Spot likely relevance early
Get a practical indication of whether a product flow appears likely to fall within the initial CBAM categories.
Operational guidance only. Not legal advice.
CBAMPlanner
Check whether an import is likely in CBAM scope, how close you are to the 50-tonne threshold, and what the next compliance step probably looks like.
Built for EU importers, customs-facing SMEs, trade and compliance teams, and indirect customs representatives. CBAMPlanner gives you a fast, practical first pass on likely CBAM relevance, threshold exposure, evidence to gather, and when to escalate internally or get specialist advice.
Browser-only by default. Use it privately without sending your case into a shared dashboard.

What CBAMPlanner helps you answer
- Is this product category likely covered by CBAM?
- Are we approaching or exceeding the 50-tonne level that can trigger authorised declarant action?
- If this looks relevant, what is the likely next step?
- What evidence should we collect before customs or compliance review?
- What are the signs this case needs escalation?
Why this matters now
The CBAM definitive regime started on 1 January 2026. If you are importing CBAM goods into the EU, the first question is no longer whether to pay attention later. It is whether this shipment, supplier, or product flow needs action now.
CBAM initially covers cement, iron and steel, aluminium, fertilisers, electricity, and hydrogen.
If an EU importer or indirect customs representative imports more than 50 tonnes of CBAM goods, authorised declarant status becomes a key next-step question. CBAMPlanner helps you get to that answer faster.
Check likely CBAM exposure before it turns into a scramble
Use CBAMPlanner to get a fast, practical view of scope, threshold exposure, next steps, and what to collect now.
No legal conclusions. Just a clearer operational starting point.
Your first-pass result will appear here
Answer the four questions to see likely relevance, threshold exposure, probable next step, evidence to gather, and escalation triggers.
Get a usable answer in minutes
Understand threshold exposure
See whether your current or planned imports appear comfortably below, near, or above the 50-tonne mark.
Know the likely next move
Understand whether the case looks like routine monitoring, evidence collection, internal review, or a likely authorised declarant escalation.
Prepare before you get blocked
Use the checklist to gather the basic product, supplier, and import evidence before the issue becomes urgent.
Reduce avoidable back-and-forth
Give customs, finance, and compliance teams a clearer starting point instead of an unstructured CBAM question.
How it works
Enter the basic import context
Add the product category, shipment or annual tonnage estimate, and a few practical details about the import flow.
Get an operational first-pass result
CBAMPlanner shows likely relevance, threshold exposure, the probable next action, and a simple evidence checklist.
Escalate only when needed
If the case looks unclear, high-volume, or sensitive, use the escalation signals to route it to the right internal owner or external adviser.
Made for teams who need a fast first answer
- EU importers checking whether a product flow needs CBAM attention
- Customs-facing SMEs that need a quick operational screen before deeper review
- Trade and compliance teams triaging cases across suppliers and imports
- Indirect customs representatives assessing whether declarant-related action may be needed
What you get from the tool
- Likely CBAM relevance
- Approximate threshold exposure view
- Likely declarant next step
- Evidence checklist
- Escalation triggers
Built for CBAM triage, not generic compliance browsing
CBAMPlanner is a focused public tool for one operational decision set: does this import look relevant, how close is it to the key threshold, what should we prepare, and when should we escalate?
It is not a broad regulatory database, not a supplier due-diligence product, and not a logged-in compliance workspace. It is built to give a quick, usable first answer for CBAM-related import decisions.
Quick answers
Is this legal advice?
No. CBAMPlanner is an operational screening tool. It helps you identify likely relevance, likely next steps, and what information to gather, but it does not replace legal or specialist advice.
What goods does this cover?
CBAM initially covers cement, iron and steel, aluminium, fertilisers, electricity, and hydrogen.
Why does the 50-tonne level matter?
Where an EU importer or indirect customs representative imports more than 50 tonnes of CBAM goods, authorised declarant status becomes an important next-step question.
