The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) represents a significant shift in global trade policy and environmental compliance. This webinar recording provides a comprehensive step-by-step guide through the CBAM process, from registration to reporting and implementation. Learn from experts about the practical requirements companies need to meet, the timelines involved, and how to prepare for the transition phase of this new regulatory framework.

Introduction to the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism is a new EU regulatory framework designed to ensure that the costs of carbon emissions are included in the price of imported goods. The mechanism aims to prevent carbon leakage and level the playing field for EU companies competing with producers from outside the EU.

CBAM establishes a transitional phase followed by a permanent implementation phase. During the transitional phase, importers must register and report on the carbon content of certain goods. Understanding these requirements is essential for companies that import regulated products into the EU.

The Registration and Reporting Process

Companies must register as CBAM importers and report on the carbon content of their imports regularly. The reporting process requires companies to gather and document information about the embedded carbon in imported goods and any carbon taxes already paid in the country of origin.

Establishing systems to track and document this information is critical. Companies should work with their suppliers to obtain the necessary data and implement internal processes to ensure accurate and timely reporting.

CBAM is coming – but what exactly does it mean for your company? In this detailed webinar recording, we walk through the registration process, reporting requirements, and practical implementation steps that every company importing goods into the EU needs to understand.
