Data requirements
Data required from the declarant.
The data required from the reporting declarant for their CBAM reports is outlined below.
About your company
A CBAM report requires some basic information about your company. This data is outlined below:
- Company name
- Company address
- EORI Code
- This is a company identifier that is used in the European Union and which is shown in your customs declarations. The first two characters of this code indicate the country in which your company is registered.
Customs Declarations
Customs declarations are the basis and starting point of a CBAM report as they determine which specific goods need to be included in the CBAM report.
This data exists in a variety of different formats, all of which are compatible with the CBAMBOO platform.
Single Administrative Document (SAD)
One of the most common and most standard is the Single Administrative Documents format. This is the actual document that is submitted by your customs agent/broker to the customs authorities and is usually in a PDF format that you will receive with each shipment.
This is a standardised document, which varies slightly from country to country, but that is guaranteed to have the relevant data for the CBAM reports. It contains a set of numbered fields, with each one identifying a data points. They look like the example shown below:
Custom customs broker document
Some customs broker share the customs declarations data in a format that they have either created themselves, or that is generated by a software that they use. These documents might look similar to the SAD document and should include the same information.
Excel reports
Other customs brokers will also be able to provide digital files with the data on your imports. This is the most useful type of file for CBAMBOO, as it is easier to load into the platform.
Procurement data
In order to calculate the embedded emissions that your company has imported over a period of time, we need to be able to match each one of your imports to the manufacturer of the goods.
This is data that is not always found in your customs declarations, but it’s likely to be available in your procurement records. It is important to match this data to your customs declarations to identify who the manufacturer is.
Uploading your data to the platform
You can upload any new data to the CBAMBOO platform via the Data Sources section of the app. There’s more information on the My Imports section of the documentation.
