EUDR GeoJSON rejected: geometry type not accepted

A production place must be a Point, Polygon or MultiPolygon — lines and other geometry types are refused.

Blocking Fix at the source

What the check requires

Each production place must be a Point, Polygon or MultiPolygon — lines and other geometry types are not accepted by the EUDR Information System.

A blocking error — the EUDR information system refuses the file until it is resolved.

Why files fail this check

The most common cause is a boundary recorded as a GPS track: walking the field edge produces a LineString, and many tools export it unchanged. A line has no interior, so the registry cannot compute an area from it.

GeometryCollections, missing geometries and other exotic types fail for the same reason — the EUDR information system only understands points and polygons.

How it gets fixed

Converting a line into a polygon is a mapping decision, not a mechanical fix — the engine cannot know whether your track was a closed boundary or an open path, so nothing is changed automatically.

In your GIS tool, convert the recorded track into a polygon (most tools call this "line to polygon" or "close path"), then run the check again. Plots below the polygon threshold can be submitted as a single point instead.
