Are bright and cold-finished steel bars under CN 7215 covered by CBAM?

Question

Senseible · Accepted Answer

Yes. Other bars and rods of iron or non-alloy steel, CN 7215, which includes cold-drawn and bright bars, is covered under the Chapter 72 line. Direct emissions only. Your figure is the hot-rolled bar's embedded emissions plus any fuel you burn while finishing. Yes. CN 7215 covers bars and rods not further worked than cold-formed or cold-finished, and other bars. Alloy bright bars fall under 7228 and stainless under 7222, both covered. The hot-rolled bar or wire rod you drew from, with its maker's embedded emissions per tonne. Your own annealing or heat treatment fuel, if you burn gas or oil on site. 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 We do not quote the figure here.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 bar, 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. Using the bar mill's figure per tonne without yield. Drawing, peeling and cutting lose material, so a tonne of bright bar needs more than a tonne of hot-rolled bar. Scale the precursor by your actual input per tonne of output.
