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

Canonical: https://senseible.earth/answers/swedish-importer-cbam-indian-supplier

Sweden's competent authority for CBAM is the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (Naturvårdsverket). A Swedish importer above 50 tonnes of CBAM goods a year needs authorised declarant status and will need verified, installation level emissions from its Indian supplier to avoid default values.

## How the Swedish set-up works

- Naturvårdsverket is listed with a CBAM email and phone contact in Stockholm.
- The buyer's declaration for a year's imports is due by 30 September of the following year, so it needs your data before then.
- Goods from Norway and Iceland are outside CBAM, which is why Nordic buyers compare suppliers on this point.

## 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 Swedish 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.
