Where should I start?+
Start with the imported product and its CN / HS classification. Scope screening should come before emissions or cost modelling.
Can I use an HS code to check CBAM scope?+
An HS code can be useful for initial screening, but EU CBAM product scope is tied to the applicable CN classification. Confirm the final code against current official EU sources.
What information should I request from a supplier?+
Collect product identification, production-site and route information, the emissions value, its reporting period and the methodology or supporting data used to derive it.
What if I do not know the embedded emissions?+
Do not invent an emissions factor. Identify whether supplier actual data or an applicable official alternative should be used for the product and assessment period.
What does the CBAM calculator provide?+
The calculator is a planning model that organises quantity, embedded-emissions and certificate-price assumptions into an estimated exposure. It is not a substitute for a formal declaration or legal determination.
Can I save the calculation?+
Calculator inputs can be carried into the CBAM assessment report, which is designed to show key assumptions and unresolved items for review.
Is CBAMTools an official EU service?+
No. CBAMTools is an independent information and calculation platform and is not affiliated with the European Commission.
Screen the product code first. If the product needs further CBAM review, continue to the calculator and assessment report.
