CBAM Transitional Registry

Go to the CBAM Transitional Registry

In the CBAM Transitional Registry, importers can submit reports related to the CBAM. Reports are required if you import goods subject to the carbon border adjustment mechanism, i.e. CBAM goods.

The CBAM Transitional Registry is maintained by the EU.

Logging in

If you are the managing director of the company, you can submit the report yourself. Identify yourself with Suomi.fi identification in the CBAM Transitional Registry.  You are not required to have any mandates. Managing directors can also authorise other persons who can submit reports or issue further mandates.

If you have a trade name, you must grant a mandate to yourself.

For example, if you authorise an accounting firm or a consultancy firm, you must authorise an employee to do transactions, not the firm itself. Authorised employees log in to the CBAM Transitional Registry using the EORI number of the company that issued the mandate. See login instructions under “Login instructions for companies”.

What mandate is needed?

  • Use the mandate “Declaring information related to the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism.”
  • The type of mandate must be a mandate for transactions.

For instructions, see:

Authorised parties have access to company information

Note that if you use the Suomi.fi authorisation service in electronic transactions between your company and an authorised party, for example an accountancy firm employee, the authorised party will see all your company information.

To log in, you need an EORI number.  Using the service also requires Suomi.fi identification.
