As the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism rolls out, EU importers warn of reporting challenges, uneven competition, and global compliance gaps.

Beginning in 2026, EU importers will have to pay for importing CBAM goods with embedded emissions higher than thresholds set by the EC. These payments will only cover 2.5% of excess emissions in 2026 gradually increasing to 100% coverage in 2034.

As Q1 reporting period unfolds, it is becoming evident, that EU importers are getting ready to report their imported emissions for CBAM goods based on real values. We have seen a growing number of our clients turning in their emission data based on operator-supplied reports instead of reporting on EU provided default values.
