To ensure parity between installations within the EU ETS and those in other jurisdictions, the payment of a carbon price in the country or sub-national region where a CBAM good, along with its precursors, are manufactured will lead to a reduction in the CBAM obligation from 2026 onward. This reduction also applies during the transitional period of the CBAM, which extends until the conclusion of 2025. The reporting of carbon prices throughout this transitional phase is crucial for informing the European Commission and aiding in considering potential enhancements to the CBAM legislation. It is essential to gather information for each precursor purchased if a carbon price is applicable in its country of origin. In cases where the producer of the precursor fails to furnish the required information, importers must assume the carbon price for the precursor to be zero. Leveraging the CBAM Platform of Dubrink facilitates importers in requesting, receiving, validating, and storing such data, streamlining compliance and ensuring adherence to regulatory standards.
