Which products and countries are affected by CBAM?
Last updated: 2026-08-02·Verified: 2026-08-02
📋 Direct Answer
CBAM currently covers 6 product categories: cement, iron and steel, aluminium, fertilisers, electricity, and hydrogen. These are defined by specific TARIC codes (Chapter 25-72 and selected headings). China is one of the top CBAM-affected countries due to high steel and aluminium exports to the EU. From 2026, financial obligations begin. The EU may expand CBAM to cover additional sectors (chemicals, plastics, glass) from 2030.
