Reg. (EU) 2023/956Generate your CBAM dossier — €299

You import Vietnamese flat steel and your supplier cannot provide emission data — default values and a template letter in English solve both problems at once

Vietnam is a significant and growing exporter of flat steel products to the EU, with buyers in Belgium, Germany and Spain. Vietnamese mills produce predominantly with blast furnaces, resulting in high carbon intensity. Vietnam has no carbon price — no Art. 9 deduction applies. Getting verified emission data from a Vietnamese plant is difficult in practice. CBAMCheck generates the 12-document dossier with Vietnam default values preloaded and includes a formal template letter in English to request emission data from your supplier. If the data arrives, you update the dossier. If not, the defaults are your legal fallback. €299, one-time, 100% browser-side.

The numbers behind your Vietnamese steel CBAM exposure

Vietnamese flat steel competes on price in the EU market. Under CBAM, the embedded carbon cost adds a new variable to the landed cost calculation. With blast-furnace production and no carbon price, the CBAM cost per tonne is meaningful — and the default values reflect the production route.

Your CBAM timeline for Vietnamese steel imports

1
Obtain authorised CBAM declarant status (Art. 5)
Via CBAM registry. Required before importing.
2
Send supplier letter requesting emission data
CBAMCheck generates a formal English-language letter per Annex IV. If the Vietnamese mill responds with verified data, use actual emissions (Art. 7(2)(a)). If not, default values apply (Art. 7(2)(b)).
3
Calculate embedded emissions per CN code
Art. 7 + Annex IV. For Annex II products (iron and steel), only direct emissions. Vietnam default: 2.702 tCO₂e/t with mark-up.
4
Purchase certificates and declare by 30 September 2027
Art. 6 + Art. 22. First declaration covers 2026. No Art. 9 deduction for Vietnam.

Three mistakes importers of Vietnamese steel make

❌
Mistake 1 — Using a tool that does not cover emerging Asian exporters

Vietnam is in Reg. 2025/2621 with country-specific default values

Some compliance tools focus on traditional steel origins (Turkey, Russia, China) and lack Vietnam-specific data. Implementing Reg. 2025/2621 includes Vietnam. CBAMCheck loads the exact country value: 2.702 tCO₂e/t for iron and steel.

❌
Mistake 2 — Assuming you can easily get actual emission data from a Vietnamese mill

Default values exist precisely for this situation

Vietnamese steel producers are not legally required to provide emission data to EU importers. Language barriers and different reporting standards add friction. Art. 7(2)(b) provides the fallback: default values from Reg. 2025/2621. CBAMCheck generates the dossier with defaults while the supplier letter creates the paper trail showing you requested actual data.

❌
Mistake 3 — Using an overly technical interface for a straightforward calculation

CBAM documentation should not require metallurgical expertise from the buyer

You are an importer, not a process engineer. CBAMCheck handles the technical calculation (emission factors, mark-ups, CN code mapping, Art. 31 adjustments) and presents the output in 12 structured documents. You enter tonnage, CN codes and country of origin.

You import Algerian urea and ammonia into France or Spain — two products, two greenhouse gases, and a single dossier that handles both CN codes for €299

Algeria is a key fertiliser supplier to the EU: 17% of urea imports and 355 kt of ammonia annually. If you are a cooperative, fertiliser distributor or chemical plant in France or Spain, the CBAM cost on Algerian fertilisers is now a line item in your procurement. Urea (CN 3102) covers both CO₂ and N₂O. Ammonia (CN 2814) covers CO₂ only. Algeria has no carbon price — no Art. 9 deduction. CBAMCheck handles both CN codes in a single dossier with the correct GHG assignment for each. €299, one-time, 100% browser-side.

The numbers behind your Algerian fertiliser CBAM exposure

The Mediterranean trade route between Algeria and France/Spain is established and high-volume. Under CBAM, the absence of a carbon price in Algeria means the full certificate cost applies to every tonne — with two GHGs counted for urea.

Three mistakes fertiliser importers make with Algerian CBAM documentation

❌
Mistake 1 — Treating urea and ammonia as the same product under CBAM

Different CN codes, different greenhouse gases, different calculations

Ammonia (CN 2814) covers CO₂ only. Urea and nitrogenous fertilisers (CN 3102) cover both CO₂ and nitrous oxide (N₂O) under Annex I. Using a single emission factor for both understates or overstates the certificate requirement. CBAMCheck assigns the correct GHG per CN code.

❌
Mistake 2 — Paying for a recurring service for an annual obligation

CBAM declaration is once a year — a subscription model is disproportionate

The CBAM declaration is submitted once annually (Art. 6). Documentation is generated once and kept for four years. A SaaS subscription of €1,990–€4,800/year for something you use once is not proportionate for a cooperative or mid-size distributor. CBAMCheck: €299, one-time.

❌
Mistake 3 — Not understanding the comparative advantage of your supply origin under CBAM

Algeria's emission intensity for fertilisers is below the global average

Algeria's default of 1.411 tCO₂e/t is lower than the "Other" category (1.819) and lower than China (2.19). Under CBAM, lower emission intensity means fewer certificates. This is a procurement argument — your Algerian supply has a CBAM cost advantage over higher-intensity origins. CBAMCheck quantifies it.
