Factsheets
Factsheets available in several languages on the Publications Office website.
CBAM requires EU importers of certain goods to become authorised CBAM declarants, report the embedded carbon emissions in these goods, and meet related financial obligations. By 30 September 2027, importers of CBAM goods must submit their first CBAM declaration - covering embedded emissions from 2026 imports - and surrender the corresponding CBAM certificates. Importers can report emissions using default values provided by the Commission or actual values. If an importer chooses to report actual values, the producer in the third country must provide verified emissions data on the total embedded emissions.
From 1 January 2026, EU importers - or their indirect customs representatives - importing more than the single mass-based threshold of 50 tonnes of CBAM goods into the EU need a CBAM account number or application reference number under the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)
