What does a Danish importer's CBAM authority mean for an Indian supplier?

Denmark splits CBAM across three agencies: the Danish Energy Agency for monitoring and reporting, the Danish Business Authority for authorisation and certificates, and the Danish Customs Agency for registry access. A Danish importer above 50 tonnes a year will still ask you for verified emissions.

How the Danish set-up works

• Monitoring and reporting questions go to the Danish Energy Agency.
• Authorisation as a declarant and CBAM certificates sit with the Danish Business Authority.
• User access to the CBAM Registry is handled by the Danish Customs Agency.

What your buyer will ask you for

• The installation that made the goods and the calendar year of production.
• Specific embedded emissions per tonne, with a verification report from an EU-accredited verifier if actual data is used.
• The data for the free allocation adjustment and, where one applies, the carbon price paid in India.

If you cannot send verified data

Your buyer can still declare using the Commission's default values, which carry a mark-up and usually cost more. A Danish buyer facing that bill will push for your actual figures or compare you with suppliers who have them.

What Senseible does here

Senseible keeps supplier invoices and the emissions data that comes with them in one dated, fingerprinted record per shipment, and its CBAM cost calculator estimates certificate cost from 2026 to 2034. Senseible does not verify emissions, register declarants or file CBAM declarations.
