CBAM steel rebar from Egypt: simple good, no Art. 9 deduction, compliance dossier

Egypt exports rebar to the Mediterranean EU market — Italy, Greece, Spain. Rebar (CN 7214) is a simple good under CBAM: its emissions come directly from the production process, with no precursor cascade to manage. The Egypt iron and steel default is 2.507 tCO₂e/t. Egypt has no carbon pricing mechanism, so no Art. 9 deduction applies. For a low-margin commodity like rebar, the CBAM cost is material. CBAMCheck generates 12 structured documents with a straightforward emissions calculation — no unnecessary complexity for a simple good.

Three mistakes importers of Egyptian rebar should avoid

MISTAKE 1 — OVERCOMPLICATING THE CALCULATION

Treating rebar as a complex good

Rebar is a simple good. Its emissions come from the production process only — no precursor cascade. Using the simple good formula (AttrEmg/ALg) is correct and sufficient.

MISTAKE 2 — IGNORING THE COST IMPACT ON LOW-MARGIN COMMODITY

Treating CBAM as marginal for rebar

Rebar is a high-volume, low-margin product. At 2.507 tCO₂e/t with an EU ETS price of ≈€75 and a 2.5% CBAM rate in 2026, the per-tonne cost may seem small — but it scales with the phase-out to 100% by 2034.

MISTAKE 3 — NOT COMPARING ORIGINS

Not checking if other origins have lower defaults

Egypt 2.507 vs Brazil 2.583 vs Turkey 4.097. Rebar sourcing is price-sensitive. Comparing CBAM costs by origin may shift procurement decisions.

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)).
