CBAM

No CBAM report when annual imports are less than 50 tonnes

Geen CBAM-rapport wanneer de jaarlijkse import minder is dan 50 ton

On 15 April 2025, the Dutch regulator for CBAM, the Dutch Emissions Authority, communicated on its website that in 2025, there will no longer be a reporting obligation for importers who import less than 50,000 kg of CBAM goods. Parties importing more than 50,000 kg can use EU-issued default values for reporting. The change does not apply to electricity and hydrogen imports.

This gives many importers relief. It is expected that 90% of parties importing CBAM goods will be exempted from the obligations under the CBAM regulation now and after the regulations come into force on 1 January 2026.

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a European regulation deployed by the European Union (EU) to correct CO2 emissions released from the production of certain goods outside the EU. Customs and the Dutch Emissions Authority (NEa) work together to ensure compliance.
