EU CBAM Consultancy Package

Supporting your business with embedded emissions calculations and CBAM compliance

The EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is now in its definitive regime, meaning embedded carbon emissions directly determine the financial liability for EU importers.

As a result, EU customers are increasingly requiring accurate, consistent and defensible emissions data from their UK and international suppliers.

If you would like to understand the regulation in more detail, you can explore our EU CBAM: A Practical Guide.

ChamberCustoms provides structured CBAM consultancy for businesses that require clarity, calculation support, and a robust monitoring framework aligned with EU requirements.

We support you with the calculation, documentation, and governance needed to meet these expectations confidently.

The Challenge for Exporters

While the legal obligation to submit CBAM declarations rests with the EU importer, suppliers must still provide robust supporting data.

Non-EU Suppliers Must Provide

• Embedded emissions data

• Calculation methodology

• Supporting documentation

• Consistent reporting structures

Common Challenges

• Uncertainty whether goods fall within scope

• Lack of structured emissions data

• Difficulty apportioning emissions

• Governance and documentation gaps

• Preparing for verification requirements

CBAM is now a commercial and compliance issue. Data quality directly influences customer confidence and pricing discussions.

Without a structured framework, emissions reporting can quickly become reactive, inconsistent and commercially exposed.

Our Structured Consultancy Approach

Our approach is designed to move businesses from uncertainty to a clear, defensible and repeatable CBAM compliance position.

Following an initial discovery discussion to assess potential scope and exposure, we provide structured support to help UK exporters establish a defensible EU CBAM compliance position.

Our consultancy engagement typically includes:

• Reviewing production processes and emissions data inputs relevant to CBAM

• Establishing an embedded emissions methodology aligned with EU CBAM requirements

• Calculating final embedded emissions figures for disclosure to EU customers

• Documenting assumptions and allocation principles used within the calculation

• Aligning outputs with EU reporting expectations for the definitive regime

For those who do not require embedded emission calculations, we also provide stockist support and software.

What You Will Receive

• Final calculated embedded emissions figures, suitable for sharing with EU customers

• A formal CBAM Monitoring and Reporting Policy tailored to your business, including documented methodology and key assumptions

• Structured emissions tables aligned with EU CBAM reporting requirements

• Practical guidance to support internal record-keeping and future reporting cycles

• A remote follow-up session to review findings and address questions

Where required, we can provide continued annual calculation and reporting support, reflecting production changes or regulatory developments.

Who This Is Suitable For

This consultancy package is particularly suited to:

• UK exporters supplying CBAM-covered goods to the EU

• Businesses whose EU customers are requesting emissions data

• Companies operating under DDP arrangements

• Organisations seeking to formalise emissions governance

The Importance of Accurate Classification

Whether goods fall within EU CBAM scope is determined by the correct commodity code applied at import. Incorrect classification can lead to:

• Goods being wrongly treated as in or out of CBAM scope

• Inaccurate financial exposure

• Disputes or uncertainty with EU importers

While scope exposure is explored during initial discussions, formal commodity code classification reviews are available as a separate ChamberCustoms service where required.

Accurate classification remains a fundamental foundation of CBAM compliance.
