Eliminate CBAM risk with the CBAMBOO PACC™
3 Mar 2026
CBAMBOO today introduces the Pass-through Agreement for CBAM Costs (PACC™), a standardised contract that allows importers to reliably pass on their CBAM costs to their customers.
Starting 1 January 2026, the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism requires payment of a carbon price on a per-tonne basis for imports of steel, aluminium and other commodities. Frequently, the payer of CBAM charges is a trader who sells the imports on to an end-customer inside the EU. These traders need legal certainty that their end-customers will compensate them for the CBAM charges.
The PACC™ is a standardised contract template that:
- Defines clear cost allocation between importer and buyer
- Adjusts automatically as CBAM certificate prices change
- Covers all CBAM-regulated commodity categories
- Is drafted to comply with EU competition law
"Importers have been telling us that passing on CBAM costs is their number one concern," said the CBAMBOO team. "The PACC™ gives them a legally robust, ready-to-use agreement that removes uncertainty from the equation."
The PACC™ is available now to all CBAMBOO platform users at no additional cost.
