Navigating the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)
Ensure Compliance and Maintain Your Competitive Edge in the EU Market.
Understanding the EU's CBAM
The EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a landmark regulation designed to prevent carbon leakage by placing a carbon price on specific imported goods. For businesses in sectors like steel, aluminum, cement, and fertilizers, this means new, mandatory reporting obligations and future carbon costs. BQCIS provides the expert verification and advisory services you need to navigate this complex landscape.
Importer Obligations Under CBAM
Quarterly Emissions Reporting
During the transitional period, importers must submit quarterly reports detailing the embedded greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of their imported goods.
Verification of Data
The reported emissions data must be accurate and robust. Independent, third-party verification is the best practice to ensure acceptance by authorities.
Purchase of Certificates
From 2026, importers will be required to purchase and surrender a corresponding number of "CBAM certificates" to cover the declared embedded emissions.
