What it requires (3 obligations)

Three cumulative conditions, and the third is a document rather than a property of the goods — a genuinely deforestation-free hide still fails Article 3 without a due diligence statement. The prohibition reaches EXPORT as well as placing on the market, so an EU tannery shipping out is inside it. Textiles enter through cattle: leather is a relevant product derived from a relevant commodity. Nothing in this Regulation says "textile", "fabric" or "fibre", so it will not be found by searching for the material.
Quoted from Article 3 of Regulation (EU) 2023/1115, base text CELEX 32023R1115 (387,630 bytes delivered).
Operators must exercise due diligence in accordance with Article 8 before placing relevant products on the market or exporting them, in order to prove compliance with Article 3, and may not place them on the market or export them without prior submission of a due diligence statement.

The statement is submitted BEFORE the goods move, not compiled afterwards, which makes this a gating step in the shipping process rather than a record-keeping duty. Due diligence must prove compliance, so the burden sits with the operator rather than with an enforcement authority.
Quoted from Article 4(1) and 4(2).
Articles 3 to 13, 16 to 24, and 26, 31 and 32 apply from 30 December 2025. For operators that were established as micro-undertakings or small undertakings as at 31 December 2020 under Article 3(1) or (2) of Directive 2013/34/EU, those Articles apply from 30 June 2026, except as regards products covered in the Annex to Regulation (EU) No 995/2010.

The deferral is keyed to what the operator WAS on 31 December 2020, not to what it is today — a business that has since grown past the small-undertaking thresholds still takes the June 2026 date, and one that has since shrunk does not. Anyone reading the unamended Regulation gets dates twelve months early.
Quoted from Article 38(2) and (3) AS REPLACED by Article 1(3) of Regulation (EU) 2024/3234 of 19 December 2024. The base text of 2023/1115 still carries the superseded dates.
This is a register, not advice. It records what an instrument says and when it applies. Whether it applies to a particular company, product or shipment is a question for somebody who knows that business, and the answer is frequently not what the summary above would suggest.
