CBAM Compliance
Does your company import industrial products from outside the EU?.The EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism is now mandatory. Thousands of companies already have legal obligations. We help you comply.
The CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) is the new EU regulation that requires importing companies to declare and offset the carbon emissions generated in producing certain goods outside the EU.
In simple terms: if you buy industrial products from India, China, Turkey or any country without a carbon price equivalent to Europe's, you now have legal obligations to the EU.
Expansion to more sectors expected from 2026
Companies that fail to correctly declare their CBAM imports can face fines of up to €50 per tonne of CO₂ not declared.
If your supplier is outside the EU, you need an accredited representative in the European Union to manage your CBAM declarations. Qualifying that representative involves a complex administrative process.
Declaration obligations are quarterly. The sooner you get your compliance in order, the less accumulated risk you carry. If you have not yet acted, now is the moment.
From applicability assessment to final declaration. We cover every step of the process so your company operates with full regulatory security.
We review your import portfolio and classify each product according to the CN codes affected by CBAM. We deliver a clear report indicating which imports are within scope, in what quantity and at what level of exposure with no ambiguity or unnecessary technical jargon.
The process of registering as a CBAM declarant with European customs authorities involves specific administrative requirements and strict deadlines. We guide you through every step: dossier preparation, authorisation management and clear definition of the periodic obligations that come with declarant status.
We determine the carbon footprint embedded in your imported products following the official CBAM methodology. We work directly with your suppliers to obtain, verify and document the required emission data and establish a traceability system so that data is available for every declaration.
We prepare and submit your CBAM declarations within legal deadlines, ensuring that emissions information is complete and verifiable. With the obligation to purchase CBAM certificates in force from 2026, we help you plan ahead: estimated volume, economic impact and acquisition strategy.
A commercial contract without specific CBAM clauses can leave critical questions unresolved: who provides the emission data? Who bears the cost if data arrives late or is incorrect? We draft and review the necessary clauses so that responsibilities are clear from the start of the commercial relationship.
CBAM compliance does not happen in an office - it happens in the logistics chain. We coordinate with your freight forwarder and customs department so that emission data collection, required documentation and declaration deadlines are integrated into your standard import operations.
CBAM is not just a legal obligation - it is an opportunity for companies that prepare well. Those who act first will have a competitive advantage over their suppliers and competitors.
