Carbon now carries a price at the border, and customs authorities are looking harder at classification, value and origin than they have in years. A supply chain that cannot evidence what it imports, and the emissions behind it, is a supply chain exposed. We make the documentation hold and the duty cost defensible.
Scoping covered goods, gathering embedded emissions data and managing the purchase and surrender of certificates.
Getting the commodity code and the customs value right, the two decisions that drive most duty disputes.
Proving origin to claim preferential rates, and holding the evidence an audit will ask for.
Movement, warehousing and the duty points that catch businesses out across alcohol, energy and tobacco.
Controls, authorisations and the governance that keeps a cross border operation clean and audit ready.
Special procedures, free zones and reliefs that lower the cost of trade without raising the risk.
The EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism moves from its reporting phase to its definitive regime in 2026, when importers of covered goods must buy and surrender certificates against the emissions embedded in what they bring in. A UK mechanism follows in 2027. Getting the data and the process ready now is the difference between a managed cost and a scramble.
The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism puts a carbon price on certain imports such as steel, aluminium, cement, fertiliser, electricity and hydrogen. The EU definitive regime begins in 2026, requiring importers to buy and surrender certificates against embedded emissions.
If you import covered goods into the EU it very likely does, and a UK regime follows in 2027. We assess scope, gather the emissions data from your supply chain and build the reporting and certificate process.
Yes. CBAM and customs sit across tax, procurement and logistics. We translate the obligations into the data requests and process changes those teams need to make.
