- The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) will affect about 6.5% of general imports in Italy, particularly steel and aluminum sectors.
- The CBAM is expected to have a significant impact on the EU budget, with estimated revenues of 9 to 14 billion euros annually.
- The first quarterly CBAM report is due on January 31, 2024, and it is essential to compile it correctly.
- Importers will be required to purchase certificates for emissions from CBAM-affected products starting from 2026.
- The correct compilation of the quarterly report requires careful evaluation and collaboration with suppliers.
- Non-compliance with CBAM standards may result in significant sanctions based on undeclared carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
- Sanctions must respect the general principles of the European Union.
