CBAM: consulting and technical support
From 1 January 2026 the CBAM regulation enters the definitive phase.
This means that all EU importers exceeding 50 tonnes/year of CBAM goods (steel, iron, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, hydrogen, electricity) must ensure the full compliance with the mechanism. In particular, they must:
- submit the application for authorised CBAM registrant by 31 March 2026
-
report on embedded emissions in imported goods
-
complete and submit the annual CBAM declaration (first deadline: 30 September 2027)
-
purchase CBAM certificates required to cover declared emissions
Ollum offers CBAM consulting and comprehensive technical support EU importers, accompanying them in all aspects of regulatory, operational and economic compliance.
Why rely on a CBAM consultant?
Relying on an expert advisor in accordance with the CBAM Regulation has several advantages:
- Avoid the risk of fines
The CBAM is a new, technical and evolving mechanism. A consultant helps you to correctly interpret the regulations, correctly complete the CBAM declaration and manage deadlines, eliminating the risk of non-compliance and penalties. - Avoid unnecessary CBAM costs
Without technical support, many companies resort to default values, which leads to paying more for CBAM certificates than necessary. A CBAM consultant supports the calculation of actual emissions, coordinates non-EU suppliers and verifies data, helping to reduce the economic impact of CBAM. - Assess the impact of CBAM on margins and prices
A consultant does more than just compliance: he helps you estimate the impact of CBAM on margins, simulate the effect on prices and integrate the cost of carbon into sourcing and pricing choices.
Who might benefit from advice on CBAM compliance?
The CBAM compliance is mandatory for all EU companies importing more than 50 tonnes of CBAM goods per year.
Our CBAM consultancy combines regulatory, technical and strategic support.
We support the EU importers in all activities required for compliance with the CBAM regulation: from data collection to reporting on emissions incorporated in imported products.
We also support the non-EU suppliers exporting to the European market, helping them to calculate the emissions of their products according to the CBAM methodology and to provide European customers with reliable reporting information.
What steps do we support?
1. Obtaining authorised CBAM registrant status (by 31 March 2026)
To operate in the final phase, it is necessary to register in the CBAM Register and obtain the authorised CBAM registrant status (expiry date: 31 March 2026!).
Ollum provides CBAM regulatory assistance in filling out the application and managing the entire authorisation process.
2. Calculation of CBAM direct and indirect emissions in imported products
The calculation of direct and indirect emissions is central to the declaration and to determining the number of CBAM certificates to be purchased. We can use either default data, simpler but conservative, which specific data verified by non-EU suppliers, more accurate and potentially more efficient. We can also support your non-EU suppliers in the calculation of emissions required for the purposes of the regulation.
3. Quarterly monitoring of CBAM emissions and certificates
In addition to the annual declaration, we provide quarterly monitoring of CBAM emissions. From 2027, the importer must hold at least the 50% of CBAM certificates needed at the end of the quarter and return the 100% by 30 September of the following year.
Ollum offers support in sending the CBAM report (annual CBAM declaration), verifying the correctness of the data and compliance with deadlines. In addition, we carry out a estimated costs of CBAM certificates,to understand how much the CBAM affects the prices of imported goods.
When do I start buying CBAM certificates?
From 1 January 2026, the CBAM enters its final phase and the obligation shifts from reporting to the purchase of CBAM (carbon tax) certificates. The certificates will be purchasable from 1 February 2027 and will be used to cover 2026 import emissions. The first CBAM declaration definitive and the return of the 100% of certificates shall take place by 30 September 2027. The cost of the CBAM is borne entirely by the EU importer.
