A non-EU installation operator (for example: Chinese steel manufacturer) produces a CBAM good (for example: iron tube).
-> This good is then imported into the EU by a European importer (for example: German wholesaler of steel hardware).
-> The EU importer must then disclose specific CBAM datapoints like direct and indirect embedded emissions in a CBAM report.
-> To fulfil this reporting obligation, the EU importer needs to request these datapoints directly from the non-EU installation operator. Default values are only allowed in very few exceptions.
