A one-page forensic PDF telling your company exactly what your CBAM certificate cost will be per shipment — and what you need to do before the 2027 surrender deadline.
From 1 January 2026, CBAM certificates are priced and purchased. South African exporters who use EU default emission values instead of actual measured values face a 10% markup penalty on their certificate cost — rising to 30% by 2028. This report shows you exactly what that costs your company.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Confirmed whether your specific product (by CN code) falls under Regulation (EU) 2023/956 and the exact compliance obligations that apply.
Your estimated CBAM certificate cost per shipment using EU Commission default emission values, calculated at the current EU ETS carbon price.
Forward-looking estimate of your annual CBAM liability in both EUR and ZAR, with sensitivity analysis across three ETS price scenarios.
Exactly who in your EU supply chain must register as an Authorised CBAM Declarant and what documentation they will require from you.
A prioritised list of the 5 actions your company must take before 30 September 2027 to avoid the 10% default emission penalty.
How South Africa's Carbon Tax Act interacts with CBAM and whether your existing carbon tax payments reduce your CBAM certificate obligation.
SECTORS COVERED
Reports are available for all products classified under CN codes 72–73 (steel), 76 (aluminium), 31 (fertilisers), 25.23 (cement), and 28.04 (hydrogen) as defined in Annex I of Regulation (EU) 2023/956.
