Is HS 8708 covered by CBAM?
Gear boxes and parts
Proposed for 2028
Not yet. 4 CN codes under heading 8708 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.
Proposed from 2028
| CN code | Product |
|---|---|
| 8708 40 | Gear boxes and parts |
| 8708 70 | Road wheels and parts |
| 8708 80 | Suspension systems and shock absorbers |
| ex 8708 91 | Radiators and parts (Only if it contains steel or aluminium.) |
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.
