What CBAM is

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism is an EU regulation which aims to ensure that the carbon emissions of third country production is taken into account through an additional duty charged on the import of such goods into the EU. The objective is to make sure that EU importers do not circumvent the EU objective of reducing in half the EU’s carbon emissions by 2055.

Import Obligation

CBAM is an EU regulation which is implemented at the EU border through the import declaration process.  As a result, CBAM is administered by each of the EU national customs authorities. The first task is to confirm which authorities you will be dealing with. We then need to look at their rules for CBAM compliance.
