CBAM importer obligations in Lithuania: what you need to do, who you report to, and when

If your company is established in Lithuania, your national competent authority for CBAM is the Aplinkos apsaugos agentūra (Environmental Protection Agency). As a Baltic state on the EU's eastern border, Lithuania handles CBAM goods arriving overland from Russia and Belarus and by sea through Klaipėda. CBAMCheck generates 12 structured documents that prepare your data for the CBAM Registry.

The numbers that matter for CBAM importers in Lithuania

Your step-by-step CBAM compliance timeline as a Lithuanian importer

1
Apply for authorisation as CBAM declarant
Art. 5. Submit through the EU CBAM Registry. The Aplinkos apsaugos agentūra reviews declarants established in Lithuania.
2
Identify all CBAM goods in your import portfolio
Check CN codes against Annex I. Steel, fertilisers, aluminium, cement, hydrogen. De minimis: 50 tonnes/year (Art. 2a).
3
Collect emissions data from your suppliers
Request actual data from third-country suppliers. Default values from Reg. 2025/2621 with 10% mark-up if unavailable.
4
Purchase CBAM certificates quarterly
Art. 22(2): hold certificates ≥50% of embedded emissions at end of each quarter.
5
Submit your annual CBAM declaration by 30 September
Art. 6: first declaration due 30 September 2027 for CY 2026.
6
Undergo verification by an accredited verifier
Art. 8 + Annex VI: embedded emissions must be verified.

Three compliance mistakes Lithuanian importers should avoid

MISTAKE 1 — LATE AUTHORISATION

Waiting until 2026 to apply

Art. 5 requires authorisation before importing. Apply early through the CBAM Registry.

MISTAKE 2 — IGNORING EASTERN BORDER FLOWS

Underestimating overland imports from Russia and Belarus

Lithuania sits on the EU's eastern border. Steel and fertiliser imports crossing by land carry full CBAM obligations — identical to maritime imports.

MISTAKE 3 — MISSING QUARTERLY OBLIGATIONS

Treating CBAM as annual-only

Art. 22(2) requires quarterly certificate purchases covering ≥50% of embedded emissions.

The EU CBAM portal ASKS for data. CBAMCheck CALCULATES it.

THE EU CBAM PORTAL

Asks you to declare data

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

Calculates the data you need to declare

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 your declaration in the CBAM Registry.

Enforcement: what happens when CBAM certificates are missing

Art. 26 of Reg. (EU) 2023/956 sets the penalties.

⚠️
Authorised declarant: penalty identical to EU ETS rate
EU ETS rate per certificate

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 per Art. 16(4). The penalty applies per certificate not surrendered. Payment does not release the obligation to surrender outstanding certificates (Art. 26(3)).

⚠️
Unauthorised importer: penalty 3–5 times the standard rate
3–5×

Art. 26(2): anyone introducing goods without authorisation faces a penalty of 3 to 5 times the standard penalty, depending on duration, gravity, scope, intent and cooperation. Also applies to importers exceeding the de minimis threshold (50 tonnes, Art. 2a) without authorisation (Art. 26(2a)).

What CBAMCheck guarantees and what it does not

CBAMCheck generates a document structured according to Art. 6 and Art. 7 + Annex IV of Regulation (EU) 2023/956 from the information you enter. The truthfulness, accuracy and completeness of that information is your responsibility as importer or authorised CBAM declarant.

We guarantee that the document structure follows Regulation (EU) 2023/956 and that the legal references cited are correct. We do not guarantee that a specific document will be accepted by a national competent authority in a specific case.

CBAMCheck is not legal advice. For specific situations, consult a lawyer or specialised regulatory consultancy.
