CBAM 72181000 — compare reference values for Steel, stainless, in ingots and other primary forms (excl. waste and scrap in ingot form, and products obtained by continuous casting)
For CN 72181000 (Steel, stainless, in ingots and other primary forms (excl. waste and scrap in ingot form, and products obtained by continuous casting)), the corrected Commission workbook provides 30 numeric country/route baseline totals. Use the table to compare the documented production origin and route, then enter a mass. A separate, sourced year mark-up can be illustrated below. These values are defaults, not measured supplier emissions; neither calculation establishes lawful default use or certificate liability.
Evidence retrieved 2026-10-06. Source versions and topic-specific limits are listed below.
Country and production-route comparison
Published baseline values
Match the documented production country, exact code and route to a source row. All emission values below are tCO₂eq per tonne of good, before the separate year mark-up. Direct and indirect columns are informational; the independent published total is used for arithmetic.
N/A means the source marks that cell not applicable. Missing means no numeric value is supplied. Neither means zero. A numeric zero is shown as zero.
The correcting act’s Annex I applies a mark-up to the independent total. This table covers Iron and steel. 10% in 2026, 20% in 2027, 30% from 2028. A year-adjusted default illustration does not calculate the certificates you owe.
Alphabetical source examples; the rows are not recommended origins or suppliers. The baseline and 2026 illustrations answer different arithmetic questions.

Parse numeric total strings with exact decimal arithmetic and display decimal points in English. Keep original strings and distinguish N/A, missing and zero. Baseline = published total × illustrative mass. Separately, an eligible-year illustration = total × (1 + Annex I sector mark-up) × mass. Do not reconstruct totals by adding direct and indirect columns; do not round intermediate values or choose a missing-row fallback automatically.
Pure reference multiplication, conditional on the exact source dimensions. It does not establish lawful use of a default, measured installation/supplier emissions, reporting-period eligibility, adjustments, deductions, certificate quantity or a financial liability.
3 country rows have no numeric direct, indirect or total values
These source markers remain unresolved. Missing values do not mean zero emissions or an exemption.

Prepare the 72181000 supplier and verifier worksheet
Use this checklist to gather your business or product details before speaking with a specialist. The items below explain what to record and suggest useful supporting documents. You can add your own answers in the editable project brief.
Which of the grouped codes actually matches our documented product?
Confirm the precise classification among 72181000, 72189919, 72189980. Identical recorded default tables do not resolve classification.
Useful evidence: Product composition/specification, current commodity nomenclature and customs classification rationale
Which documented product characteristics establish our precise CN/TARIC classification?
Match the exact recorded code and description; a marketing name cannot establish classification.
Useful evidence: Product composition, specification and documented customs classification rationale
Which country of production, installation and production-route row applies?
Compare the 33 published country labels above. A supplier address alone does not establish production origin or route.
Useful evidence: Installation identifier, location, production route and relevant precursor information
Do we have actual supplier emissions evidence or a supported basis for using defaults?
Ask the specialist to verify the applicable legal conditions; defaults are not measured emissions.
Useful evidence: Monitoring plan, source measurements, calculation records, reporting period and verification evidence
Which values or scope facts are missing from the workbook?
Missing markers remain unresolved. The workbook excludes the separate Annex II/III datasets for indirect emissions and electricity as a CBAM good. Direct and indirect values can be rounded independently; do not reconstruct the total by summing them.
Useful evidence: Governing and correcting acts, applicable annex, unit and source version
What engagement can a verifier actually cover?
Confirm the installation, goods, period, deliverables, exclusions and relevant accreditation evidence before engaging. No provider accreditation or availability is inferred here.
Useful evidence: Verifier scope evidence, proposed engagement and operator/importer responsibilities
Work packages and dependencies
Conditional: CBAM Verification — Reconcile documented product classification, actual installation/country/route, reporting period and supplier emissions evidence; assess any lawful default use and agree the exact verifier scope.
Questions for providers
How will you validate our 72181000 classification and applicable country/production-route row?
Which supplier monitoring and precursor evidence is missing before you can verify the 72181000 engagement?
Which governing and correcting act provisions control default use for our period, and which calculations remain outside your scope?
What current evidence supports your accreditation for the proposed goods and engagement?
