Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about CBAM compliance for importers
What is the de minimis threshold under CBAM?
The current de minimis threshold under the EU CBAM exempts imports valued below €150 per consignment. The European Commission has proposed replacing this with a new threshold that would exempt importers of less than 50 tonnes of CBAM goods annually.
How often do I need to report under CBAM?
During the transitional period (October 2023 – December 2025), CBAM reporting is required quarterly.
Starting from January 2026, the definitive period begins, and reporting will become annual.
Do I need to be authorised to import CBAM goods during the definitive period?
Yes. From the beginning of the definitive CBAM period in 2026, importers must be authorised CBAM declarants to continue importing CBAM goods. Without authorisation, imports will be blocked by customs authorities, and importers may face significant penalties.
When do I need to start paying for my CBAM emissions?
CBAM payments will begin in 2027, covering emissions embedded in imports made during 2026.
The financial obligation starts with the definitive CBAM phase, making it essential to track emissions accurately in advance.
Do I need to collect emissions data from suppliers, or can I use default values?
While default emission values will be allowed during the definitive period, they will be set higher than actual emissions data collected from suppliers. As a result, relying on default values will be more expensive and less accurate, making supplier-level emissions data the smarter option for cost-effective CBAM compliance.
