Key CBAM Changes for EU Importers Effective January 2026: New Thresholds and Reporting Rules

  • From 1 January 2026, the CBAM will fully apply, changing compliance for importers of covered goods into the EU.
  • Importers of less than 50 tonnes per year (excluding electricity and hydrogen) are exempt from CBAM obligations.
  • Annual CBAM reports will replace quarterly reports, due by 30 September 2027.
  • CBAM certificates for 2026 imports must be purchased from February 2027; third-party verification is not needed if default values with markups are used.
  • Importers exceeding 50 tonnes per year must obtain Authorised CBAM Declarant status before 1 January 2026, with a tolerance period in early 2026 for pending applications.
