- UK is implementing a Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) to place identical carbon prices on imported products as domestically manufactured products
- Glass and ceramic products will not be included in the UK CBAM from January 1, 2027 due to lower emissions intensity and complexity of accounting for emissions
- Sectoral coverage of UK CBAM from 2027 will include imported aluminium, cement, fertiliser, hydrogen, iron, and steel products
- UK CBAM will price direct and indirect emissions to accurately price embodied emissions in imported products
- Importers can use actual emissions data or apply government’s standardised default values for calculating embedded emissions
- UK CBAM Rate will reflect the effective carbon price in the UK as determined by the UK ETS.
