Reg. (EU) 2023/956Generate dossier — €299

Your Turkish steel supplier cannot provide verified emission data — and your first CBAM declaration is due September 2027

You buy hot-rolled coil or rebar from Turkey because the price is right and the lead time is short. Now Regulation (EU) 2023/956 requires you to declare embedded emissions and surrender CBAM certificates for every tonne you import. Your Turkish mill doesn't have verified data ready. The European Commission default value for Turkish steel is 4.097 tCO₂e/t — and it includes a 10% mark-up. CBAMCheck generates the complete 12-deliverable dossier with Turkish default values pre-loaded, plus a letter template in English to request actual emissions from your supplier.

The numbers behind your Turkish steel CBAM exposure

Turkey is the EU's closest major steel supplier outside the single market. Hot-rolled coil (CN 7208), rebar (CN 7214) and wire rod (CN 7213) are the most common Turkish steel products imported into Italy, Spain and Germany. Under Regulation (EU) 2023/956, every tonne carries embedded emissions that require CBAM certificates from 2026 onwards.

Your CBAM compliance path as a Turkish steel importer

The CBAM entered its definitive phase on 1 January 2026. This is the sequence of obligations specific to your situation as an EU importer of Turkish steel.

1
Apply for authorised CBAM declarant status
Before importing, you must apply to the competent authority in your Member State to become an authorised CBAM declarant (Art. 5). Without authorisation, your goods cannot clear customs under CBAM rules.
2
Identify your CN codes and check Annex I scope
Hot-rolled coil (7208), rebar (7214), wire rod (7213), sections (7216) — verify which of your Turkish steel products fall under Annex I of Regulation (EU) 2023/956. CBAMCheck covers all 285 CN codes.
3
Determine embedded emissions per product
Use actual emissions from your Turkish supplier (Art. 7, Annex IV) or fall back on European Commission default values (Reg. 2025/2621). Turkey's iron and steel default: 4.097 tCO₂e/t. Default values include a 10% mark-up (Annex IV, point 4.1).
4
Purchase CBAM certificates
From 1 February 2027, CBAM certificates are available for purchase (Art. 20). The price mirrors the EU ETS allowance price (Art. 21). Turkey has no carbon pricing mechanism deductible under Art. 9.
5
Submit your CBAM declaration by 30 September 2027
Your first CBAM declaration covers imports from calendar year 2026 (Art. 6). Surrender the corresponding number of CBAM certificates (Art. 22). From 2027, you must hold at least 50% of estimated certificates at the end of each quarter (Art. 22(2)).
6
Maintain records for verification
Keep records of embedded emissions, supporting documentation and calculation methods for at least four years (Art. 7(6), Annex V). CBAMCheck generates the Annex V template as part of the dossier.

Three mistakes European importers of Turkish steel make with CBAM

Mistake 1 — Waiting for the Turkish supplier to "handle it"

The CBAM obligation is on the EU importer, not on the Turkish exporter

Your Turkish mill can provide emission data (and you should request it — it may be lower than the default). But the legal obligation to declare, purchase certificates and surrender them lies with the authorised CBAM declarant in the EU. That is you, not your supplier in Iskenderun or Gebze. Art. 5 and Art. 6 of Regulation (EU) 2023/956.

Mistake 2 — Using generic "carbon footprint" numbers instead of CBAM-specific values

The Regulation requires embedded emissions calculated per Annex IV, not sustainability reports

A Turkish steel mill's corporate sustainability report is not CBAM-compliant documentation. Regulation (EU) 2023/956 requires emissions calculated using the methods of Annex IV — covering direct emissions from the production process and, for certain goods, indirect emissions from electricity. CBAMCheck structures the calculation per Annex IV using the exact CN code of your goods.

Mistake 3 — Ignoring the financial impact until certificates are due

At 4.097 tCO₂e/t and a 2.5% CBAM rate in 2026, every 1,000 tonnes costs approximately €7,700

The phase-out of free allocation (Art. 31) means CBAM certificate obligations increase each year through 2034. Starting financial planning now — not in 2027 — gives you time to negotiate with your Turkish supplier for actual emissions data, compare alternative origins, and budget the compliance cost. CBAMCheck's dashboard projects costs through 2032.

The EU CBAM portal asks for data. CBAMCheck calculates the data.

● CBAMCheck calculates the data

Embedded emissions, certificate estimates, financial projections

CBAMCheck applies the methods of Annex IV and the default values of Reg. 2025/2621 to your Turkish steel import data. It calculates embedded emissions per CN code, estimates the number of CBAM certificates, and projects costs through 2032. Twelve documents, ready in 30 minutes.

∅ The EU CBAM portal asks for data

The CBAM Registry (Art. 14) requires you to enter pre-calculated figures

The official EU portal does not calculate emissions for you. It is a submission system. You enter the results of your own calculations. CBAMCheck generates the structured data so that completing the CBAM Registry is fast and error-free.

What happens if you don't comply — Art. 26 penalties

Regulation (EU) 2023/956 established penalties for both authorised CBAM declarants who fail to surrender certificates and importers who introduce goods without CBAM authorisation.

⚖️
Authorised declarant who fails to surrender certificates
Penalty identical to EU ETS excess emissions penalty

Art. 26(1): The penalty is identical to the excess emissions penalty under Art. 16(3) of Directive 2003/87/EC, increased annually per Art. 16(4). Applied per CBAM certificate not surrendered. Payment does not release you from the obligation to surrender the outstanding certificates (Art. 26(3)).

⚖️
Importer without authorisation who exceeds the de minimis threshold
3 to 5 times the standard penalty

Art. 26(2): A person who introduces goods without CBAM authorisation faces a penalty from three to five times the standard rate per certificate not surrendered, depending on duration, gravity, scope and intentional nature of the non-compliance.

⚖️
De minimis threshold
50 tonnes net mass per year (Annex VII)

Art. 2a: Importers below 50 net tonnes annually (all CBAM goods aggregated) are exempt from CBAM obligations. If you exceed 50 tonnes in a calendar year, all emissions from all goods imported that year are subject to CBAM — including those below the threshold.

Frequently asked questions — Turkish steel CBAM

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?
By activating the licence you give express consent to the immediate generation of digital content under Art. 16(m) of Directive (EU) 2011/83, waiving the 14-day withdrawal right. Refunds are only accepted for reproducible technical failures.
What if the regulation changes?
If the regulation changes during the validity of your licence, you can regenerate the document with the updated version of the generator at no additional cost.
Does CBAMCheck calculate Turkish steel emissions automatically?
Yes. CBAMCheck integrates 13,566 official default values from Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2621, including all Turkish iron and steel CN codes. The default emission intensity for Turkish steel is 4.097 tCO₂e/t. You enter your tonnage and CN code; the tool applies the correct value automatically.
My Turkish supplier won't send emission data. Can I still comply?
Yes. Under Article 7(2) of Regulation (EU) 2023/956, when actual emission data from the installation is unavailable, you may use default values published by the European Commission. CBAMCheck uses the values from Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2621. However, default values include a 10% mark-up (Annex IV, point 4.1), so obtaining actual verified data from your supplier may reduce your CBAM certificate cost. CBAMCheck includes an English-language letter template to request this data from your Turkish mill.
Do I need to upload my import data to a server?
No. CBAMCheck processes everything 100% in your browser. No import volumes, no supplier names, no CN codes, no company data leave your device. The ZIP file is generated locally and downloaded to your computer. GDPR-native by architecture.
What is the difference between default values and actual emissions for Turkish steel?
Default values are country-and-sector averages published by the European Commission under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2621, with a 10% mark-up added under point 4.1 of Annex IV. Actual emissions are installation-specific data verified under Article 8 and Annex VI. If your Turkish supplier provides verified actual emissions lower than the default, your CBAM certificate cost decreases. CBAMCheck includes a letter template in English to request this data.
⚠️ Important notice: CBAMCheck is a self-assessment documentation tool, not legal advice and not a third-party audit. The document is generated from your input data. You are responsible for the accuracy of the data you provide. CBAMCheck does not replace a qualified professional assessment.
