# DDS & Orders Overview

> Manage orders and create Due Diligence Statements

In the final step of the EUDR compliance process, you link your compliance results to actual shipments. You import **orders**, create **Due Diligence Statements (DDS)**, and submit them via EU TRACES. Polygon One clearly distinguishes between **inbound DDS** for purchasing and import cases and **outbound DDS** for domestic production as well as downstream traceability.

<Info>
  By creating and submitting DDS, you fulfil the requirements under **Article 3 of the EUDR**. The DDS reference number and verification number are required by customs when goods are imported into the EU — without a valid DDS, your goods cannot be cleared.

<Info>
  When you open the **DDS** area in the app, you land on **DDS → Inbound** by default. From there, you can switch to **DDS → Outbound** as needed.
