Introduction to CBAM for UK Exporters and Importers
The EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a significant change to the way carbon‑intensive goods are traded with the EU, with direct implications for UK exporters and importers. Now in its transitional phase, CBAM will introduce financial charges from January 2026, while the UK is also proposing a domestic CBAM system from January 2027.
This event provides a clear and practical introduction to CBAM, explaining what it is, why it has been introduced, and how it operates. It will clarify who is responsible for complying with the rules, outline current requirements and expected future updates, and explore the specific impact on UK businesses trading with the EU.
Attendees will receive hands‑on guidance on CBAM reporting, including how to complete the required forms and a worked example to illustrate the process. The session will also include an overview of the proposed UK CBAM system, helping businesses understand what changes may be ahead and how to begin preparing.
Designed for UK exporters, importers and trade professionals, this event will help you build confidence in understanding CBAM obligations and managing compliance effectively.
