Is HS 8418 covered by CBAM?

Combined refrigerator-freezers

Proposed for 2028

Not yet. 2 CN codes under heading 8418 are in the Commission's proposal to extend CBAM from 1 January 2028.

Not covered today, but the European Commission has proposed adding it from 1 January 2028. This is a proposal: the European Parliament and the Council can still change it.

What to do now

Nothing is payable yet. But buyers plan contracts a year ahead, so start keeping fuel and electricity records now, and ask your steel or aluminium suppliers for their emissions data.
