What you need before calculating

A useful estimate starts with consistent product and emissions data. Gather the information below before using the calculator.

Product classification

Identify the relevant CN or HS code and confirm whether the goods fall within CBAM scope.

Import quantity

Use a consistent quantity and unit for the shipment or reporting period you want to assess.

Embedded emissions

Collect supplier or installation emissions information applicable to the covered goods.

Carbon price inputs

Use the appropriate certificate-price assumptions when modelling potential cost.

A simple calculation workflow

  1. Check coverage.Start with the product code and CBAM category.
  2. Enter shipment data.Add quantity and the emissions information available to you.
  3. Review the estimate.Use the result as a planning input, then verify the regulatory treatment and source data.
Planning estimate, not a legal determination

Actual CBAM obligations depend on the applicable rules, product classification, verified emissions information and other regulatory inputs.
