How to provide CBAM data to an EU importer?

Non-EU suppliers must provide their EU importers with emissions data formatted specifically for the CBAM Transitional Registry. Carbon Mandate provides an expert-led service that takes your raw facility data, checks the methodology via human specialists, and generates the exact XML file your importer requires to clear customs.

What is the CBAM XML format generator for iron and steel?

The EU Commission requires CBAM data in a strict XML format. Rather than relying on automation alone, which can misinterpret heavy industry metrics, Carbon Mandate prepares machine-readable XML files for Iron, Steel, Aluminium, and Cement exporters through an expert-led, human-in-the-loop pipeline.

An EU importer is requesting CBAM data, what do I do?

Send us your existing domestic certificates or raw facility data for a diagnostic scan. We will map your data to the required CN codes and prepare the exact XML deliverable your EU buyer needs.

Turkish exporters across four CBAM sectors: one XML pipeline

Carbon Mandate prepares the declaration data as machine-readable XML from verified emissions data across all four of Türkiye’s in-scope sectors. We do not file — the importer files.

Sector exposure: four goods classes

IRON & STEEL

CN 72 · 73

Turkey’s largest CBAM-exposed export class: pig iron, hot-rolled coil, rebar and finished steel under Chapters 72 and 73.

Direct emissionsIndirect emissions

ALUMINIUM

CN 76

Primary and secondary aluminium under Chapter 76. Embedded emissions turn on the smelting route and the origin-grid factor.

Origin-grid factorIndirect component

CEMENT

CN 25

Calcined clays, cement clinker, Portland and hydraulic cements under Chapter 25 (2507 · 2523). Clinker is the emission-dominant precursor.

Direct emissionsClinker basis

FERTILISERS

CN 28 · 31

Ammonia, nitric acid, urea and NPK fertilisers under Chapters 28 and 31. Precursor chemistry drives the declared figure.

N₂O emissionsPrecursor chain

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: Turkish grid intensity

Turkey’s mixed-generation grid means the origin-grid factor is the critical input for steel and aluminium declarations.

Türkiye~0.52 kg/kWh

EU avg~0.28 kg/kWh

France~0.06 kg/kWh

Illustrative: origin-country grid factor per Annex III IR (EU) 2025/2621

Across all four sectors, indirect emissions follow the carbon intensity of the electricity consumed in production. For Turkish installations that is the Turkish power mix, not a blanket EU 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.
