Brazilian exporters across four CBAM sectors: one XML pipeline
Under the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, Carbon Mandate prepares the declaration data as machine-readable XML from verified embedded-emissions data across Brazil’s in-scope sectors, led by iron & steel. We do not file — the importer files.
Reg (EU) 2023/956 Annex I · IR (EU) 2025/2620 · IR (EU) 2025/2621
Federative Republic of Brazil
4 sectors in scope
BR hydro-weighted national grid
Sector exposure: four goods classes
Brazil’s dominant CBAM-exposed export class: pig iron and semi-finished steel under Chapters 72 and 73, a large share of EU mill feedstock.
Primary and secondary aluminium under Chapter 76. A hydro-weighted smelting grid keeps the indirect-emissions component comparatively low.
Ammonia, nitric acid, urea and NPK fertilisers under Chapters 28 and 31. Precursor chemistry drives the declared figure.
Calcined clays, cement clinker, Portland and hydraulic cements under Chapter 25 (2507 · 2523). Clinker is the emission-dominant precursor.
CN scope per Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2023/956. One declaration pipeline covers all four classes: each goods line carries its own emissions basis, compiled into machine-readable CBAM XML and checked against the declaration structure the Commission has specified. The Commission has not yet published a definitive annual-declaration XSD. We produce an XML declaration with the full precursor chain intact, not a PDF report or a spreadsheet template.
Indirect emissions: Brazilian grid intensity
Brazil’s hydro-weighted grid keeps the indirect component comparatively low. The verified figure is likely to beat the default.
Across all four sectors, indirect emissions follow the carbon intensity of the electricity consumed in production. For Brazilian installations that is a hydro-weighted national grid, not a blanket EU default. A low-carbon grid keeps the indirect component of aluminium and steel declarations comparatively small, which can favour the verified figure over a conservative default. The XML captures the origin-grid figure for the electricity actually drawn, so the declared embedded emissions reflect where the goods were made.
Where an installation cannot evidence an actual electricity emission factor, the declaration falls back to the origin-country grid factor under Annex III to Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2621, a per-country value, never a single product default.
