- From January 1, 2026, imports of CBAM goods into the EU require correct TARIC document codes and a registered CBAM declarant status, or a valid exemption.
- Key TARIC codes include Y128 (CBAM account number), with additional codes for specific exemptions and transitional arrangements.
- Customs declarations lacking correct codes or data (especially Y128, EORI, and CBAM account info) will be rejected or returned.
- Companies must update master data, import software, and communication processes to comply, or risk delays and extra costs.
- Further implementing regulations are expected; companies should monitor developments and prepare accordingly.
