Are cast iron and ductile iron pipes under CN 7303 covered by CBAM?

Question

Senseible · Accepted Answer

Yes. Tubes, pipes and hollow profiles of cast iron, CN 7303, are a covered Chapter 73 heading in Annex I. Direct emissions only. For ductile iron pipe the main precursor is the pig iron or hot metal you melt, plus your cupola or furnace fuel. Yes. Annex I covers 7301 to 7311, so cast iron pipes under 7303 are in. Ductile iron fittings usually fall under 7307, also covered. Manhole covers and other castings fall under 7325, which is not covered. Pig iron or hot metal, from your own blast furnace or bought in. Covered ferro-alloys, if added. Magnesium treatment alloys are not covered precursors. 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 We do not quote the figure here.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 pipe, 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. Leaving out the cement lining or coating weight. Declare per tonne of finished pipe, but the iron is what carries the embedded emissions. Report the iron per tonne of pipe and your own furnace, annealing and coke fuel as direct emissions.
