What is the CBAM default value for cast iron pipe fittings exported from India?

Indian fittings of non-malleable cast iron, CN 7307 11, and of other cast iron, 7307 19 10, carry a CBAM default of 3.859 t CO2e per tonne. Cast steel fittings under 7307 19 90 carry 4.320. Direct emissions only, before the 10% mark-up for 2026.

India default values, t CO2e per tonne

• 7307 11 fittings of non-malleable cast iron: 3.859
• 7307 19 10 fittings of other cast iron, including malleable: 3.859
• 7307 19 90 cast steel fittings: 4.320
• Indirect emissions: not applicable

Mark-up on top

Default values are raised by a mark-up: 10% in 2026, 20% in 2027 and 30% from 2028. Goods imported in 2026 take the 2026 mark-up.

What drives a foundry's actual figure

• Pig iron in the charge is a precursor: India's default for pig iron is 2.530 t per tonne, before mark-up, unless your supplier gives a verified figure.
• Scrap and foundry returns carry no embedded emissions.
• Cupola coke, and gas or oil for ladle preheating and heat treatment, are your direct emissions.
• Induction furnace electricity is not counted for iron and steel goods.

Records to keep

Charge sheets with pig iron and scrap per melt, coke and fuel invoices, and good castings despatched. Melt yield matters: each tonne of fittings carries the precursor of every tonne melted for it, including runners and rejects.

Example: pig iron inside one tonne of fittings, 2026

• Metal melted: 1.6 t per tonne of good fittings
• Pig iron at 30% of the charge: 1.6 x 0.30 = 0.48 t
• Pig iron on its default: 0.48 x 2.530 x 1.10 = 1.34 t CO2e
• Fitting default with mark-up: 3.859 x 1.10 = 4.24 t CO2e
• Add your cupola coke and fuel to the first figure and compare

What Senseible does here

Senseible reads coal, coke, gas, electricity and freight invoices into a dated record per site, so an actual figure you send an EU buyer traces back to the documents behind it. We build it from your records, check every figure in-house, and an accredited verifier we partner with signs it off. Have your own verifier? Send it to them.
