Manage Imports
Our platform allows users to upload their imports' data before uploading their suppliers. However, you can also upload your suppliers’ data first and then your imports.
⚠️ Please note that suppliers’ data must be added first if imports are entered manually.
Add Imports Manually
Go to Imports
Click New Import
Add a Consignment/Import ID
Specify the Clearance Date
For deciding at what date a CBAM good was imported, the "release to the market" (i.e., the clearance by the customs authorities) is the reference.
Click Add Content to include the first CBAM good in the consignment
What is a consignment?
A single consignment means products that are either:
(a) Sent simultaneously from one exporter to one consignee; or
(b) Covered by a single transport document covering their shipment from the exporter to the consignee or, in the absence of such document, by a single invoice
Select your Role
If you act as an Indirect Customs Representative, select Representative. Otherwise, select Importer.
Select Supplier
Select Installation
Only installations linked to the chosen Supplier will appear in the dropdown.
Search and select the imported CBAM good
When you select the CBAM good, its emission values will be displayed below. If actual emissions data for the selected CBAM good, linked to the chosen supplier and installation, has been entered, those values will appear. Otherwise, default emission values will be automatically applied.
Enter the Net Mass imported of the selected CBAM good
You can enter the net mass in tonnes or kilograms. If entered in kilograms, it will automatically convert to tonnes upon saving.
Enter the value of the CBAM good (in EUR)
It is crucial to input the nominal value, i.e., the customs value declared for the selected good, as this directly impacts your CBAM Report due to the de minimis exemption. This exemption applies to consignments where the total intrinsic value of the CBAM goods does not exceed EUR 150.
WARNING: If this threshold is not met, the CBAM goods within the consignment will automatically be excluded from your generated CBAM Report.
Enter Customs Information
Click Save to add the CBAM good to the consignment
If applicable, click Add Content to include an additional CBAM good in the same consignment
Click Save to add the consignment
Upload Imports Data
Upload Imports Without Suppliers' Data
Our software allows you to upload imports' data first, even before adding your suppliers' or installations' data.
Click Upload
Click Select file or drag your Excel file into the upload area
Select the sheet with the imports' data and click Next
View the Excel Information and Select the Header Row
Remove the Installation ID column
Note that since no supplier or installation data has been added to the system yet, you need to remove the installation ID column and keep only the Supplier ID.
Match the remaining columns from your Excel file to the platform fields, then click Next
If a column doesn’t match automatically, click the dropdown and choose the correct field for that column.
After clicking Next, a message will appear indicating the number of rows with non-CBAM CN codes that were excluded
Validate your data and click Confirm
You can now view the uploaded imports' data directly from the platform
Go to Suppliers page
Your Suppliers page will now display the suppliers with the IDs you used during the upload. The supplier names will initially match the IDs, but you can edit them by clicking on the corresponding row.
A panel in the top-right corner of the screen tracks which data points for suppliers are still missing.
Upload Imports After Adding Suppliers' Data
Below, we show an example of how to upload imports' data after the suppliers' data has been added.
Click Upload
Click Select file or drag your Excel file into the upload area
Select the sheet with the imports' data and click Next
View the Excel Information and Select the Header Row
Match the columns from your Excel file to the platform fields and click Next
If a column doesn’t match automatically, click the dropdown and choose the correct field for that column.
After clicking Next, a message will appear indicating the number of rows with non-CBAM CN codes that were excluded
Validate your data and click Confirm
You can now manage the uploaded imports' data directly from the platform
Prepare your Excel File for Data Uploads
To simplify the data upload process, we have created an Excel template for you to complete and upload your data directly to the platform.
You can download this template directly from here.
If you encounter any issues downloading the template, contact us at [email protected] and we'll send it to you.
You need to provide the following information:
- Consignment ID: Use a unique identifier for each consignment. This can be the ID from the single transport document, invoice, or purchase order. Alternatively, you can create new IDs, provided each one is unique to a consignment
- EORI/ID Number
This field is relevant only if you are acting as an Indirect Customs Representative. For each row, use the EORI/ID Number entered in the platform for the corresponding represented company.
- Customs Clearance Date
For deciding at what date a CBAM good was imported, the "release to the market" (i.e., the clearance by the customs authorities) is the reference.
- CN Code: Enter the CN Code without spaces between the digits
You can include CN Codes for both CBAM and non-CBAM goods. The platform will automatically exclude rows containing CN Codes that do not correspond to CBAM goods.
- Quantity: Enter the mass imported of the CBAM Good
- Measurement Unit: Enter the quantity in either kilograms (kg) or tonnes; all entries will be automatically converted to tonnes
- Value of Goods: Ensure you input the nominal value (customs value declared for the CBAM good). Consignments valued at EUR 150 or less are exempt and will be excluded from your CBAM Report
- Installation ID: Use the same ID you assigned to the installation when you entered or uploaded its information to specify where the imported CBAM good was produced
- Supplier ID: Use the same ID you assigned to the supplier when you entered or uploaded their information to specify from which supplier the imported CBAM good was purchased
Remember, for your connected suppliers, you must also enter their ID and use that same ID for uploading your imports' data.
- Procedure Code: The Customs Requested Procedure
You will find all the applicable customs codes in the Excel template.
- (If applicable) Previous Procedure Code: The Customs Previous Procedure
You will find all the applicable odes in the Excel template.
- Area of Import: This refers to the area where the CBAM good was imported. The two possible values are:
- EU by means of Customs import declaration (EU)
- EU by other means (EUOTH)
For decimals, you can use either dots (.) or commas (,)
IMPORTANT: Do not use (.) as thousand separator since the platform will interpret it as a decimal, leading to incorrect values when the data is uploaded!
Example:
Consignment ID | Customs Clearance Date | CN Code | Quantity | Measurement Unit | Cost (Euros) | Installation ID | Supplier ID | Procedure Code | Previous Procedure Code | Area of Import |

Errors in Uploads
The uploading tool will display an error message if a row is incorrect, highlighting it so users can easily identify where the upload is failing.
The row with the error will be highlighted
By hovering over the row, the cause of the error will be displayed

You can correct errors directly in the upload tool by editing each cell, or by updating the Excel file and reuploading it.
The system will not allow the upload if there are rows with errors.
