dataset for EUDR compliance.

  • HS Code Requirements: For products with specific HS Codes (e.g. 44, 47, 48, 49, 9401, 9403)—particularly wood-related items—the inclusion of a scientific_name is mandatory to satisfy EUDR standards.

  • Supplier Verification: Prior to uploading any product data, ensure that all relevant supplier information has already been uploaded and validated on the Prewave Platform.

By following these guidelines and using the designated templates, you enable us to process your product data accurately for EUDR compliance.

New: Product Groups

Product Groups work in a similar way to collections but are specifically designed for products uploaded to Prewave. They allow you to create logical groupings of products depending on your internal use cases.

Examples of grouping include:

  • Buying/Selling Entity

This flexibility makes it easier to manage and analyze your product datasets within Prewave according to your organizational structure.

EORI Tab

The EORI (Economic Operators Registration and Identification) number is a mandatory requirement for all entities involved in cross-border trade within the EU. In this tab, you will need to provide key entity details such as company name, address, country, and the valid EORI number.

This information ensures that entities can be uniquely identified for compliance purposes and for entry into the EU TRACES system under EUDR. Please ensure that the EORI number follows the required format:

Example: FR12345678900014


The full list of parameters can be found in the template. The color coding is consistent throughout this export and the template:
