Intel around the CBAM process suggests a major regulatory shake-up is coming, with 30+ new categories of productd on the way. The first wave is described here below.

Our partner Carbmee srited that four draft documents reviewed in Brussels point to a broad expansion of CBAM – moving far beyond basic materials into finished and semi-finished steel and aluminium products.

𝑰𝒇 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒎𝒆𝒅, 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒑𝒖𝒍𝒍 ~180 𝒏𝒆𝒘 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒕𝒔 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒄𝒐𝒑𝒆, 𝒊𝒏𝒄𝒍𝒖𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈:

➡️ Steel & aluminium downstream goods: pipes, fittings, screws, containers, tools, wire, and cast-iron items
➡️ Combined metal products: furniture fittings, grills, nails, and caps
Machinery & industrial equipment: engines, pumps, compressors, cranes, and industrial robots

The leaked texts also outline tighter rules, covering electricity imports, scrap, and circumvention measures, and could bring 7,500 new importers into CBAM’s reach.

This marks a clear shift: CBAM is becoming a full value-chain carbon instrument, not just a border measure.

Manufacturers should act now to understand their exposure and integrate carbon cost forecasting, supplier-level transparency, and automated compliance into procurement and finance workflows.
