Definition (plain English)
CBAM is the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism that requires reporting, and later financial adjustment, for embedded emissions in covered imported goods. It adds data and cost obligations to affected supply chains.
Why it matters commercially
CBAM is tied to market-access evidence; gaps can stop shipments or trigger relabeling and corrective-action cost.
Example
Broker and importer aligned cbam details before filing to avoid holds, reassessment, or post-clearance corrections.
Common mistake
Assuming CBAM evidence from one market is automatically accepted in another without checking local requirements.
