- The EU Commission has launched three consultations on the implementation rules for the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) to clarify key rules before the definitive phase starts on January 1, 2026. Feedback can be submitted until September 25, 2025. The consultations focus on the methodology for calculating emissions in CBAM goods, the adjustment of CBAM certificate obligations considering free allocations in the EU Emissions Trading System, and the crediting of CO₂ prices paid in third countries. Affected parties include importers and authorized CBAM declarants in sectors like cement, iron & steel, aluminum, fertilizers, electricity, and hydrogen, as well as relevant authorities and stakeholders in third countries. Companies should prepare for CBAM application by reviewing supply chains, applying for authorized CBAM declarant status, and considering simplifications like the de-minimis threshold for imported goods.
