Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about CBAM compliance for manufacturers
What industries are covered by the EU CBAM?
CBAM currently covers cement, iron and steel, aluminium, fertilizers, electricity, and hydrogen. Its scope is limited to basic materials and semi-finished products, although some finished goods are also included.
What are manufacturers' obligations during the CBAM transitional phase (2023-2025)?
During the transitional phase, manufacturers exporting CBAM-covered goods to the EU must provide data on the embedded GHG emissions —both direct and indirect— associated with their products. This information enables EU importers to fulfill their quarterly reporting obligations under CBAM.
What are manufacturers' obligations during the CBAM definitive phase? (From 2026)
During the CBAM definitive phase, manufacturers must verify the emissions data they share with EU importers.
Is there a de minimis threshold for manufacturers?
No, there is no de minimis threshold for manufacturers. If you supply CBAM-covered goods to EU importers falling under the CBAM scope, or to other manufacturers who export to the EU, you should be prepared to provide the necessary emissions data, regardless of the quantity.
Are there penalties for manufacturers who do not provide emissions data?
While manufacturers are not directly subject to legal penalties under CBAM, failure to provide accurate emissions data can have commercial consequences. EU importers may opt to use default emission values, which are typically higher than actual emissions, potentially making your products less competitive in the EU market.
Do manufacturers have to pay for the embedded emissions of their products?
No, the financial responsibility for embedded emissions lies with EU importers, who will be required to purchase CBAM certificates starting in 2026. However, manufacturers should be aware that higher reported emissions can increase CBAM costs for importers, potentially affecting the competitiveness of their products.
Can carbon prices paid in the country of origin be deducted?
Yes. If a carbon price has been paid in the country of origin for the embedded emissions of the imported goods, this cost can be fully deducted from the CBAM obligation. You will need to provide importers with evidence of such payments.
