CBAM Compliance for Heavy-Industry Exporters

From Jan 2026 you pay — not your importer. Verified embedded-emissions data is the difference between default-value penalties and your actual margin.

The CBAM clock is real — and expensive

  • 🇪🇺 Definitive period live (Jan 2026) — financial obligation begins; quarterly declarations + annual surrender
  • 📊 Default values = penalty pricing — without verified data, your importer pays 30–60% above actual carbon cost
  • 🔍 Third-party verification mandatory — only EU-accredited verifiers under Reg. 2018/2067
  • 🏗️ Sector-specific MRV — different methodologies for cement clinker vs steel BOF/EAF vs aluminum smelter
  • 💸 Carbon leakage cliff — 2026–2034 free-allowance phase-out compounds annually

Our CBAM heavy-industry playbook

  • Installation-level inventory — direct + indirect emissions per CN code, per shipment
  • Verifier coordination — we pre-qualify with TÜV, DNV, SGS or your importer's preferred body
  • EU importer handover pack — populated CBAM communication template + supporting evidence
  • Default-value avoidance — primary-data routes mapped, calorific values documented
  • Free-allowance modelling — forecast your 2026–2034 carbon-cost exposure curve

Stop your importer charging back default-value penalties.
