Submit EUDR DDS to EU TRACES

The /submit_eudr_dds endpoint submits an EUDR Due Diligence Statement (DDS) to the EU TRACES EUDR SOAP API.

This endpoint is typically used after you have processed one or more collections via the Batch APIs and want to submit the resulting geolocations + statement metadata to TRACES.

Endpoint

POST /submit_eudr_dds

What it does

  • Collects (or accepts) the GeoJSON geolocation payload for submission
  • Formats the DDS payload according to the TRACES EUDR SOAP schema
  • Submits the statement to TRACES
  • Stores the returned identifiers for later retrieval

Inputs

You can provide the submission payload in either of these ways:

  • Submit from collections (recommended)
  • Provide collections and let the API fetch the required staged EUDR payload + geolocations
  • Submit with an explicit GeoJSON
  • Provide geojson_file (upload) or geojson_base64 (base64 string)
  • Provide the required statement fields via query params (operator/product/etc.)

Parameters

Form / file inputs

Parameter Type Required Description
geojson_file file No* Upload a GeoJSON file for submission
geojson_base64 str No* Base64-encoded GeoJSON string for submission

* Provide either geojson_file or geojson_base64 if you are not submitting from collections.

Response

Returns JSON including the identifiers returned by TRACES (reference + verification numbers) and submission metadata.

Notes / constraints

  • Payload size limit: the TRACES SOAP submission has a 25 MB limit for the GeoJSON payload; the endpoint validates this.
  • Environment: the implementation defaults to the TRACES acceptance WSDL.
  • /export_eudr_dds: generate the TRACES-ready GeoJSON + PDF audit trail as a ZIP
  • /retrieve_eudr_dds: retrieve DDS status/info from TRACES and optionally update stored values
