EUDR GeoJSON warning: Point Area from 0.0001 to below 0.1 hectares needs review

The current V3 API reference starts at 0.0001 hectares, while older validation guidance states 0.1 hectares. Clearlane does not treat this unresolved range as a confirmed pass.

What the check requires

The current V3 API reference permits Point Area from 0.0001 hectares, while the older validation guide states 0.1 hectares. Acceptance parity is not yet proven, so this value remains review-gated.

A warning — it does not block deterministic validation, but it remains recorded for review.

Why this is reported

The same value is described differently by two official technical sources from different releases. Until acceptance parity is proven, automatically choosing the more favourable threshold would hide a real uncertainty.

This is a review warning about a technical-source conflict. It is not evidence that the value will be rejected or accepted, and it says nothing about deforestation or due-diligence compliance.

How it gets fixed

First confirm the Area value and its unit. If a reliable boundary is available, use the polygon so the filing does not depend on the disputed point range.

If a point must be used, keep the warning with your evidence and confirm the currently accepted minimum with the EUDR Information System support channel or the relevant competent authority before filing.
