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

Poland splits CBAM between two bodies: the National Centre for Emissions Management (KOBiZE) and the Chamber of Tax Administration in Poznań. A Polish importer above 50 tonnes a year needs authorised declarant status and will ask Indian suppliers for verified emissions per tonne.

How the Polish set-up works

• KOBiZE, part of the Institute of Environmental Protection, is listed as a competent authority for CBAM.
• The Chamber of Tax Administration in Poznań is listed alongside it, with its own CBAM contact point.
• Importers keep records per shipment so the declaration can be matched to customs data.

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 Polish 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.
