By tonnes, the EU’s largest CBAM imports from Egypt in 2025 were fertilisers, cement, iron and steel and aluminium.
In 2025 the EU imported 3,748,508 t of fertilisers, 1,649,715 t of cement, 912,387 t of iron and steel and 231,343 t of aluminium from Egypt.

Cost per tonne of goods = the published default increased by the year's mark-up, less that year's specific embedded free allocation, charged at €82.32 (Q3 2026, official price of CBAM certificates) [IR (EU) 2026/1740 Annex I opening paragraph; IR (EU) 2025/2620 Annex point 4, Equation 6]. The cross-sectoral correction factor is 100 % for 2026 to 2030 (Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2026/1862). A producer who supplies verified actual emissions is charged on those instead, which is normally less.
What an unverified Egyptian export is charged on, per tonne: the EU default value for three goods from sectors Egypt exports to the EU, with the 2026 mark-up. Verified actual emissions replace these figures.
Carbon pricing in Egypt: Egypt does not currently operate a domestic carbon pricing mechanism, national emissions trading scheme, or carbon tax applicable to CBAM-covered goods.
No carbon price is paid in Egypt on the production of CBAM-covered goods, so there is nothing for a declarant to deduct. Egypt has a voluntary carbon market and has announced a domestic framework, neither of which produces a price effectively paid on these goods. Your EU buyer's declarant pays the full certificate cost on embedded emissions above the free allocation still granted (the CBAM factor × the benchmark; 97.5% of it on 2026 imports). A verified actual value carries no mark-up.
Our reading of Egypt's own published measures as at October 2026, not an EU-published value — third-country carbon policy changes without warning. Confirm the current position with advisers in the country of production before pricing anything on it.
Where your buyer declares actual emissions, they must be verified by a verifier accredited under Article 18 of Regulation (EU) 2023/956 (Article 8(1)). The verification rules, including site visits, are in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2546.
For goods imported in 2026, your buyer declares and surrenders by 30 September 2027, so that is the date by which your verified 2026 data has to reach them. Without it, the default value applies.
Get verification-ready with the platform ↗Egyptian fertiliser and steel producers whose EU buyers import more than the 50-tonne annual threshold (Regulation (EU) 2023/956, Article 2a, counted per importer) should prioritise establishing a monitoring plan and engaging an accredited verifier before the September 2027 declaration. Note: IR (EU) 2026/1740 Annex I publishes no country-specific default for Egyptian semi-finished steel, so CN 7207 11 11 falls back to the "Other countries and territories" value of 3.996 tCO₂e/t, 4.396 with the 2026 mark-up. A verified actual value carries no mark-up.
