Is There a Minimum Import Volume for CBAM Reporting?
A common misconception is that CBAM reporting only applies to large importers. In reality, CBAM obligations are based on product scope, not import volume.
No Minimum Volume Exemption Under CBAM
If you import CBAM-covered goods such as steel or aluminium into the EU, you must submit CBAM reports regardless of shipment size or frequency.
Why Small Importers Still Need CBAM Reporting
Even low-volume imports must be reported quarterly. While enforcement may be lighter for SMEs during early phases, non-reporting remains a compliance risk.
