Can an importer have multiple indirect customs representatives?

Yes, both importers and indirect customs representatives can have multiple arrangements as follows:

  1. Importer with Multiple Indirect Customs Representatives:
    • An importer can engage different indirect customs representatives, with each representative assuming responsibility for specific CBAM goods declared in customs declarations. Each representative will present their unique Economic Operators Registration and Identification (EORI) number at customs, indicating accountability for CBAM reporting obligations. This approach prevents double-counting of embedded emissions.
  2. Indirect Customs Representative Handling Multiple Importers:
    • An indirect customs representative can manage CBAM reporting obligations for multiple importers. In such instances, the indirect customs representative consolidates all CBAM goods declared under their customs declarations into a single quarterly CBAM report. This ensures efficient reporting without submitting multiple reports for the same reporting period.
