Your bill, product by product, and the number that holds your price
Add each product you ship to the EU with the CN code your buyer declares. The tool prices it on your country's default value and on a verified number, then lists what has to happen before 30 September 2027.

Nothing is sent anywhere. The link carries your inputs so Climes or a colleague can open the same view.
Each product, default against verified
Verified figures use your estimate where you gave one, otherwise the typical range for that product and route (a Climes estimate, not a verified number). Precursor free allocation is not deducted, so the verified figure is conservative.
Verification readiness
This is the list a verifier works through on site. Every tick is a day less on the visit.
Precursor records to request
Most of your number is the metal you buy. One record per mill, uploaded once to the EU Operators Portal, covers every exporter who buys from it.

Upstream mill
Your number travels with every tonne your customers ship on
Describe your installation once. The tool shows what your product costs an EU importer on the default, what it would cost on your own number, and how many downstream products inherit it. Then it lists what the Operators Portal needs from you.

Customer requests
Requests arrive from exporters who buy your product. Publishing your record once answers all of them.

Build a tour: ready sites, one region, one week
Sites that have asked for a slot appear by cluster with their readiness. Pick the ones for a tour; the tool sizes it in days, tonnes and certificates at stake, and you confirm the week.
Clusters in
Five bodies accredited as of 13 October 2026, all in the EU. A site visit is required in the first verification; 2026 data is verified between January and September 2027.
Sites in
Example sites are anonymised. A site you hold a slot for in the Exporter workspace of this browser shows up here too.
Tour plan
Ten ready sites in one week instead of ten flights for ten unready ones. Readiness is what Climes prepares before you land.
EU importer
Your bill, supplier by supplier, and who to ask first
List what you import from India and Türkiye. The tool prices each line on the default, shows what a verified number would save, ranks suppliers by saving, and lays out the quarterly holding schedule for 2027.
Your suppliers
A line's country sets which default value applies. "Verified" lines use the typical verified intensity for that product; "self-reported" lines are treated as defaults, because an unverified number falls back to the default at the declaration.
Who to ask first
Certificates to hold, quarter by quarter
From 2027 you must hold certificates for at least 50% of the embedded emissions of goods imported so far that year at the end of each quarter. Shown for the selected year's imports, spread evenly across quarters, on today's data status.

The opportunity
What the country pays, by sector
Default cost per tonne per sector is a basket: three quarters the cost of the heading that carries most of the country's trade (India: hot-rolled flat 7208, unwrought aluminium 7601, grey cement; Türkiye: bars and rods 7213, 7601, clinker and cement), one quarter the median across every CN code in the sector. Trade weights by CN code are not published at this level.
What verified numbers change
Same tonnes every year, same price. Only the mark-up and the CBAM factor move. From 2027 the price is set weekly and will move too.
The whole universe
Every CN code in Annex I of the CBAM Regulation, with the default value the Commission published for the selected country (IR (EU) 2025/2621 as corrected by 2026/1740), the benchmark deducted (IR (EU) 2025/2620, Column B) and the cost per tonne at the year and price above.

| CN code | Sector | Direct | Indirect | Default | With mark-up | Benchmark | Cost EUR/t | Default ÷ benchmark |

Values in t CO2e per tonne of good. For iron and steel, aluminium and hydrogen only direct emissions are charged, so indirect reads N/A. "With mark-up" applies the year's mark-up (10% in 2026, 20% in 2027, 30% from 2028; 1% for fertilisers). Cost = (default with mark-up minus CBAM factor times benchmark) times the certificate price, floored at zero. Rows marked "other countries" have no country-specific value.
On time, not penalised
What has to happen by when
Fact base
Where every number comes from
The formula
Certificates per tonne of good = default value × (1 + mark-up) − CBAM factor × benchmark. Cost = certificates × price. Floored at zero. With a verified number the default is replaced by the installation's actual specific embedded emissions and the deduction uses the Column A benchmark for the installation's own route, plus the free allocation embedded in any precursor it declares.
Mark-up on default values: 10% for 2026 imports, 20% for 2027, 30% from 2028. Fertilisers: 1% in every year. CBAM factor: 97.5% (2026), 95% (2027), 90% (2028), 77.5% (2029), 51.5% (2030), falling to 0% in 2034.
Only direct emissions are charged for iron and steel, aluminium and hydrogen. Cement and fertilisers are charged on direct plus indirect emissions.
Certificate price: EUR 75.36 (Q1 2026), 75.28 (Q2), 82.32 (Q3, published 5 October 2026). Each 2026 import is charged at the price of the quarter it was imported in. From 2027 the price is set weekly. The Q4 2026 price is due on 4 January 2027.
Checks against independent figures
The per-tonne costs reproduce the cbamguide.com country tables to the cent for every product they publish: India hot-rolled flat steel EUR 277.60, semi-finished steel 277.18, unwrought aluminium 55.12, urea 112.18, grey Portland cement 80.56; Türkiye bars and rods 99.70, unwrought aluminium 39.73, urea 53.15, grey Portland cement 76.94. Those tables were built independently from the same regulations.
Benchmarks are matched to each default-value row by CN prefix and the production-route letter the Commission prints beside the default. Where a default row covers several 8-digit codes, the first matching benchmark is used and the row says how many codes it covers.
Typical verified intensities (used where a user has no estimate) are Climes estimates by product and route, drawn from our own plant work and the Commission's worked examples. They are labelled as estimates wherever they appear. Example companies, sites and requests in the workspaces are illustrative and anonymised.

This tool is for planning. The legally binding values are those in the regulations, and the number an importer declares must come from a verified monitoring plan. Climes builds that plan; an accredited verifier signs it. Workspaces are stored only in your browser and in any link you choose to share.
