CBAM certificate
Published Reviewed
A CBAM certificate is the unit an authorised declarant surrenders to cover the embedded emissions of goods imported under the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, priced to mirror the EU Emissions Trading System allowance price. In the definitive regime, importers must hold authorisation, report verified embedded emissions annually, and surrender certificates matching them — turning the carbon cost of imports into a customs-adjacent compliance process.
