The new CBAM Regulation (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism) brings with it new reporting and registration obligations for many companies that import goods into the EU. In particular, the two-stage registration process, which comprises both a national and a central EU level, presents companies with a number of hurdles. Successful completion of the CBAM process requires a precise approach in order to avoid errors and submit all reports correctly.
CBAM registration begins at national level in the customs portal and is then continued in the EU transitional register. This central register serves as a platform for providing all relevant data in the CBAM reports. Nevertheless, the interaction between the different portals often leads to challenges that make smooth registration and reporting difficult.
1. complexity of the "Where Are You From" section
Many companies encounter problems here, as it is often unclear which information is required in the EU transitional register and which combinations are permitted.
2. problems accessing the report generation menu
Even after successful registration, some companies may find that certain menu options are not available to them in the EU transitional register.
3. forwarding between the customs portal and the EU transitional register
A frequent stumbling block is the correct sequence for logging in to the various portals, which can lead to recurring error messages.
4. enter correct representative information
Entering the correct information about the role of importer and representative can lead to confusion, especially when it comes to correctly assigning the different identification numbers.
5. specifications for HS codes and installation data
The entry of HS codes and installation details is mandatory, whereby specific format specifications must often be adhered to, which are not always immediately clear.
CBAM registration and reporting is a complex process that requires detailed knowledge of portal functions and form requirements. Companies that familiarize themselves with the most common pitfalls in advance can avoid potential errors and delays.
