CBAM Academy
Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) Academy helps buyers and suppliers understand how they are impacted.
Understanding CBAM
What is CBAM?
What is carbon leakage and how does CBAM address it?
How does CBAM support the EU's climate goals?
Does the EU CBAM apply to all countries exporting to the EU?
How does CBAM encourage global climate action?
Will CBAM generate revenue for the EU?
How does CBAM ensure fair competition between EU and non-EU producers?
What are the key phases of CBAM implementation?
What are the requirements during the transitional period?
When is the first CBAM report due?
What changes when the definitive period begins in 2026?
How often do importers need to submit reports during the transitional period?
Will there be any adjustments to the implementation timeline?
Do importers need to be authorized during the transitional period?
How will the transition from reporting-only to full implementation be managed?
Will there be any grace periods or exceptions during the early stages of the definitive period?
Which sectors are initially covered by CBAM?
Why were these specific sectors chosen for CBAM?
Will CBAM be expanded to include more sectors in the future?
How are goods within these sectors defined for CBAM purposes?
Does CBAM apply to finished products in these sectors?
Are there any exemptions within these sectors?
Do imported CBAM impacted complex goods that contain an input subject to CBAM need to be reported to CBAM?
Is it required to collect purchased precursor data from suppliers, or can I rely on default values?
If I am a supplier selling goods affected by CBAM to traders who then resell them to customers in Europe, does CBAM impact me?
As a supplier purchasing a CBAM-impacted product and reselling it to a customer in Europe, without producing it ourselves, are we impacted by CBAM?
If I sell CBAM-impacted goods to multiple customers in Europe, can I reuse the same CBAM data for all, or does it need to be unique for each customer?

How CBAM Works
How does CBAM mirror the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS)?
How are embedded emissions in imported goods calculated under CBAM?
How do importers purchase and surrender CBAM certificates?
How does CBAM account for carbon prices paid in the exporting country?
How will CBAM ensure fair treatment of EU and non-EU producers?
How will CBAM be enforced?
Is there a minimum spend threshold for CBAM reporting requirements wherein I do not need to include some suppliers?
