The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism has been in its definitive phase since 1 January 2026. EcoComply runs your applicability check, collects verified emissions data from your suppliers, and files your annual CBAM declaration, so you stay an Authorised Declarant and keep your goods moving.
Takes 2 minutes. No commitment required.
CBAM reporting doesn't stop at submission. Here's what keeps your declarations accurate after filing.
We track ETS price shifts, CBAM Registry updates, and phase-in changes after your declaration is filed, so nothing goes stale between declarations.
€1,500 per year, published up front. You'll know your CN-code exposure and total cost before any engagement begins.
CBAM isn't a future problem. Quarterly transitional reporting ran from October 2023 to the end of 2025, and the definitive phase has applied since 1 January 2026.
From 2026, only Authorised CBAM Declarants can clear covered goods through EU customs. No authorisation = no imports of cement, steel, aluminium, fertilisers, hydrogen, or electricity.
Each CBAM certificate you fail to surrender carries a €100 per tonne penalty, harmonised with the EU ETS, on top of the carbon price itself. Importing above the threshold without authorisation costs three to five times that.
Goods without CBAM clearance documentation are held at the border. Your suppliers don't know what you need — and your finance team doesn't either. Delays cost revenue and customer trust.
From CN-code mapping to live declarations — a structured process designed for importers with global supplier chains.
We map your imports against the CBAM CN-code list, identify in-scope goods, and quantify your exposure. You receive a clear scope document and a roadmap to Authorised Declarant status.
We engage your non-EU suppliers with templates and step-by-step guidance to gather verified embedded emissions — direct and indirect, per product, per installation. No more guessing with default values.
Quarterly transitional reports ran until the transitional period ended in 2025. From 2026 we file your annual CBAM declaration, due by 30 September of the following year (30 September 2027 for 2026 imports). Certificate forecasting and surrender included.
A full-service CBAM compliance package covering applicability, data collection, reporting, and certificate management.
Line-by-line review of your imports against the CBAM goods list. Includes scope memo for finance, ops, and customs brokers.
Full registration support with your national competent authority, including EORI verification, financial standing, and operational capability evidence.
Your annual CBAM declaration filed in the CBAM Registry, with the declaration for 2026 imports due by 30 September 2027. No missed deadlines.
We line up accredited verifiers and manage the verification cycle so your declarations clear without audit-trail surprises.
Templates, multilingual outreach, and follow-up with your non-EU suppliers to gather verified direct + indirect embedded emissions per product.
From 2027, we forecast your CBAM certificate needs against the EU ETS price, keep you above the 50% quarterly holding requirement, and manage the annual surrender by 30 September.
All currently in-scope CBAM goods. Scope expands from 2026 onward — we'll keep you ahead.
If you import into both the EU and Great Britain, you have two obligations, not one. The EU scheme is live now. The UK scheme follows on 1 January 2027, with its own scope, threshold and registration. We cover both, so the same supplier emissions data serves both filings instead of being collected twice.

"EcoComply mapped our imports across 40+ CN codes and stood up our supplier data collection in three weeks. We submitted our first quarterly report with zero last-minute scrambling — and we now know exactly what our 2026 certificate exposure looks like."

Quick answers to the most common CBAM reporting questions
The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism puts a carbon price on imports of cement, iron, steel, aluminium, fertilisers, hydrogen and electricity entering the EU. Any importer of in-scope goods must register as an Authorised CBAM Declarant from 2026 and file periodic emissions declarations.
1 January 2026. From that date, only Authorised CBAM Declarants can import covered goods above the 50-tonne annual threshold. Certificates for 2026 imports go on sale on 1 February 2027, priced against the EU ETS, and the first annual declaration and surrender are due by 30 September 2027, with full certificate coverage phased in by 2034.
Currently: cement, iron and steel, aluminium, fertilisers, hydrogen, and electricity. Applicability is determined by CN (Combined Nomenclature) customs codes. The scope expands from 2026, with chemicals and polymers expected to be added. We run the applicability check line-by-line on your import data.
In the definitive phase you can declare default values where verified actual data is missing, but they are based on the highest-emitting exporting countries and usually cost more than verified actual emissions. We engage your suppliers in their language with structured templates, follow up directly, and coordinate accredited third-party verifiers when needed.
During the transitional phase (2023 to 2025), member states could fine €10-50 per tonne of unreported emissions. In the definitive phase, each CBAM certificate you fail to surrender carries a €100 per tonne penalty, harmonised with the EU ETS, on top of buying the missing certificates.
Yes. We audit your current applicability scope, supplier data sources, and reporting history, fix gaps, and take over your annual declarations and certificate planning, including Authorised Declarant registration if you're not yet in the registry.
