The Three Keys
Three mandatory compliance gates. All required for EU market access. No shortcuts, no exemptions. The Three Keys framework maps the complete compliance chain for South African exporters.
KYC Identity Verification
Verify your business identity before you can proceed to CBAM. EU Customs requires a verified entity record. Without Gate 1, Gates 2 and 3 are inaccessible. Complete your KYC registration at kycregistry.co.za.

Calculate your embedded carbon, obtain third-party verification, and establish your CBAM declaration. This is the financial gate. Without it, your Digital Product Passport will not be accepted at EU Customs.
