What CBAM charges, by origin and by certificate price
CBAM charges an importer for the emissions embedded in a good, less the free allocation an equivalent EU producer would receive. Where no verified emissions data is supplied, an EU country default value is used instead. This is what that costs, origin by origin, at a certificate price you choose.
| Origin | Goods in scope | Modelled charge | Share of value | Default intensity |
|---|
Goods in scope is the whole CBAM basket for that origin and does not change with the sector filter; the charge and its share do. Default intensity is the trade-weighted EU default for that origin, in tonnes CO₂e per tonne of goods.
What this is, and what it is not
Every figure is recalculated in your browser from cbam-exposure-by-origin.csv and cbam-verification-by-origin.csv, the same files behind the research report. The certificate price is a plain multiplier on the certificates due, so moving it is exact.
- A default-value scenario, not a forecast. It shows what is charged if no verified emissions data is supplied. What is actually collected depends on how much verified data importers obtain.
- The mark-up year is not a control here. The mark-up rises from 10% in 2026 to 30% from 2028, but it sits inside a comparison against the benchmark rather than scaling the answer, so it cannot be moved client-side without rebuilding the charge per customs code. Until that recomputation reproduces the published 2026 total exactly, it is left out rather than shown as an approximation.
- Country averages are not verified data. The comparison shown for some origins uses a published country-level intensity. It estimates where better data would matter; it cannot determine the charge for an individual consignment.
- Carbon prices paid in the country of origin are not deducted. Any recognised carbon price would reduce the certificates ultimately due.
- Indonesia should be read with care. Its default value corresponds to ferro-nickel and is not comparable with the other origins.
- Indicative desktop analysis of public information, not advice.
