Brazil has doubled its slab exports to the EU. If you operate a rolling mill in Spain, Italy or Germany that transforms Brazilian slabs, billets or HRC into finished products, you are the importer under Regulation (EU) 2023/956. You need to calculate embedded emissions for every CN code under Chapter 72, including semi-finished products. Brazil has no carbon price — no Art. 9 deduction applies. CBAMCheck generates the 12-document dossier with Brazil default values already integrated. 100% in your browser.

Brazil is one of the largest steel exporters to the EU, with a sharp increase in semi-finished products. As a European re-roller, the CBAM cost falls on you — not on the Brazilian mill. Understanding these figures before the first declaration deadline is the difference between budgeting correctly and absorbing an unplanned cost.
The transitional reporting period ended 31 December 2025. The definitive period is now in effect. Here is the sequence of obligations that applies to your Brazilian steel imports under Regulation (EU) 2023/956.
Annex I of Regulation (EU) 2023/956 covers all of Chapter 72 of the Combined Nomenclature (with specific exceptions for ferro-alloys and scrap). Semi-finished products — slabs (CN 7207 11/12/19/20), billets, blooms — are fully in scope. A compliance tool that only covers finished products leaves your largest volume category uncalculated.
A Brazilian slab produced via BOF (basic oxygen furnace) from iron ore has a different emission profile than an EAF (electric arc furnace) product. The 13,566 default values in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2621 differentiate by product and country. Applying a flat average underestimates or overestimates your CBAM certificate requirement.
Art. 9 of Regulation (EU) 2023/956 allows a reduction in CBAM certificates if a carbon price has been effectively paid in the country of origin. Brazil has no operational ETS or carbon tax on steel production that qualifies. The full CBAM certificate cost applies without deduction. Budgeting with an assumed deduction creates a cost gap.
CBAMCheck generates a complete compliance dossier — not a single generic report. Every document references the specific articles and annexes of Regulation (EU) 2023/956 it relates to. The dossier is generated in your browser from your input data. No data is transmitted to any server.

CBAMCheck takes your import data — CN codes, tonnage, country of origin — and generates the 12-document dossier with emission calculations, certificate estimates, verification preparation and the interactive dashboard. Brazil default values from Reg. 2025/2621 are preloaded. You enter your figures; the tool does the rest.
The CBAM registry under Art. 14 is where you submit the declaration and surrender certificates. It does not calculate your embedded emissions, estimate your certificate requirement, or generate supporting documentation. You need to arrive at the portal with your numbers already computed and your records structured per Annex V.
Under Article 26 of Regulation (EU) 2023/956, penalties for non-compliance are calibrated to mirror — and in some cases exceed — the EU ETS penalty regime.
Art. 26(1). The penalty is identical to the excess emissions penalty under Art. 16(3) of Directive 2003/87/EC, increased pursuant to Art. 16(4). Payment of the penalty does not release you from surrendering the outstanding certificates (Art. 26(3)).
Art. 26(2). If you introduce goods into the EU without authorised CBAM declarant status and without complying with CBAM obligations, the penalty is three to five times the standard rate. This applies per certificate that should have been surrendered.
Art. 26(2a) + Art. 2a. If you exceed the 50-tonne annual threshold without being an authorised CBAM declarant, the enhanced penalty applies to all emissions embedded in all goods imported that calendar year. A 10% tolerance may reduce the penalty, but the obligation is retroactive for the entire year.
If you manage CBAM compliance for multiple importing entities — as a trading house, customs representative or group compliance function — the Professional Pack gives you 70 complete dossiers with a single key. One dossier per importing company.
