- The European Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) entered into force on 1 October 2023.
- EU importers must submit their first report under the CBAM by 31 January 2024.
- CBAM aims to ensure that imported goods are subject to the same emissions prices as products produced within the EU.
- The CBAM will gradually introduce obligations over the Transitional Phase, which ends on 31 December 2025.
- From 1 January 2026, free allocations will be reduced and offset by CBAM certificates until the EU Emission Trading System is completely replaced by CBAM in 2034.
- CBAM will account for cases where importers have already paid a carbon price in a third country.
