Two situations

Which one are you?

A

Established outside the EU

You cannot file CBAM yourself. EU law needs an established representative to do it, and most forwarders refuse the liability.

We handle
  • The EU representative role, taken on.
  • Registration and authorisation.
  • Emissions data in the required format.

B

Established in the EU

You can file yourself. The pain is the emissions data, the reporting and the certificate planning.

We handle
  • Supplier emissions data, validated.
  • Quarterly and annual reporting.
  • Certificate planning and cost forecasts.
