CBAM compliance context

CN code 3105 20 90 falls within the Fertilisers sector under the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism. From January 2026, EU importers of goods under this CN code must surrender CBAM certificates to cover the embedded emissions of each tonne imported.

The first CBAM declaration covering 2026 imports is due 31 May 2027. Importers without an authorised CBAM declarant status will not be able to import goods in scope.

Default embedded emissions values are set by EU 2025/2621. Where actual monitored emissions are lower and can be verified, importers may use those instead — but must demonstrate compliance under the implementing regulation.

First declaration deadline: 31 May 2027

Covers all CBAM goods imported during the 2026 calendar year. Declarant authorisation must be in place before importing.

Forseti monitors CBAM implementing acts, certificate price publications, and declaration deadline changes — so your compliance calendar stays current without manual tracking.
