What is CBAM?

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is the EU's landmark tool to put a fair price on the carbon emitted during the production of carbon-intensive goods that are entering the EU. While the legal obligation falls on EU importers, the operational burden of providing accurate embedded-emissions data falls squarely on manufacturers in Thailand.

1

Who it affects

Exporters of carbon-intensive goods (cement, steel, fertilizers, aluminum, electricity) to the EU must document embedded emissions

2

Why it matters

Incomplete emissions data can delay shipments, trigger conservative tariff calculations, or disqualify products from preferred treatment

3

The burden on suppliers

Manufacturers must gather process data, energy consumption records, and supplier emissions to prove compliance

CBAM Frequently Asked Questions

The EU importer (Authorized CBAM declarant) is legally responsible, but they rely entirely on data provided by the non-EU manufacturer (you) to complete their reports.

The current transitional period (Oct 2023 – Dec 2025) is for reporting only. Actual carbon costs and tariff payments will begin on January 1, 2026.

EU importers will be forced to use 'default values' which are typically more conservative and expensive. This makes your products less competitive and may lead to buyers switching to more transparent suppliers.

Currently: Iron & Steel, Aluminum, Cement, Fertilizers, Electricity, and Hydrogen. The scope is expected to expand to more manufactured goods in the coming years.

You must document process-specific energy consumption, production volumes, and emissions data from your own raw material suppliers to pass buyer audits.
