CBAM, customs classification and HS code

Marzo 1, 2023 /

Which are the goods covered by the CBAM? The Annex I of the regulation (proposal) lists the main categories of goods with the HS codes and the greenhouses gases related. The list, below summarized, recalls the main role played by the customs classification which is one of the three pillars (with value and origin) of the customs obligation.

In other words, we have to take care of our classification becuase:

a) we risk infrigement of CBAM rules;

b) reduce our “reliability” (if AEO).

We have to:

a) monitor the internal process of customs classification;

b) check the customs  classification made in our behalf by other entities;

c)  discrepancies and audit from customs.
