What importers should prepare
Identify the product
Verify the customs classification and whether the goods are within CBAM scope.
Prepare emissions inputs
Organise the relevant embedded-emissions information for the imported product.
Review potential impact
Use consistent quantity and price inputs to estimate possible CBAM exposure.
Use classification as the starting point
CBAM coverage is tied to the relevant product classification. Confirm the code for the actual goods, then connect that classification to the emissions and shipment data used in your assessment.
Keep your evidence together
Retain the product classification, supplier information and assumptions used for each assessment so the result can be reviewed and updated.
