Should due diligence be repeated for products from the same Cocoa land?
The law is quite clear in some respects, but it leaves some other issues a bit fuzzy and difficult to understand. If anyone has clear ideas and a precise answer, without a doubt, I would like to meet them. Thanks for the help. I’m thrilled to connect with others with like-minded interests.

Yes, the obligation to furnish geolocation details in due diligence statements via the Information System pertains to each individual relevant product.
Operators (or traders not classified as SMEs) must provide this information each time they plan to market, make available, or export a relevant product.
Due diligence procedures must be conducted afresh for each relevant product, ensuring the provision of updated geolocation coordinates as necessary.
