Commission Implementing Regulation as regards the conditions and procedures related to the status of authorised CBAM declarant

The Commission is pleased to announce that the Implementing Regulation as regards the authorisation of CBAM declarants was adopted by the Commission on 17 March 2025 and is published on the Commission website.

This will allow importers and indirect customs representatives to apply for the status of authorised CBAM declarant to be able to import CBAM goods from 1 January 2026. 

The Commission will launch the Authorisation Management Module (AMM) on 31 March 2025 in the CBAM Registry, which is the module to be used by the importers and indirect customs representatives for the application process and the management of the authorisations by the competent authorities.   

Guidance detailing the authorisation process is available in the dedicated section “Authorisation Management Module” on the CBAM website. 

In line with the Commission’s commitment to simplify the CBAM Regulation, and the new proposal for a de minimis threshold of 50 tonnes mass, the Commission encourages the competent authorities to advise importers who expect to exceed the de minimis threshold for the import of CBAM goods to apply for an authorisation as soon as possible. In the same vein, importers who do not expect to exceed the threshold should be invited to wait until early autumn to submit an application for authorisation.
