The EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a complex but crucial policy for combating climate change, with details still pending.

If you are exporting to the EU, EIC Partnership can help you put together the mandatory report on the carbon emissions of the exported goods.

What is CBAM?

  • The EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), launched last October, is in a transitional phase until the end of 2025.

  • It will fully start in 2026, requiring businesses to monitor but not yet pay for the carbon emissions of their imports.

  • This policy aims to prevent carbon leakage and support EU businesses by imposing charges on imports from countries with weaker environmental standards, ensuring a fair competitive field.

  • The specifics of these charges are still undecided, awaiting the transition’s end and future developments.

How does the EU CBAM affect UK businesses?

Even though the UK is no longer in the EU, this policy could still significantly affect UK businesses.

The EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a policy still being fine-tuned, but it’s an important part of the EU’s strategy to fight climate change.
