Deadlines & what to hand your EU importer
The calendar
- Until end 2025 (transitional): your importer filed quarterly CBAM reports, due within a month of each quarter’s end.
- From 1 January 2026 (definitive): embedded emissions accrue certificate obligations (2.5 % in 2026, rising yearly to 100 % by 2034). The importer files an annual CBAM declaration; the first one — covering 2026 imports — is due by 30 September 2027.
- Quarterly is still the practical cadence: buyers ask for per-quarter data so their books reconcile and surprises surface early. SOLANIQ’s packs are quarterly for that reason.
What your importer actually needs from you
- Your identity as producer: legal name, ICE, production site.
- Per good (by CN code): quantity produced and exported, the specific embedded emissions (direct + indirect where in scope), and the basis — actual data or default values.
- The production method and its qualifying parameters (registry P/QPD codes).
- The methodology and every emission factor used, with sources — so a verifier can trace each number.
The CBAM Suite exports exactly that as a supplier data pack: a branded PDF (EN/FR, plus an Arabic print view) and a registry-shaped XML that validates against the official schema. Your importer — the declarant of record — completes their own identification and signatures and files. You never file yourself; you make filing easy.
