Trade Profile

Eurostat Comext records less than 1,000 t of EU imports from Iraq in each CBAM sector in 2025, so no sector is listed.

Source: Eurostat Comext, dataset DS-045409 (EU imports 2025), accessed 27 September 2026; summed by CBAM sector by DeCarbonPro, which is responsible for these totals, not Eurostat. Imports declared in Austria are not included.

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.

IR (EU) 2026/1740 Annex I publishes no Iraq values for iron & steel or aluminium. An EU buyer importing those goods from Iraq takes the "Other countries and territories" value instead, unless the producer supplies verified actual emissions [IR (EU) 2026/1740 Annex I, opening paragraph].

Article 9 — Carbon Price Deduction

No carbon price paid

Carbon pricing in Iraq: Iraq does not operate a domestic carbon pricing mechanism, emissions trading scheme, or carbon tax applicable to CBAM-covered goods.

No carbon price is paid in Iraq on CBAM-covered production, so there is nothing to deduct under Article 9. The full certificate cost applies to embedded emissions above the free allocation still granted (the CBAM factor × the benchmark; 97.5% of it on 2026 imports).

Our reading of Iraq'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.

Compliance Insight for Iraq Exporters

Iraqi producers whose EU importers bring in more than 50 tonnes net mass of CBAM goods in a calendar year, counted per importer across all CN codes (Regulation (EU) 2023/956, Article 2a(1); not applicable to electricity or hydrogen, Article 2a(4)), should prioritise a monitoring plan and an accredited verifier before the September 2027 declaration. Iraq's published defaults include 1.47 tCO₂e/t for urea (3102 10 19) and 2.12 tCO₂e/t for anhydrous ammonia (2814 10 00), before the 2026 mark-up of 1 %; a verified actual value carries no mark-up.

Four Steps to Compliance

1
Register in the CBAM Operators Portal
Upload installation identification data: legal name, UN/LOCODE, GPS coordinates, contact person. This enables your EU buyer's authorised declarant to access your verified data.
2
Establish a monitoring plan
Document all energy inputs, production outputs, and emission calculation methodology per the governing EU implementing regulation. This is the foundation for any verified data submission.
3
Engage an accredited verifier
Appoint a verifier accredited for CBAM by a national accreditation body of an EU Member State (Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/2551, Article 3); its verification activities follow EN ISO/IEC 17029:2019 (Annex II, point 1.5.1). The verifier visits the installation in person. A virtual visit replaces it only where serious, extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances prevent a physical one, or, after a physical visit in the immediately preceding reporting period, under the conditions of Article 3; a waiver needs physical visits in two reporting periods preceding the current one, including the immediately preceding one (Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2546, Articles 3 and 4). For an installation producing only electricity, the visit can instead be waived under the conditions of Article 3(2).
4
Share verified data with your EU buyer
Provide verified specific embedded emissions to your EU buyer's authorised CBAM declarant before the September 2027 declaration deadline. Verified actual data replaces default values, and a verified actual value carries no mark-up.
