CBAM report: XML

Receive your CBAM report as an XML file for automatic upload to the CBAM registry

1. Email us to set us a brief 5-15 minutes call/conference meeting to discuss your CBAM reporting needs and the condition of your data.

2. Send us your imports and emissions data. You can use our template or share it in its current format—even if it’s unstructured! You may forward the emissions data you received from your suppliers using the Communication Template for Installations (CTI)

3. We will process your data, create an XML file, attach all supplemental documents (supplier communication), verify the file with the CBAM registry, and send it to you error-free. You will only need to spend less than a minute to upload it.

Check your CBAM obligations. If you answer "Yes" to all of the following, you must file a CBAM report.

1

Check if your items fall under CBAM with our CBAM Checker™

CBAM legislation covers 752 CN codes from six sectors: Iron&Steel, Aluminium, Fertilizers, Cement, Electricity, and Hydrogen
2

Make sure your items originate from outside the EU

Items produced in the EU do not need to be reported. However, if your items underwent their last, substantial processing, resulting in a new product or representing an important stage of manufacture outside the EU - reporting is needed.
3

Check value of CBAM goods in consignment > €150

Consignment refers to products that are either (a) sent simultaneously from one exporter to one consignee; or (b) covered by a single transport document covering their shipment from the exporter to the consignee or, in the absence of such document, by a single invoice.
Value of goods refers to the total intrinsic value of CBAM goods in the consignment.

Check your purpose of import: "released for free circulation"

You can file your CBAM report AUTOMATICALLY by importing an XML file with all your data!

Fast: it takes < 1 minute to import a report!
Convenient: you do not need to read hundreds of EU guidelines to become an expert in emission accounting and classification.
Error-free: we validate all reports with the CBAM registry before sending it to you for import.

You can file your CBAM report MANUALLY:

Long: it may take hours to file a report comprising >5 CN codes and several suppliers
Complex: you may need to spend significant time studying EU guidelines on CBAM reporting
Errors: manual entry of large arrays of data often results in mistakes, which may lead to penalties!

Here are key steps of the process with screenshots:

Fill in an Excel template (download from here, send here)

We have created a simplified Microsoft Excel CBAM report template. It's convenient and easy to fill. You will be supported at every step. Input forms have explicit guidance and built-in data validity checks.
