What does CBAM require?
Importers of carbon-intensive goods — iron, steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, hydrogen and electricity — must report embedded emissions, with financial obligations phasing in from 2026.
CARBON BORDER · CBAM
Track in-scope goods, collect supplier evidence, model embedded emissions, and keep quarterly CBAM workflows audit-ready—without losing traceability in spreadsheets.
CBAM targets imports of selected energy‑intensive goods. As rules tighten, teams must show embedded emissions, manage data from suppliers, and align with customs and registry processes.
Regtrue centralises import lines, questionnaires, calculations, and exports so operations, sustainability, and finance work from the same evidence-backed record.
Five guided steps to see whether CBAM likely applies and what to prepare next.

Interactive orientation — runs locally without an account.
Evidence-first
Not a questionnaire with attachments — a lineage your auditor, bank or key account can follow in one click.
Reused across regulations: the same supplier evidence can serve PPWR and EUDR — answer once, branch where regulations diverge.
Scope, data, cadence and how Regtrue helps.
Importers of carbon-intensive goods — iron, steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, hydrogen and electricity — must report embedded emissions, with financial obligations phasing in from 2026.
An emissions calculator, quarterly report preparation, and supplier campaigns to gather installation-level emissions data, all evidence-backed.
From your suppliers — supplier campaigns collect actual emissions data, with default values used where allowed.
Quarterly reports during the transitional period. Regtrue keeps data and evidence organised so each report is repeatable.
Yes. Emissions and supplier data can feed CBAM and your broader sustainability reporting.
It depends on import volume, product categories and supplier count. Regtrue scopes the CBAM module during onboarding; the free scope check shows whether CBAM applies to your imports at all.
Transitional reporting has been done in spreadsheets, but recurring quarterly cycles, supplier emissions data and audit trails multiply the manual work each quarter — and errors carry financial consequences as obligations phase in from 2026.
