CBAM compliance for cement importers in Italy
Italian importers of CBAM-scope goods must register with the Comitato ETS. Carbon Border automates the entire filing plus the ongoing quarterly reporting to the CBAM registry. This page focuses on cement shipments through Genoa, Gioia Tauro, Trieste.
Who needs to register
Any importer established in Italy 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.
Carbon Border generates every field on the Comitato ETS at the Ministero dell'Ambiente e della Sicurezza Energetica application; you review, sign, and submit.
Top HS codes for cement imports through Italy
| HS code | Category | Default intensity (tCO₂/t) | 2026 liability / 100 t |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2523 | Cement | 0.90 | €8,205 |
| 2507 | Cement | 0.20 | €1,823 |
Figures use the EU 2026 default intensity + 10% markup at €85/tCO₂ × 97.5% phase-in factor. Verified supplier data drops the markup to zero — usually a 15-25% saving.
