Frequently asked questions
What is the Authorised CBAM Declarant (ACD) status?+
From 1 January 2026, only importers (or their indirect customs representatives) holding ACD status granted by the National Competent Authority of their member state may import CBAM goods into the EU customs territory. The bundle assembles the procedural, financial, and operational evidence the NCA requires to grant that status.
Does the 50-tonne de minimis exempt my shipments?+
The de minimis applies per importer per calendar year and only to steel, aluminium, cement, and fertiliser. Hydrogen and electricity have no threshold — a single kilogram triggers declaration obligations.
Why do I need supplier emissions data?+
From 2026, importers relying on the EU default emissions value pay a regulatory markup intended to incentivise verified data collection. Our supplier portal collects emissions directly from your overseas producers in a format the NCA accepts as primary evidence.
How long must records be retained?+
Article 10 of the implementing regulation requires retention of all underlying emissions data, supplier attestations, and customs documentation for five years after the year of import. Carbon Border LLC stores your bundle in an immutable vault for the full retention window.
Are you a law firm or licensed advisor?+
No. Carbon Border LLC provides regulatory technology and document automation. The bundle is engineered to mirror NCA submission requirements, but the legal responsibility for the declaration remains with the importer or their licensed representative.
If your annual imports are under the 50-tonne threshold for steel, aluminium, cement or fertiliser, you don't need us yet. Run the Quick Compliance Check above to find out where you stand.
