CBAM Resources & Guidance

HMRC's new guidance explains how overseas producers monitor and verify emissions so UK importers can use real figures instead of default values, and it asks for technical feedback by 13 November.

HMRC has published illustrative CBAM rates for all five sectors and the default emissions values that will apply in 2027 and 2028, so UK importers can at last put a working number on January's liability.

Five verification bodies in Greece, Italy and Sweden now hold a documented CBAM accreditation, while the Commission's official list stays empty. Capacity, not willingness, may decide who gets verified data in time.

The Commission's third quarterly CBAM certificate price is €82.32, up from €75.28. After two flat quarters, importers have their first reminder that the price moves with the carbon market.

The first accredited CBAM verifiers have been announced, and the Commission has published new registry resources and an updated accreditation report. Capacity is now the question for 2027.

The regulations setting out how embodied emissions must be measured and verified under the UK CBAM have been laid before Parliament, completing the legal framework for January 2027.

HMRC has published its provisional list of overseas carbon pricing schemes that qualify for relief under the UK CBAM, and the EU ETS is on it.

New Commission guidance spells out what CBAM verification must deliver: reasonable assurance, a 5 per cent materiality threshold, and accredited, registered verifiers.
