- The Carbon Boundary Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) was introduced by the EU to regulate carbon emissions from imported goods and prevent “Carbon Leakage”
- Importers of goods listed in the CBAM list are required to declare associated carbon emissions
- The purpose of CBAM is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, create fair competition for European industries, and contribute to climate goals
- Importers must report to the “CBAM Transition Register” to fulfill their reporting obligations
- From the third quarter of 2024, importers must report the actual carbon emissions of CBAM-listed goods
- A simplified reporting procedure was available from October 2023 to June 2024, but from the third quarter of 2024, only actual carbon emissions must be reported
