You need to understand how CBAM embedded emissions are calculated. Annex IV of Reg. (EU) 2023/956 sets the methodology. For simple goods (produced without input materials that have embedded emissions), the specific embedded emissions per tonne (SEEg) equal the attributed emissions of the production process (AttrEmg) divided by the activity level (ALg). For complex goods (produced using precursors with their own embedded emissions), you add the embedded emissions of input materials (EEInpMat). Both direct and indirect emissions must be included. CBAMCheck automates this entire calculation — you enter your data, the tool applies the correct formula. 12 deliverables. €299.

If your product uses input materials with embedded emissions (e.g., steel plate for containers, primary aluminium for profiles), it is complex. Missing precursor emissions undercounts embedded emissions.
Annex IV requires both direct and indirect emissions. Indirect emissions from electricity consumption must be included.
The Annex IV formulas are precise but technical. CBAMCheck automates the calculation — you provide the input data, the tool applies the correct formula.
CBAMCheck generates a complete CBAM compliance dossier — not a single PDF. 12 structured documents delivered as a ZIP file, each citing the specific article of Reg. (EU) 2023/956 it addresses.

The EU CBAM Registry (Art. 14) requires you to submit total embedded emissions, number of certificates and carbon price documentation. It does not calculate these for you. You must arrive with the numbers ready.
CBAMCheck takes your import data (tonnes, CN codes, country of origin) and generates the embedded emissions calculation, certificate estimation, carbon price documentation and all supporting records. You download the dossier and use it to complete the CBAM Registry submission.
Art. 26 of Reg. (EU) 2023/956 sets the penalties.
Art. 26(1): an authorised CBAM declarant who fails to surrender the required certificates by 30 September faces a penalty identical to the excess emissions penalty under Art. 16(3) of Directive 2003/87/EC, increased pursuant to Art. 16(4). Payment does not release the obligation to surrender outstanding certificates (Art. 26(3)).
Art. 26(2): a person who introduces goods without authorisation faces a penalty of 3 to 5 times the standard penalty. This also applies to importers exceeding the de minimis threshold (50 tonnes, Art. 2a) without authorisation (Art. 26(2a)).
