- Waiting for final CBAM rules is no longer justifiable as substantial, consistent, and detailed operational information is already available.
- Key CBAM elements are clear: default values per CN code, increasing mark-ups on defaults, EU ETS-derived benchmarks, defined calculation methodologies, and strict conditions for using actual values.
- Delaying preparation increases the risk of being forced to use costly default values due to the complexity of obtaining verified emissions data.
- Companies are already experiencing unexpected financial impacts from CBAM, highlighting the need for early action.
- Early preparation enables risk transparency, cost quantification, and system readiness, making it essential to act now despite some elements not being finalized.
