Iron & steel, aluminium, cement, or fertiliser

None of these (e.g. textiles, leather, food, electronics)

How this checker works

CBAM covers iron & steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, hydrogen and electricity. Under the 2025 Omnibus simplification, importers bringing 50 tonnes or less of CBAM-covered goods into the EU per calendar year (cumulative, across all covered goods) are exempt — except hydrogen and electricity, which don't benefit from this exemption. Certificate purchases begin 1 February 2027, but reporting and data-collection obligations apply from 2026.

This is a fast screening tool, not a formal customs or legal determination.
The 50-tonne threshold is cumulative for the whole year, not per shipment — splitting orders doesn't help.
