- On 20 October 2023, the Federation of Belgian enterprises (VBO/FEB) hosted a CBAM information session with the European Commission and two Federal Public Services.
- PwC raised a question about the definition of the Reporting Declarant in the CBAM legislation, which is causing ambiguity and uncertainty for economic operators.
- The legislation does not include the possibility of a direct customs representative for imports, which is a common practice.
- This creates uncertainty about who can fulfill the role of the Declarant.
- The European Commission and the Federal Public Services were unable to provide a clear answer. Companies may need to declare their own goods or renegotiate contracts with customs brokers to comply with CBAM.
