Is narrow steel strip under CN 7211 and 7212 covered by CBAM?

Question

Yes. Flat-rolled iron or non-alloy steel under 600 mm wide, uncoated (7211) or coated (7212), is covered under the Chapter 72 line. Direct emissions only. Slitters and re-rollers pass on the coil maker's figure and add their own furnace fuel. Yes. CN 7211 is uncoated strip under 600 mm wide and CN 7212 is clad, plated or coated strip of the same width. Both sit inside Chapter 72, which Annex I covers apart from most ferro-alloys and scrap. The parent coil, hot-rolled or cold-rolled, with its maker's embedded emissions per tonne. If you re-roll from billets, the billet as crude steel with its maker's figure. The Commission sets default values by CN code and country of origin in the annex to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2621, with a mark-up that rises over the first years. We do not quote the figure here. Open the annex, find your code and India, and treat it as the number your buyer pays on if you send nothing usable. Direct embedded emissions per tonne of strip, in tonnes of CO2, for the period the importer asks about. The production route and the installation's name, location and, if registered, its CBAM registry ID. Each precursor's embedded emissions and quantity per tonne, and who made it if you bought it. Whether a verifier accredited for CBAM has checked the figure. The importer can only use actual values that are verified. Assuming slitting adds nothing so no data is needed. Slitting itself burns little fuel, but the importer still needs the parent coil's figure and the mill that made it. Without that, the default value applies to every tonne.
