CBAM: What It Means for Your Business
From 1 January 2026, the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) has entered its definitive regime. Carbon emissions now directly impact the cost of exporting to the EU.
Exporters are increasingly required to provide accurate and defensible emissions data to support their EU customers.
Whether you are responding to requests or preparing for compliance, understanding your position is essential.
Not Sure Where to Start?
If you are new to CBAM or want to build your understanding, start here:
Have a specific question about thresholds, responsibilities or timelines?
Understand how the EU CBAM works, what has changed in 2026, and how it affects UK exporters.
Asses Your Exposure
If you are unsure whether CBAM applies to your business, or how prepared you are, our free Health Check provides a quick and structured assessment.
In just five minutes, you will receive a report outlining:
Whether your goods are likely to fall within CBAM scope
Your current level of readiness
A clear traffic-light risk rating
This allows you to understand whether immediate action is required.

Looking Ahead: UK CBAM
The UK is introducing its own Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism from 2027, creating a separate framework for imports into the UK.
Businesses trading across both the UK and the EU may need to manage dual CBAM regimes, each with different thresholds, calculation approaches and reporting requirements.
Understanding EU CBAM now will support broader readiness, but the two systems should not be assumed to operate identically.
