What importers should prepare
Verify the CN code
Do not rely only on the commercial product name when checking coverage.
Collect product data
Prepare quantity, origin and available supplier emissions information.
Run an estimate
Use the calculator to model potential exposure with documented assumptions.
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.
