You import Turkish clinker and your first CBAM declaration covers cement CN codes that most generic tools do not understand

Turkey ships more clinker to the EU than any other country — 2,434 kt in 2024, approximately 25% of the EU's total clinker imports. You buy clinker for grinding or Portland cement for distribution. CBAM is now a cost layer on every tonne. The European Commission default for Turkish cement is 1.950 tCO₂e/t. CBAMCheck generates 12 deliverables that cover clinker (CN 2523 10), Portland (CN 2523 21/29) and other hydraulic cements — with an executive summary ready for your management.

The numbers behind Turkish cement CBAM exposure

Turkey's proximity to Mediterranean EU ports (Italy, France, Spain, Greece) and competitive pricing have made it the dominant clinker supplier to Europe. Under CBAM, every tonne of imported clinker and cement now carries an embedded emissions obligation. Cement is a process-emission-heavy sector — CO₂ is released both from fuel combustion and from the calcination of limestone.

CBAM compliance path for importers of Turkish cement

1
Obtain authorised CBAM declarant status (Art. 5)
Required before customs clearance for cement imports under CBAM definitive phase.
2
Identify your cement CN codes in Annex I
Clinker (2523 10), Portland (2523 21, 2523 29), aluminous (2523 30), other hydraulic (2523 90). CBAMCheck covers all cement CN codes.
3
Determine embedded emissions — process + combustion
Cement emissions come from both fuel combustion and limestone calcination (process emissions). Annex IV covers both. Turkey default: 1.950 tCO₂e/t with 10% mark-up.
4
Purchase CBAM certificates from February 2027 (Art. 20)
Turkey has no carbon pricing deductible under Art. 9. Full embedded emissions subject to certificates.
5
Submit declaration by 30 September 2027 (Art. 6)
First declaration covers 2026 imports. Surrender certificates (Art. 22).

Three mistakes importers of Turkish cement make with CBAM

❌
Mistake 1 — Using a generic carbon tool that doesn't understand cement

Cement has process emissions (calcination) that generic CO₂ calculators miss

Unlike steel or aluminium, a large portion of cement emissions comes from the chemical process of converting limestone to clinker (CaCO₃ → CaO + CO₂). A tool designed for energy-based emissions misses this. CBAMCheck applies the cement-specific Annex IV methodology including both process and combustion emissions.

❌
Mistake 2 — Buying consultancy when you only need documentation

You know your product. You need the CBAM documentation structured, not explained

You are a cement distributor or a grinding plant. You understand CN 2523. What you need is the regulatory documentation structured per Regulation (EU) 2023/956 — not a consultant explaining what cement is. CBAMCheck generates 12 documents, including an executive summary to justify the compliance cost to your management. €299 vs. thousands in consulting fees.

❌
Mistake 3 — Not citing regulation articles in your compliance file

Competent authorities expect specific article references, not generic statements

A CBAM compliance file that says "we calculated emissions" without referencing Art. 7, Annex IV methodology, or the specific default value source (Reg. 2025/2621) lacks regulatory rigour. Every CBAMCheck deliverable cites the specific article, annex or implementing regulation it addresses.
