The EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) creates new compliance obligations for importers of iron, steel, aluminium, cement, fertilizers, hydrogen, and electricity. Starting January 2026, the Definitive Phase requires Authorised CBAM Declarants to purchase certificates matching their imports' embedded emissions.
Logistics managers need to verify HS codes fall under Annex I categories and collect supplier-specific emissions data before goods reach EU borders. Finance teams must forecast carbon liability costs linked to volatile EU ETS prices. Customs brokers require scalable tools to generate compliant XML declarations for multiple clients.
Import Safe-Pass addresses all these requirements in one platform: automated HS code lookup, secure supplier data portals, real-time liability calculators, and bulk EU Registry XML generation. Updated for the December 2025 Implementing Acts including new rules on accreditation, certificate pricing, and free allocation adjustments.
The European Commission released five new Implementing Acts on December 17, 2025. We've already integrated them.
Don't overpay. Our engine automatically applies the 2026 Free Allocation Adjustment factors to lower your certificate liability.
Legal Basis: Implementing Act on Free Allocation Adjustment (Dec 17, 2025) per Article 31(1)(a)

Article 22 compliance check
Our engine checks the extracted values against Article 22 rules and flags any missing mandatory fields. Auto-validates CN codes against Annex I categories.
Export compliant files
Export compliant XML/ZIP files for the EU CBAM Registry. Pro & Enterprise tiers include supplier data collection and verifier workflow.
Before importing CBAM goods in the 2026 Definitive Period, you must apply for Authorised CBAM Declarant status with your Member State authority (Article 4 & 17). This requires company registration, EORI number verification, and compliance history checks. Allow 15+ business days for approval.
Import Safe-Pass helps you prepare audit-ready documentation for the Registry—but Declarant authorization must be obtained separately through official EU channels.
Get instant clarity on your CBAM obligations
This tool provides preliminary eligibility assessments only. Official CBAM declarations require Authorised Declarant status and accredited verification per Article 8.
Total weight imported in current quarter
Intrinsic value of this shipment
Regulation (EU) 2023/956 exempts shipments with intrinsic value below €150
Article 2(3)
Legal Reference: Per Article 2(3) of Regulation (EU) 2023/956, goods in a consignment with an intrinsic value not exceeding EUR 150 are exempt from CBAM obligations.
Article 27 Warning: Artificially splitting shipments into multiple consignments to fall below the €150 threshold is defined as circumvention and carries significant penalties.
Above De Minimis
Article 27 Warning: Artificial splitting of consignments to stay below €150 is prohibited. Our system detects circumvention patterns automatically.
The 50,000 kg threshold referenced in industry guidance is a "Safe Harbor" planning target, not a regulatory exemption. Regulation (EU) 2023/956 Article 2(3) specifically defines the €150 intrinsic value exemption. Consult your customs advisor for definitive compliance requirements.
The transition from Transitional to Definitive Period introduces substantive changes to compliance requirements. These updates affect data collection thresholds, authorization procedures, and financial liability calculations.
Understanding these changes now is essential for operational continuity in 2026.
As of July 2024, complex goods reports must source 80% of emissions data directly from suppliers. Reliance on default values beyond this threshold triggers Article 35 penalties of up to €50 per unreported tonne.
Without approved Authorised CBAM Declarant status by January 1, 2026, imports of Annex I goods will be held at EU borders. The application requires financial solvency proof and compliance history verification.
Default emission values in the Definitive Period carry a regulatory mark-up multiplier. For steel imports, this can increase certificate costs by 200%+ compared to verified supplier data.
