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

Romania handles CBAM in the Ministry of Finance, through a dedicated CBAM and Green Taxation Directorate in Bucharest. A Romanian importer above 50 tonnes of CBAM goods a year needs authorised declarant status, and will ask its Indian supplier for verified emissions data per installation.

How the Romanian set-up works

• The CBAM and Green Taxation Directorate sits within the ministry's fiscal legislation and customs directorate general.
• It is the contact for authorisation questions and declaration reviews.
• Romanian steel and fertiliser buyers report through the same EU CBAM Registry as everyone else.

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 Romanian 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.
