The CBAM certificate price is set weekly by the Commission as the average closing price of EU ETS allowances on the auction platform.

Verified embedded emissions of CBAM goods imported in the year.

Indicative ETS-linked weekly price; check the Commission's published value for the relevant week.

Phased increase set by Regulation (EU) 2023/956; 2.5% applies in 2026 and rises in later years.

Effective carbon price already paid in the country of origin, evidenced under the implementing rules.
