Two CBAM files you can use today

Every country table from the Commission's default values in one list you can filter (Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2621, Annex I, as replaced by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1740). It also holds the highest default values for precursors whose country of production cannot be identified, and the CBAM benchmark values of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2620, which apply from 1 January 2026 and are due for revision.

• Pick a country, type the CN code as the Commission lists it, and see the value with the mark-up for 2026, 2027 and 2028 onwards
• The mark-up is added as formulas you can read: 10, 20 and 30 % for cement, iron and steel, aluminium and hydrogen; 1 % for fertilisers. The CBAM Registry calculates the final values; the file is a guide.
• Default values unchanged from the Commission's published workbook, version 2 of 6 August 2026; benchmarks unchanged from its benchmarks workbook
• Electricity is not included

Useful to an importer checking a default value, and to an operator outside the EU who wants to see the default value their buyer's CBAM declaration uses when embedded emissions are not determined from verified actual emissions (Regulation (EU) 2023/956, Articles 7(2) and 8(1)).

What you need to ask installations outside the EU for the data behind actual emissions, and to follow up until it arrives.

• Three emails you edit and send: first request, reminder, follow-up on missing data
• A request form, one per installation, that asks line by line and names the provision behind each line
• A tracker for up to 200 suppliers, from first request to complete data, with overdue dates marked
• Covers goods other than electricity

For authorised CBAM declarants (Regulation (EU) 2023/956, Article 5), whether importers or indirect customs representatives acting for them, and their advisers.
