What does an Irish importer's CBAM authority mean for an Indian supplier?
Ireland's competent authority for CBAM is the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), with Revenue listed as the contact for import policy. An Irish importer above 50 tonnes of CBAM goods a year needs authorised declarant status and will need your verified emissions per tonne.
How the Irish set-up works
- The EPA runs the CBAM authorisation and review side.
- Revenue, the Irish customs and tax authority, handles import policy questions.
- The UK runs its own CBAM, separate from the EU one, with its own rules.
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 Irish 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.
