How can I fill out the CBAM assessment?

When opening the CBAM assessment, you can see a short description of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) regulation on top. 

After that, you can see your quarterly CBAM requests per customer displayed in the table:

• Use the search bar if you would like to directly search for specific customer requests. 
• Customer: You can directly see which customer of yours has requested the CBAM data. The data is only shared with this specific customer. 
• Requested CN Codes: That shows you how many CN codes are included in the request.
• Quarter: You can see for which quarter your customer is requesting data. 
• Request Date: This indicates on which day your customer has sent you the CBAM request. 
• Due Date: This is the date until you should have finalized the request. It is very important for your customer to stick to this deadline. Please contact your customer if you are not able to meet this deadline. 
• Status: You can directly see which requests are still to do, in progress, completed or overdue. These status updates are set automatically from IntegrityNext based on your data uploads. You cannot set the status individually. 

Please click on „View“ in the column „Assessment Completion“ to open a specific CBAM request. 

You will then see another table with all the requested CN codes where you need to provide emission data. 

There are three ways to submit this information:

1. Step-by-step Assessment:

   If you prefer to enter your data directly on the platform, you can use the step-by-step option. In the „Requested CN Codes“ table, select the CN code and click „Start“ (or „Edit“ if you already began). 

   A guided flow will open and will take you through each field in the correct order. Follow the numbered steps, save your progress, and submit once you are done.

2. Bulk upload with IntegrityNext Upload Template:

   If you want to submit data for many CN codes at once, the bulk upload option is the fastest way. Click on the blue button „Upload Bulk Assessment“. 

   Then download the Excel template, open the file, and complete the missing product and emission data according to the instructions. The template already contains pre-filled information from your customer. Save the file and upload it back into the platform. This will be also explained in detail in the next steps.

3. Upload with official EU template:

   If you are already working with the official EU template, you can upload it directly. Simply drag and drop the file into the upload field or click „Select file“. Make sure that the file includes all the required information for each CN code so it can be processed correctly.

All data you provide is also stored in our database. That means you only need to provide the data for a specific CN code once and you can use it for other requests as well. When you receive a new request from your customer, your previously submitted CN Code-level data will automatically appear in the new step-by-step assessment flow and in the IntegrityNext Upload Template. Of course, you can also edit and delete this pre-filled data if you like. That reduces your manual effort and improves the accuracy by reusing validated, historical data.
