FAQ - What importers need to know about CBAM

What is CBAM, and does it apply to me?

CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) is an EU regulation that imposes a carbon price on certain imported goods to prevent carbon leakage and align climate costs between EU and non-EU producers.

If you're importing goods like steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, electricity, and hydrogen into the EU, CBAM applies to you.

What exactly do I need to report and when?

You’ll need to submit quarterly reports on the GHG emissions embedded in your imported goods. This includes direct and, in some cases, indirect emissions from production. The first report was due in January 2024, with reporting continuing until the full mechanism takes effect in 2026.

Are there penalties if I don’t comply with the CBAM Regulation?

Yes. If you miss a report or submit incorrect data, you could face penalties between EUR 10 and EUR 50 for every tonne of unreported emissions. On top of that, non-compliance may lead to customs delays, so it's worth getting it right from the start.

How do I get the data I need from my suppliers?

It starts with transparency. Your suppliers need to understand CBAM requirements and provide verified emissions data. We help you identify gaps, request the right information, and build a practical process that fits into your current import routines.
