The European Commission has proposed expanding the CBAM scope from 2028 to include approximately 180 downstream products that are intensive in steel and aluminium — machinery, heavy equipment and other manufactured goods. If you import these products, you are not yet affected by CBAM, but you will be. The expansion means that the embedded emissions of the steel and aluminium content in your products will need to be declared. CBAMCheck helps you prepare now: use the current tool to understand the CBAM cost of your steel and aluminium inputs, so you can anticipate the downstream impact.

CBAM scope expansion to downstream products is a stated policy objective. Companies that ignore it will be caught unprepared.
Understanding the CBAM cost of your steel and aluminium inputs takes time — supplier engagement, data collection, emissions calculation. Start now.
If your products contain significant steel or aluminium, the 2028 expansion is designed to cover them.
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 your declaration in the CBAM Registry.
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 per Art. 16(4). The penalty applies per certificate not surrendered. Payment does not release the obligation to surrender outstanding certificates (Art. 26(3)).
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)).
