Understand and manage UK CBAM
From import exposure to operational compliance
The UK Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) introduces new obligations for organisations importing carbon-intensive goods into the UK.
Understanding whether UK CBAM applies is only the first step. Organisations also need to assess their readiness for reporting and, where required, implement robust operational processes to manage ongoing compliance.
Notch supports organisations at every stage of that journey.
Step 1 – Understand your exposure
Before investing time and resources into compliance, it’s important to establish whether UK CBAM is likely to affect your organisation. Our free Import Check provides a fast, evidence-based assessment using your own HMRC CDS import data.
