CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) introduces a complex system of carbon tariffs on imports into the EU, covering sectors including iron, steel and aluminium — industries known for their high carbon intensity. Since Oct 2023, companies inside the EU who import goods from outside the EU that fall within a defined list of import codes, must provide a quarterly CBAM return to declare specific embedded greenhouse gas emissions. From Jan 2026, the importer will be required to purchase corresponding CBAM certificates, reflecting the cost of carbon emissions priced within the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS). Therefore, potentially making some imported goods more expensive than they are today.

UK exporters are already seeing requests from their EU customers to provide embedded emissions declarations. How this information is calculated and provided not only affects compliance, but also the perceived cost of goods from Jan 2026.

Mark Miller and Paul Thomas of Auditel (UK) Limited, are delivering this webinar to introduce and take questions about managing CBAM requirements and will also briefly discuss UK CBAM which is currently under development.
