CBAM reference comparison

CBAM 72259100 — compare reference values for Flat-rolled products of alloy steel other than stainless, of a width of >= 600 mm, hot-rolled or cold-rolled "cold-reduced" and electrolytically plated or coated with zinc (excl. products of silicon-electrical steel)

For CN 72259100 (Flat-rolled products of alloy steel other than stainless, of a width of >= 600 mm, hot-rolled or cold-rolled "cold-reduced" and electrolytically plated or coated with zinc (excl. products of silicon-electrical steel)), the corrected Commission workbook provides 33 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.

Baseline arithmetic and year mark-up

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.

Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1740 — Annex I, opening paragraphs ↗. Independent published total; direct and indirect columns are informational. Final default values are calculated in the CBAM Registry; this tool is an unrounded arithmetic illustration.

Choose a row. No supplier emissions or certificate liability is determined.

Worked arithmetic for 100 tonnes

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.

Prepare the 72259100 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.

  1. Which of the grouped codes actually matches our documented product?

    Confirm the precise classification among 72259100, 72259200, 72259900. Identical recorded default tables do not resolve classification.

    Useful evidence: Product composition/specification, current commodity nomenclature and customs classification rationale

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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

  5. 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

  6. 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
