Importing Company Details
Identifies the importer or customs representative for whom the CBAM dossier will be generated. This data corresponds to the "Header" level of the CBAM Registry (Art. 5(5) and Art. 14).
What will you get with CBAMCheck?
A complete dossier with everything you need before entering the European Commission's CBAM Registry: assessment of whether your company falls within the CBAM scope, calculation of how much CO₂ your imports carry, estimation of how many CBAM certificates you will need and how much they will cost, templates to request data from your foreign suppliers, and a calendar with all key dates. Everything structured point by point against Regulation (EU) 2023/956.
Art. 5(1-2). CBAM applies to whoever introduces goods into the EU. If you're unsure of your role, select the one that best describes you.
Art. 5(5)(a). Full name as it appears in the commercial or tax register.
⚠ FIELD LOCKED AFTER ACTIVATION. Please review carefully. Once you activate the licence, the company name will be permanently bound to your key and cannot be changed.
Art. 5(1) + Art. 17(2)(c). The CBAM declarant must be established in an EU Member State. If not, you need an indirect customs representative established in the EU (Art. 5(2)).
Art. 5(5)(b). Economic Operators Registration and Identification number. If you don't have one yet, you must apply for it at your country's customs authority before requesting CBAM authorization.
⚠ FIELD LOCKED AFTER ACTIVATION. Verify your EORI. It will be permanently bound to your key after first activation.
Art. 5(5)(a). Registered office address.
Art. 5(5)(c). What is your company's main business?
Per the European Commission definition (Recommendation 2003/361/EC).
Art. 5(5)(e) + Art. 17(2)(a). This refers to violations of customs, tax, market abuse legislation, or serious criminal offenses related to economic activity. If the answer is "Yes," the competent authority may request additional information or deny authorization.
If there have been violations, describe them briefly. This information will help you prepare the sworn statement under Art. 5(5)(e) before applying for authorization.
Art. 5(5)(ga) (Reg. 2025/2083). If you have AEO status under Art. 38 of Reg. 952/2013, indicate the certificate number. This may facilitate the authorization process.
CBAM Scope Assessment
Let's determine whether your imports fall within the CBAM scope. These are simple questions: what you import, where it comes from, and how much it weighs.
📦 What types of products do you import from outside the EU?
Why are we asking you this? CBAM only applies to 6 categories of carbon-intensive products (Annex I of the Regulation). If what you import is not on this list, CBAM does not apply to you. Select all categories that apply to your imports.
🌍 What countries do your imports come from?
Why does the country of origin matter? There are 4 countries whose products are excluded from CBAM because they already participate in the EU emissions trading system: Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland (Annex III). If ALL your imports come from these countries, CBAM does not apply to you. Also excluded are 5 territories: Büsingen, Heligoland, Livigno, Ceuta and Melilla.
Art. 2(5). Origin is determined according to non-preferential rules of origin (Art. 59 of the Customs Code), i.e. the country where the goods were produced or underwent their last substantial transformation.
⚖️ How much do you import per year?
Why does weight matter? There is a minimum threshold: if the total sum of all your CBAM imports in a year does not exceed 50 net tonnes, you are exempt (Art. 2a). But beware: this threshold does not apply to electricity or hydrogen — with these products, any quantity triggers CBAM. The threshold is calculated by summing all sectors (cement + iron + steel + aluminum + fertilizers) per importer per calendar year.
Total net mass accumulated in a calendar year. CBAM goods only.
Art. 2a(4). For these two products there is no 50-tonne minimum threshold. Even small quantities trigger CBAM obligations.
Art. 2(3) (Reg. 2025/2083). Goods intended for military activities are completely excluded from CBAM. This includes equipment, spare parts and materials for military use.
Military exclusion (Art. 2(3)): Goods for military use pursuant to Art. 1(49) of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/2446 are outside the CBAM scope. Only civilian-use goods are subject to the Regulation. For dual-use, only the civilian portion is subject to CBAM.
Other specific exclusions (Art. 2(3a), Reg. 2025/2083): Also excluded from CBAM: (a) electricity generated on the continental shelf or exclusive economic zone of a Member State or Annex III country, and (b) hydrogen originating from such zones. These are very specific cases of offshore production.
Imported Goods
Detail each type of CBAM goods you import. You can add multiple items. This data corresponds to the "Goods" level required by the EU CBAM Registry.
What do you need to complete this step? Have your customs declarations (SAD/DUA) on hand. From them you will get: the 8-digit CN code for each product, the country of origin, and the quantity imported in tonnes (or MWh for electricity). If you import from multiple plants or countries, add a separate entry for each distinct combination.
How much CO₂ do your imports carry?
This is the most important step: here you calculate how many tonnes of CO₂ are "embedded" (incorporated) in the products you import. This figure determines how many CBAM certificates you will need to purchase.
Two key concepts before we start:
1. What are "embedded emissions"? These are the tonnes of CO₂ (and other greenhouse gases) emitted during the manufacture of the product you import. For example, producing 1 tonne of steel at a typical steel mill emits approximately 1.8 tonnes of CO₂. Those 1.8 tCO₂ are the "embedded emissions" of that tonne of steel.
2. How are they calculated? You have two options:
• Option A — Default values: The European Commission publishes standard CO₂ figures per tonne of each product and country. You don't need data from your supplier. It's the simplest option, but the figures tend to be higher (they include a safety surcharge), so you'll pay for more certificates.
• Option B — Actual emissions: Your supplier (the factory that produces the product) provides actual data on how much CO₂ it emits. This usually yields lower figures than default values, so you'll pay for fewer certificates. But this data must be verified by an accredited independent auditor (like financial audits).

Carbon Price and Certificate Estimation
If your supplier already pays a CO₂ tax in their country, you can deduct that cost from the CBAM certificates you need.
🌐 Does your supplier already pay a carbon tax?
What is this and why does it matter? Many countries outside the EU have their own CO₂ taxes or trading systems. For example, Turkey has a pilot ETS, China has a national ETS, the UK has its UK ETS. If the factory producing your goods already pays for emitting CO₂ in its country, the EU allows you to deduct that amount from the CBAM certificates you must purchase. This way you don't pay twice for the same thing.
📜 How many CBAM certificates will you need?
What is a CBAM certificate? It is an "emission permit" you purchase from your country's government for each tonne of CO₂ carried by your imports. Its price matches the EU ETS allowance price (the European emissions trading system), which in 2026 is around €65-70 per tonne of CO₂. Certificates are purchased through a central platform managed by the European Commission (Art. 20). You must surrender certificates by September 30 of the year following the import (Art. 22(1)). Additionally, from 2027 (Art. 22(2)), at the end of each quarter you must hold certificates equal to at least 50% of cumulative embedded emissions since the start of the year. CBAMCheck will include these quarterly dates in your compliance calendar.
Free allocation reduction (Art. 31): The number of CBAM certificates to surrender is reduced to reflect that European factories in the same sector receive free emission allowances under the EU ETS. That is, if European steelmakers receive 97.5% of their allowances for free in 2026, you as an importer only pay for the remaining 2.5% in CBAM certificates. This reduction is phased out gradually but not linearly: the share of emissions subject to CBAM is 2.5% in 2026, 5% in 2027, 10% in 2028, 22.5% in 2029, 48.5% in 2030, 61% in 2031, 73.5% in 2032, 86% in 2033, and 100% from 2034 (CBAM factor under Art. 10a(1a) of Directive 2003/87/EC). CBAMCheck will calculate this adjustment automatically in your dossier.

📋 How will you keep your records?
What is "Annex V"? It is the list of minimum data that the Regulation requires you to keep for 4 years. It is the same data you are entering now: who the importer is, what goods were imported, where they came from, how much CO₂ emissions they carry, and how they were calculated. CBAMCheck will generate a record-keeping template for you to keep updated.
