Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) – Consulting Services 

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is an EU regulation designed to prevent carbon leakage and promote global emissions reductions. CBAM imposes charges based on carbon dioxide emissions for certain goods imported into the EU. These include iron and steel products, fertilisers, aluminium, cement, hydrogen, and electricity. 

We help your company meet the requirements of the CBAM legislation and ensure that imported products comply with the applicable rules. 

Why Do CBAM Requirements Matter? 

The European Commission and Finnish Customs monitor CBAM registration and certificate compliance. Registered information may be inspected for up to four years from the reporting year. If the number of CBAM certificates submitted does not match the embedded emissions of the imported goods, the reporting company is obligated to pay a penalty. 

Many companies face challenges in understanding and communicating legal requirements to their suppliers. This can be especially difficult because the regulation is new, and suppliers may not yet have the data companies need for reporting. In some cases, internal knowledge of emissions accounting may also be limited. Allocating additional resources to reporting and supplier communication can be another obstacle.
