CBAM compliance for aluminium importers in Spain
Spain's CBAM Competent Authority (OECC) requires all importers over the 50-tonne de minimis to be authorised. We handle the Spanish-language application, supplier data collection and certificate procurement. This page focuses on aluminium shipments through Algeciras, Valencia, Barcelona.
Who needs to register
Any importer established in Spain whose cumulative annual imports of CBAM-scope goods exceed 50 tonnes across all EORIs. Below the threshold, voluntary registration is strongly recommended — the ETS certificate price rises 15%+ per year through 2034, and unregistered importers face a €50/tCO₂ non-compliance penalty on top of the base liability.
