CBAM FAQ
How do I check whether a aluminium product is covered by CBAM?
Start with the exact CN classification used for the imported goods and compare it with the applicable CBAM scope. Broad product names alone are not enough for a final classification.
Can I estimate CBAM exposure for aluminium?
After classification and the applicable embedded-emissions input are established, use the calculator for a planning estimate.
Why does the exact CN code matter?
CBAM product scope is classification-based. A broad heading can contain more specific records or exclusions.
