EU CBAM · Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism · Evidence & Implementation Kit
Comply with the EU CBAM, without decoding embedded emissions and certificates yourself.
Every CBAM obligation handed to you as an adopt-ready control, from the covered goods and embedded emissions through the quarterly reporting and the authorised declarant and certificates to verification and penalties, with the evidence a competent authority examines.
CBAM-ready in a weekend, not a quarter.
Here is the honest situation. The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism puts a carbon price on imports of cement, iron and steel, aluminium, fertilisers, electricity and hydrogen into the EU. In the transitional period importers must file a quarterly CBAM report of the embedded direct and indirect emissions of their goods; in the definitive regime only an authorised CBAM declarant may import, filing an annual declaration and surrendering CBAM certificates. Calculating embedded emissions, getting third-country installation data, and evidencing it all is real work, and an importer who reports default values with no data or misses a report is exactly where importers fall short.
This Kit removes the guesswork. It is every CBAM obligation written as an adopt-ready control you personalize in a weekend, with the evidence a competent authority examines.
What you get, the moment you buy
32
Obligations as adopt-ready controls. Every CBAM obligation, from the covered goods and embedded emissions through the quarterly reporting, the authorised declarant and certificates, verification and the penalties, written so you personalize and apply it.
32
Evidence-they-examine checklists. For each control, exactly what a competent authority examines, plus where importers fall short, so you close the gap first.
1
CBAM Control Matrix, pre-built. Every obligation in a working spreadsheet, ready to record status, owner and evidence location.
1
Gap & Readiness Assessment. Score each obligation and the workbook returns your readiness as a single percentage, and exactly what to fix next.
Grounded in the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (Regulation (EU) 2023/956), with the covered goods and CN codes, the embedded emissions methodology, the transitional quarterly report, the authorised CBAM declarant and certificates, verification and the penalties called out. Editable Word and Excel files.
Embedded emissions data is the hard part
The CBAM stands or falls on the embedded emissions of your imported goods, and getting actual data from installations in third countries, rather than falling back on default values, is the real challenge. This Kit builds the emissions calculation, the third-country data-gathering and the verification controls with the evidence a competent authority asks for.
What one control looks like
This is scope and the covered goods, where CBAM compliance begins. All 32 are built to this depth.
CBAM-1 Identify covered goods by CN code COVERED GOODS
Put this control in place
Establish and maintain a documented process requiring [the responsible CBAM reporting owner] to screen every consignment against the CBAM covered goods list, matching each imported product to its eight digit Combined Nomenclature code across cement, iron and steel, aluminium, fertilisers, electricity, and hydrogen, and flag any item falling within Annex I of the Regulation for reporting.
Regulatory note.
Annex I of Regulation (EU) 2023/956 defines the covered goods exclusively by CN code, so classification governs scope.
Evidence a competent authority examines
- Documented CN code screening procedure with named responsible owner
- Import classification register mapping each consignment to its eight digit CN code
- List of Annex I covered goods maintained current against the Regulation
- Sample customs declarations showing CN codes for a reporting quarter
Common finding they raise: Organisations frequently miss precursor and downstream articles whose CN codes fall within scope because screening relies on product names rather than tariff classification.
Why this is not another template pack
- The evidence is the point. An emissions figure you cannot evidence fails verification. This tells you what a competent authority examines and where importers fall short, for every obligation.
- Emissions, reporting and certificates built in. The embedded emissions methodology, the quarterly report and the authorised declarant and certificate surrender are written into the controls, the substance the CBAM requires.
- Built on a mapped compliance corpus, not one person's opinion, from a graph of thousands of controls across standards.
- It compounds. The CBAM links to the EU ETS and your wider carbon accounting, so this work feeds your climate compliance program.
Who buys this
Importers of CBAM goods, authorised CBAM declarants and the trade, sustainability and compliance leads who own it. Whether it is a first quarterly report or the move to the definitive regime, you save weeks and walk in with the emissions data and evidence structured.
By the end of the weekend you will have
✓ An adopt-ready control for all 32 obligations
✓ A completed CBAM control matrix
✓ The evidence a competent authority examines
✓ Your embedded emissions and reporting in place
✓ A readiness percentage and a fix list
✓ The default-value and missed-report risks designed out
Common questions
Is it really editable? Yes. Word and Excel files you own and adapt. No portal, no subscription.
Does it cover embedded emissions? Yes. The actual emissions methodology, the system boundaries and the default values fallback are their own control group.
Does it cover certificates? Yes. Becoming an authorised CBAM declarant and purchasing, holding and surrendering CBAM certificates are built as controls.
Does it cover the transitional period? Yes. The quarterly CBAM report through the Transitional Registry is built, with no financial adjustment during the transition.
