Dubrink was built from the ground up for CBAM compliance, and it shows in the regulatory details. Its XML export matches the EU CBAM Transitional Registry schema natively — no conversion step needed. For importers who need to file directly with customs authorities, this removes a potential friction point.
Dubrink also supports 20+ languages, making it a practical choice for importers working with non-English-speaking customs representatives or authorities.
Its guided audit and verification workflows give compliance officers a clear paper trail. For teams that prioritise audit readiness above all else, Dubrink covers the basics well.
CbamTrack is built for teams who want to get compliant fast without wrestling with dated interface patterns. If Dubrink is the reliable workhorse, CbamTrack is the modern dashboard you actually want to open every day.
