What to do
Check the CN code your EU customer declares for each line, not the material. For covered lines, the importer needs embedded emissions; for the rest, expect Scope 3 questions instead.
What Senseible does here
Senseible reads your fuel and electricity bills into dated, fingerprinted installation records, the starting point for the actual emissions your EU importer asks for, and its CBAM cost calculator estimates certificate cost from 2026 to 2034 for covered goods. Senseible does not verify emissions or file CBAM declarations.
