EU CBAM Compliance · India → Europe

Don't let Carbon Taxes block your EU Revenue.

From 2026, every Indian steel, aluminium, and cement exporter must submit verified carbon data to the EU — or pay the price. TradeShield India translates your factory floor into EU-compliant emissions reports.

The 2026 cliff is closer
than your next shipment.

CBAM moved from quarterly reporting to Annual Declarations with mandatory third-party verification. Most Indian exporters are completely unprepared.

2023 — 2025
Transitional Phase

Quarterly embedded emissions reporting required. No certificates needed. Most Indian manufacturers ignored it entirely.

NOW CRITICAL
2026
Annual Declaration + Verification

EU importers must file Annual CBAM Declarations. Third-party verification becomes mandatory. Unverified data means automatic default values.

⚠ Without verified actual data, your EU buyer is assigned punitive default values — 30–50% higher than your real emissions. They will pass this cost back to you or switch suppliers.

2027 — Onwards
Full Financial Liability

CBAM certificates must be purchased for every tonne of embedded carbon. Non-compliant shipments face delays and exclusion from EU markets.

Your factory has the data.
The EU needs it formatted.

The problem isn't that Indian manufacturers are non-compliant — it's that their data exists in the wrong format, with no audit trail.

What your factory generates
Monthly EB bills (kWh totals, not batch-level)
Coal purchase invoices (quantity, not CO₂ equivalent)
Production logs (tonnes/shift, no Bill of Lading link)
Furnace records (temperature logs, no emission factor)
Vendor receipts (raw materials, no origin certification)
TradeShield India
What the EU auditor demands
Embedded carbon per tonne, per shipment, per BoL number
Fuel consumption × emission factor (EN ISO 14064)
MWh consumed × India grid factor (0.82 kg CO₂/kWh)
Third-party verified certificate from accredited body
5-year audit vault with all supporting documents
The Embedded Carbon Formula — Baked Into Our Dashboard
Direct Emissions = Fuel Consumption × Emission Factor
Indirect Emissions = MWh Consumed × 0.82 kg CO₂/kWh (India Grid)
Embedded Carbon = (Direct + Indirect) ÷ Total Production Volume

Your compliance data,
audit-ready at all times.

Our dashboard connects your production data to EU declaration requirements — with full traceability from factory floor to customs filing.
