• Kariqa for CBAM declarantsHow Kariqa helps EU importers and their indirect customs representatives with CBAM: recording imports, working out the CBAM certificates owed, working with non-EU producers and tracking deadlines.
• Kariqa for non-EU producersHow Kariqa helps producers outside the EU keep their installations and verified emissions in one place and share them with the importers they supply.

• What is CBAM, and does it apply to me?What the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism is, which goods it covers, the 50-tonne threshold, and what an importer has to do from 2026.
• How do I become an authorised CBAM declarant?Who needs the status, how to apply through the CBAM Registry, what applies while an application is pending, and the penalty for importing without it.
• Default values or actual emissions: which should I use?How the EU’s default values and a producer’s verified actual emissions differ, the mark-up on default values, and what verification involves.
• How is the cost of CBAM certificates worked out?How the number of CBAM certificates for an import is worked out, from embedded emissions to free allocation and the carbon price paid abroad, and what they cost.
• What do non-EU producers need to provide for CBAM?What EU importers need from the producers they buy from, whether producers have to register, and how verified emissions data reaches the importer.

Every figure on these pages comes from the EU’s own publications and is kept up to date as new ones appear.
