CBAM – Blíží se čas na získání statusu schváleného deklaranta pro CBAM

CBAM - The time is approaching to become an Authorized Declarant for CBAM

Importers of CBAM goods will have a lot of reading in the coming period clarifying legislation to implement CBAM, the first of which concerns the rules for obtaining status of Authorized Declarant for CBAM. This legislation will be of interest to all those who plan to import goods subject to CBAM into the customs territory of the Union after the end of 2025 - because without the status of authorized declarant for CBAM, the customs office will not release the goods.

In particular, applicants for the status of authorized declarant for CBAM will have to demonstrate financial and operational capacity, and newly established companies will be required to provide a guarantee.

Please note that obtaining this status will be considerably more time-consuming and administratively demanding than the process of gaining access to the CBAM portal for CBAM reporting purposes, so it is advisable to start preparing the application as soon as possible.

Anyone who fails to apply in the first half of 2025 runs the risk of not importing goods subject to CBAM into the EU at all from 1 January 2026.

For assistance with becoming an authorized CBAM declarant or related questions, please contact the authors or the EY advisory team you are working with.
