Introduction to Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) Wizard

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) Wizard is designed as a specialized tool to assist users, primarily those outside the EU, in understanding and complying with the EU's CBAM requirements. This mechanism is part of the EU's climate policy aimed at reducing carbon leakage by imposing a carbon price on imports of certain goods from non-EU countries. The CBAM Wizard's primary purpose is to provide guidance on whether companies need to start reporting under CBAM and to combine this with the latest CBAM timeline and reporting obligations. For instance, a company importing iron into the EU can use the CBAM Wizard to determine the reporting requirements for their imports based on the current phase of the CBAM implementation.
