CBAM / Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism Compliance Advisory

Service Details

As of January 1, 2026, the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) has entered full enforcement. The transition period has concluded, and it is now mandatory for companies exporting iron-steel, aluminum, cement, fertilizers, electricity, and hydrogen to the EU to purchase CBAM certificates for the embedded carbon emissions of their products. This situation creates a direct cost item and customs law matter for companies exporting from Turkey to the EU. Under the CBAM Compliance Advisory service, carbon footprint calculation, establishment of emission monitoring-reporting-verification (MRV) processes, and preparation of the CBAM declaration file in compliance with EU standards are carried out. With Turkey launching its own Emissions Trading System (ETS) pilot application, the legal infrastructure required for deducting national carbon pricing reductions from CBAM costs is also being evaluated. When Made in EU strategy and CBAM compliance are addressed together, origin advantage and carbon efficiency are simultaneously optimized, achieving a dual competitive advantage in the EU market. Carbon data is no longer merely an environmental reporting tool; it is directly a trade filter and cost factor.

Highlights

• Carbon footprint calculation and emission inventory management — compliant with EU methodology
• MRV (Monitoring, Reporting, Verification) system setup — verification process with accredited bodies
• CBAM certificate strategy and cost optimization — total carbon cost minimized including Turkey ETS deductions
