If the Q3 2026 price (€82.32) stayed the same in 2028 — a scenario, not a forecast · SEFA (IR (EU) 2025/2620) not included — a worked example, not an amount payable

This is a worked example — not an upper bound and not an amount payable. The difference is only between the applied default value and the value you entered. The free-allocation adjustment (SEFA) is calculated separately by declaration type — Equations 2–5 for an actual-values declaration, Equation 6 for a default-values declaration (IR (EU) 2025/2620 Annex, pp.6–8) — and is not in this calculation. The exact figure comes out of a plant assessment, with your precursors and production route taken into account.

Choose the import quarter to see €/t. The 2026 price follows the quarter in which the goods are imported, not the production month (Reg. (EU) 2025/2083 Art. 1(17), amended Art. 21(1a), p.16).

The free-allocation adjustment is not calculated the same way for the two declaration types (IR (EU) 2025/2620 Annex, points 3 and 4, pp.6–8); the actual-values side also recurses over precursors. The cross-sectoral correction factor has been published as 100% for 2026–2030 (ID (EU) 2026/1862 Art. 1, p.3). Because the SEFA terms are not in this calculation, no amount payable is computed for any good. The default-value increase grows by year: 10% in 2026, 30% in 2028, each year with its own rate (IR (EU) 2025/2621 Annex I, as replaced by IR (EU) 2026/1740, opening paragraph, p.4). Marked-up values are not published in Annex I; IR (EU) 2026/1740 removed those columns.

Short answers.

  • How high is the default value?

    The Commission sets default values on the conservative side. You close the gap with real data.

  • Is Türkiye's carbon price deducted?

    A documented price actually paid is deductible only when declaring with real data. Free allocation is not a payment.

  • Are small shipments exempt?

    The exemption applies if an importer's annual net mass stays within 50 tonnes. Electricity and hydrogen imports are not exempt.

  • Who chooses the verifier?

    Under the Turkish ETS you do not choose: the central MEDAS system assigns the verification body (Turkish ETS Regulation Art. 30(2)), except for installations subject to the Public Procurement Law. Under CBAM, verifying a declaration based on actual emissions is the declarant's obligation (CBAM Regulation Art. 8(1)); if you have opted to register in the CBAM registry (Art. 10(1)), as a registered operator you have your embedded emissions verified by an accredited verifier (Art. 10(5)(b)).

  • How long must you keep records?

    Under the Turkish ETS you keep all relevant data and records for at least 10 years. Under CBAM, as a registered operator you keep the verification report and calculation records for 4 years after verification.

  • Where is the EEMS server?

    EU server (Helsinki, Finland); the panel opens in your browser.

  • Do your systems need to change?

    Nothing is written to your systems; one read-only program that connects only outbound over HTTPS is installed at the plant. Your IT team provides a read-only database user for the ERP.

  • Does AI produce numbers?

    No, the engine calculates every number. Any sentence of AI-written text that contains a number is dropped before display.

  • What happens to your data if you leave EEMS?

    Your data is yours: you download your plant package with one click. It is a ZIP with JSON data, evidence files, reports and a hashed manifest.

  • What is the İMP deadline for pilot installations?

    Pilot-period installations submit their first monitoring methodology plan (İMP) by 27 January 2027. The Climate Change Presidency extended the deadline by its notice of 14.10.2026 (Approval 18814, Provisional Art. 3(1)).
