Yes, the legality requirement (Art. 3(b)) must be met alongside the ‘deforestation-free’ requirement (Art. 3(a)) and the need for commodities or products to be covered by a due diligence statement (Art. 3(c)). Compliance with Art. 3(b) necessitates adherence to relevant legislation in the country of production.
