CBAM Consultancy Package

Background

The European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) came into force in 2023.

It applies to European importers of products in the following categories: Cement, Iron & Steel, Aluminium, Fertiliser and Hydrogen.

When importing, the EU importer of record is now legally responsible for providing information to the EU about the Carbon Impact of their imported products.

The problem

UK exporters have a commercial responsibility to provide accurate carbon emissions data to their EU importers to facilitate compliance with the EU CBAM regulations.

From July 2024, EU importers are required to use actual emissions data wherever possible, replacing default values. UK exporters must ensure that they can provide this data accurately, including both direct and indirect emissions, to meet these requirements.

It’s crucial to act now to prepare for these changes, ensuring your business can continue to trade smoothly with EU partners under the CBAM framework. Failure to provide this information could result in penalties or loss of business.
