CBAM 2028: will your product be covered?

From 2028 the EU plans to extend CBAM to products made from steel and aluminium. The Commission, the Council and the European Parliament each want a different list. Enter your CN code to see where it stands in each.

CN code (4 to 8 digits)

For example 7317 for nails, 8418 for refrigerators or 8708 for vehicle parts.

Enter at least 4 digits to compare.

None of these lists is law yet. The Parliament and the Council will agree the final list, planned to apply from 1 January 2028.

Product groups compared

How much of each product group the three lists include. "All of 7312" means every product under that 4-digit heading; otherwise the number of separate lines in the list.

Where it stands

The Commission proposed the extension on 17 December 2025, for goods that are mostly steel or aluminium by weight. The Council agreed its position on 12 June 2026 and added boilers, turbines, engines, electric motors and many machinery parts. The Parliament voted its position on 15 September 2026: it adds every product in chapter 73 (articles of iron or steel) and whole headings such as pumps, refrigerators, valves, bearings and trucks.

The Parliament and the Council now negotiate the final text. A product on all three lists is very likely to be covered from 2028; a product on only one list may or may not be.

What to do now

Find the 8-digit CN code of each product you sell to the EU, and check it above.
If it is on any list, map the steel and aluminium you buy for it, and who supplies it. Once the product is covered, your EU buyer will need its embedded emissions, and those come largely from that metal.
Check again after the negotiations: this page will be updated when the final list is agreed.

The three lists

Lines in each institution's list, from the official texts. One line can be a whole heading or a single 8-digit code, so these counts differ from the product counts quoted in the press.

Position	Date	Lines	Document
Commission proposal	17 December 2025	114	COM(2025) 989, Annex I
Council	12 June 2026	311	Council general approach, ST 10423/26, Annex I with notes 1 and 2
European Parliament	15 September 2026	409	European Parliament position, P10_TA(2026)0276, amendments to Annex I (added to the Commission list)
