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.
Steel Exporter · 5,000 t/month to Germany
| EU Default Value | 2.67 tCO₂/t |
| Your Actual Emissions | 1.82 tCO₂/t |
| CBAM Certificate Price | €60/tCO₂ |
| Monthly Shipment | 5,000 tonnes |
| Overpayment (Default vs Actual) | €255,000/mo |
CBAM moved from quarterly reporting to Annual Declarations with mandatory third-party verification. Most Indian exporters are completely unprepared.
Quarterly embedded emissions reporting required. No certificates needed. Most Indian manufacturers ignored it entirely.
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.
CBAM certificates must be purchased for every tonne of embedded carbon. Non-compliant shipments face delays and exclusion from EU markets.
CBAM covers these sectors from day one. Click any card to see key data points and penalty exposure.
Highest penalty exposure. India is the world's 2nd largest steel producer.
Electricity-intensive. India's grid factor (0.82 kg/kWh) is high vs EU benchmarks.
Clinker-to-cement ratio and kiln fuel type are the key variables.
Natural gas feedstock and steam methane reforming heavily scrutinized.
India's high grid emission factor creates significant certificate exposure.
Green vs grey hydrogen certification matters for CBAM.
The problem isn't that Indian manufacturers are non-compliant — it's that their data exists in the wrong format, with no audit trail.
Our dashboard connects your production data to EU declaration requirements — with full traceability from factory floor to customs filing.
We handle the entire compliance chain — data collection, calculation, verification, and filing support. Zero disruption to your production schedule.
We map your current data against EU requirements and quantify your exact penalty exposure. No obligation.
Two site visits to your facility. We collect 12 months of EB bills, fuel invoices, production logs, and furnace records.
We calculate actual embedded carbon per shipment, per BoL, and generate the EU-format declaration report.
Our accredited auditor partner signs off on your data. All documents stored in a 5-year audit vault.
Select the form that applies to you. Takes 3 minutes. We respond within 24 hours.
