- CBAM applies to importers of certain goods (like steel and aluminum) into the EU, with a 50-ton annual threshold for most goods, but no threshold for electricity and hydrogen.
- Importers must report import volumes, associated CO₂ emissions, and production facility details; from 2027, financial obligations via CBAM certificates will apply.
- CBAM requires strategic, operational, and financial preparation, not just compliance reporting.
- Risks include customs delays, additional controls, and blocked goods if information is incomplete or misclassified.
- Misconceptions include underestimating the 50-ton threshold and failing to coordinate across organizational domains, leading to fragmented compliance and unexpected obligations.
