Expert guidance across the full range of EU import compliance.
CBAM Advisory
The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism is one of the most significant trade policy developments in recent EU history. Companies exporting steel, cement, aluminium, fertilisers, electricity, and hydrogen to the EU now face a carbon cost tied to embedded emissions. Getting it right requires understanding your production processes, your supply chain, and the EU reporting framework in detail.
- Assessing CBAM applicability for your product categories
- Mapping embedded direct and indirect carbon emissions
- Preparing and reviewing CBAM declarations
- Identifying data gaps and working with suppliers to resolve them
- Advising on the transition from the current reporting phase to definitive obligations
EU Customs & Import Strategy
CBAM sits within a broader framework of EU customs and trade regulation. For companies entering the EU market, understanding the full picture — tariff classification, customs valuation, rules of origin, and sector-specific requirements — is essential for cost-efficient and compliant operations.
- Tariff classification and customs duty assessment
- Rules of origin analysis for preferential duty rates
- Customs procedure selection and simplification
- Trade policy monitoring for relevant sectors
- End-to-end import planning and process optimisation
Verification Network
CBAM requires that embedded carbon data be verified by an accredited third-party verifier. Finding the right verifier — one with experience in your sector, geography, and production type — is not straightforward. We maintain a curated network of accredited verifiers and help match companies with the right partner for each engagement.
- Assessing verification requirements for your specific situation
- Identifying and recommending suitable accredited verifiers
- Supporting the verifier engagement process
- Reviewing verification outputs for completeness and accuracy
- Building long-term verification relationships as CBAM obligations evolve
