If your CBAM numbers are still coming from a spreadsheet guess, a 20% miscalculation is a direct hit to your margin. Our free CBAM Import Cost Estimator calculates certificate costs for iron, steel, and aluminium shipments into the EU — enter goods category, origin country, tonnage, and declaration year, and get back the certificate cost in euros, total embedded emissions, and a full methodology breakdown. It covers 13 CN-code categories and ~60 countries with country-specific emissions defaults (Angola sintered ore isn't Turkish sintered ore), applies the correct year-based markup automatically, and exports to PDF/CSV so finance, purchasing, and compliance are all working from the same figures.
