Overview

CBAM puts a carbon price on certain goods when they enter the EU. Since 1 January 2026 it is a real cost, not only a report. The EU importer carries the legal obligation, but it can only use your actual (usually lower) emissions if you measure them, have them verified and share them.

You will learn

• How the old transitional period differs from today's definitive period.
• Who does what: declarant, operator, verifier and authorities.
