You import Turkish hot-rolled coil and you need a per-tonne CBAM certificate estimate for HRC — not a generic steel number

You are a service center, distributor or manufacturer in the EU buying Turkish hot-rolled coil. HRC is the single highest-volume steel product in international trade, and Turkey is the EU’s principal supplier by volume after Russia. You need a CBAM dossier that identifies the exact CN code for HRC within Chapter 72 (CN 7208, 7211, 7225 depending on grade and width), not a generic “steel” calculation. Turkey default for iron and steel is 4.097 tCO₂e/t. CBAMCheck generates a per-tonne certificate estimate you can use in procurement, plus 11 more deliverables. €299 one-time.

Your CBAM compliance timeline

1
Register as authorised CBAM declarant
Art. 5. Required before importing any CBAM goods from Turkey.
2
Identify your exact HRC CN code
HRC falls under CN 7208 (flat products, hot-rolled, width ≥600mm), CN 7211 (width <600mm) or CN 7225 (alloy). The CN code determines the emission calculation. Annex I.
3
Determine embedded emissions
Use Turkey default (4.097 tCO₂e/t) or request actual data from your Turkish mill. Art. 7 + Annex IV.
4
Calculate certificates per tonne imported
CBAMCheck estimates the number of CBAM certificates per tonne of HRC, adjusted for free allocation phase-out (Art. 31).
5
Purchase CBAM certificates quarterly
Art. 22(2). No Art. 9 deduction applies (Turkey has no carbon price transferable to CBAM).
6
Submit annual CBAM declaration by 30 September
First declaration: 30 September 2027 for calendar year 2026. Art. 6.

Three mistakes that inflate your CBAM cost or create compliance risk

MISTAKE 1 — PRODUCT BLUR

Treating all steel as one product instead of identifying HRC specifically

HRC (CN 7208) has specific width, thickness and grade classifications that affect your CBAM calculation. CBAMCheck uses the exact CN code, not a generic “iron and steel” category.

MISTAKE 2 — NO PER-TONNE NUMBER

Running CBAM analysis without a concrete cost-per-tonne figure

Procurement decisions need a number per tonne. CBAMCheck generates the certificate estimate per tonne of HRC so you can factor CBAM into your landed cost.

MISTAKE 3 — DISPROPORTIONATE COST

Paying enterprise SaaS fees for commodity HRC imports

CBAM compliance for HRC imports does not require an enterprise platform. A €299 one-time dossier covers the documentation requirement.

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 the CBAM Registry submission.

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 excess emissions penalty
EU ETS rate per missing 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 pursuant to 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): a person who introduces goods without authorisation faces a penalty of 3 to 5 times the standard penalty, depending on duration, gravity, scope, intent and cooperation. This 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.

Frequently asked questions

What CN code applies to hot-rolled coil under CBAM?
HRC is primarily classified under CN 7208 (flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, hot-rolled, width ≥600 mm). Narrow strip falls under CN 7211. Alloy HRC under CN 7225. All are listed in Annex I of Reg. (EU) 2023/956.
Is HRC a simple or complex good under CBAM?
HRC is classified as a simple good for CBAM purposes — it does not have CBAM-relevant precursors within scope. The embedded emissions relate to the primary steelmaking and hot-rolling process.
Can I get a per-tonne CBAM cost estimate?
Yes. CBAMCheck calculates the estimated number of CBAM certificates per tonne of your specific product, using the applicable default value and the free allocation adjustment. The dossier includes a 2026–2032 projection.
Is this a subscription?
No. One-time payment. The licence includes 30 days of editing and 10 regenerations. The downloaded dossier is yours to keep.
Can I get a refund?
Upon activating the licence you give express consent for immediate generation of digital content pursuant to Art. 16(m) of Directive (EU) 2011/83, waiving the 14-day withdrawal right. Refunds are accepted only for a reproducible technical fault.
What if the regulation changes?
If the regulation changes during your licence validity, you can regenerate the document with the updated version of the generator at no extra cost.
