Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM)

Understanding the CBAM

The EU’s CBAM regulation aims to level the playing field for EU producers by imposing carbon-cost equivalents on imports of steel, aluminum, cement, fertilizers, electricity and hydrogen. Key dates:

1 October 2023: Transitional phase begins and importers must report embedded emissions.
31 December 2025: Transitional phase ends.
1 January 2026: Definitive phase begins and importers will purchase CBAM certificates covering embedded emissions. Target audience: Importers of goods into the EU covered by CBAM (EU-based importers, customs declarants) and non-EU producers supplying those importers.

Partner with STRIVE

Through our sister company, Vertis, we offer bespoke CBAM hedging solutions that allow companies to manage certificate cost risk via EU Allowances (EUAs) forwards and options.
