CBAM for Exporters

CBAM for Exporters — How Non-EU Manufacturers Can Prepare for CBAM

If you manufacture steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, hydrogen, or electricity outside the European Union and export to EU customers, CBAM affects you directly. Your EU importers need accurate embedded emissions data for every product they import. Without it, they must use default values with mandatory markups of 10% in 2026, rising to 30% by 2028 — increasing their CBAM costs and potentially making your products less competitive. CbamTrack's supplier portal makes it simple to share verified production data with your EU customers.

Why Exporters Need to Act Now

Your Customers Need Your Data

EU importers must report embedded emissions for every CBAM-covered product. Without your data, they use default values with markups of 10–30%, inflating their CBAM costs.

Different Calculation Methods

CBAM requires specific methodology (IR 2025/2621). Your existing emission factors may not align with EU requirements, leading to rejected or inaccurate data.

Documentation & Audit Trail

EU importers must retain supporting data for 5 years. Your emission data must be verifiable, traceable, and stored in a format acceptable to EU authorities.

Competitive Disadvantage

Exporters who provide accurate, low-carbon data help their EU customers reduce CBAM costs. Those who don't risk losing business to suppliers with transparent emissions reporting.

How the Supplier Portal Works

1

Receive Invitation

Your EU customer sends a supplier invitation through CbamTrack. You receive a secure link to access the portal.

2

Enter Emission Data

Submit electricity and gas consumption per product. Use actual production data for the most accurate results.

3

Share with Customer

Your customer receives the verified data. They can apply it directly in their CBAM report to avoid default value markups.
