What penalties can be imposed for non-compliance with CBAM regulations?

Fines based on unreported emissions

The CBAM Regulation provides for penalties in cases of non-compliance.

During the transitional period, penalties can range from €10 to €50 per tonne of unreported emissions. The exact amount is determined by the national competent authorities.

In the definitive period, additional penalties may be imposed for failing to surrender the required number of CBAM certificates or for providing false information. The penalty system is designed to be effective, proportionate, and dissuasive to ensure high levels of compliance.
