FAQ
What are the most important CBAM obligations entering into force in 2026? |
Starting in 2026, companies importing CBAMcovered goods into the EU will need to move from transitional reporting to full financial compliance. Key obligations include:
These obligations will directly affect customs processes, supplier data collection and financial planning. |
How will CBAM impact the cost of imported goods and contracts with suppliers? |
CBAM is expected to create a tangible cost impact, especially for carbonintensive products such as steel, aluminium and fertilizers. Importers may face higher purchasing costs due to the need to buy CBAM certificates. This will require many companies to renegotiate supplier contracts, update pricing models and adjust risksharing arrangements - particularly when sourcing from nonEU regions with limited emissions data. |
What challenges may companies face when collecting emissions data from nonEU suppliers? |
Many nonEU suppliers are still unfamiliar with EU reporting standards, which creates challenges such as:
|
How will CBAM affect exporters from nonEU countries and importers operating in EU supply chains? |
CBAM introduces a new cost and compliance layer for nonEU exporters selling goods into the EU. Exporters may need to adjust pricing, provide detailed emissions data and review supply chain processes. For EU importers, the regulation impacts customs clearance, sourcing decisions and logistics routes - particularly when using indirect imports, hubs or transshipment points. The session will also examine the interaction between CBAM, the UK ETS and potential UK CBAM mechanisms. |
