UK CBAM Exposure Check

Do you actually need to register, and where does your exposure sit?

A two-minute check against the £50,000 rolling 12-month importer threshold, plus an honest read on how exposed you are to default values if your suppliers can't yet provide verified data. Not a cost estimate, the real rates aren't published yet, this tells you where you stand and what to do next.

Which CBAM sectors do you import?

Tick everything that applies, and give a rough annual value for each. A round estimate is fine, this isn't a customs declaration.

Glass and ceramics are confirmed for later inclusion, not part of the 2027 launch scope, so they're not counted here yet.

What this means, in practice

This check tells you where you stand against the threshold and how much of your supply base is currently unverified, it isn't a cost figure, the actual UK ETS price, Carbon Price Support rate and sector default values will be published closer to 2027 and will move over time. What it does tell you is who to start the data conversation with, and when.

Common questions

Is this a cost estimate?

No. The real UK ETS price, Carbon Price Support rate and sector default values aren't published yet, so any cost figure right now would be a guess. This checks your registration exposure and data readiness, not a bill.

What happens to my email and company details?

They're used only to follow up on this check, not added to a mailing list. See our Privacy Policy for the full detail.

I'm a supplier exporting into the UK, not an importer, does this apply to me?

The threshold check is written for UK importers, but the same underlying question, which sectors and what value, matters to a supplier too, since it determines whether your UK customers will be asking you for verified data. Worth running anyway.
