Our EU importer asks for our installation's name, address and coordinates for CBAM. Why?
CBAM data is tied to the installation where goods were made, not to the company. Importers must identify each installation in their declaration, so they ask for its name, address, coordinates and production route. Give details for the plant that actually made the goods.
What to give
- Installation name and full address.
- Geographic coordinates of the main site.
- Production processes and routes used.
- Contact person for monitoring data.
Several plants
Each plant needs its own record. Do not send one company figure for goods made at different sites.
Keep it the same
Use the same details every time, so the importer's records match across periods.
What Senseible does here
Senseible reads fuel, power and production records into dated, fingerprinted installation records, the starting point for the actual emissions your EU importer asks for.
