can I use the same due diligence statement for a subsequent delivery

No, each shipment requires its own declaration

A due diligence declaration relates to a specific consignment of goods, not to a supplier or product line in general. This means that a declaration submitted with an earlier shipment is generally not simply reused for a subsequent delivery, even if it involves the same supplier, the same consignment location and the same product. Each shipment undergoes its own due diligence process and receives its own declaration in the EU information system.

What can make a difference: if the underlying information has not changed (the same plots, the same risk assessment, the same documentation), drawing up a declaration again is mainly a matter of recalling the file rather than rebuilding it entirely. This is a practical distinction, not a legal one: the obligation to submit a declaration per shipment remains. More on that link between shipment and declaration can be found at the question of whether each shipment needs its own declaration. And for anyone wondering what exactly must be included in such a declaration before it is resubmitted, the answer can be found at the information that a due diligence declaration must contain.

Where this follows from the system of the Regulation

Regulation (EU) 2023/1115 links the due diligence obligation to the placing on the market or export of products, and this happens shipment by shipment: each time a consignment of goods enters the market, it must be accompanied by its own due diligence declaration to be submitted in the EU information system for the deforestation regulation. The Regulation does not provide for a declaration that is valid once and for all for future, as yet unknown shipments. Regulation (EU) 2025/2650 introduces postponements and simplifications to certain aspects of implementation, but does not change this starting point: it is the shipment that forms the reference point for the declaration.
