CBAM, without hiring a CBAM expert.
You don't need to understand the EU's carbon border rules. Point tarify at your invoices — it tells you if you're even affected, what you'll owe, and prepares the filing for you.

THE STAKES
Your exposure isn't small —
and it grows every year.
Two numbers decide what CBAM costs you: how much you import, and how little of it still counts as free.
De-minimis threshold2026
Forecast to exceed Projected to cross around Aug 14, 2026
Past 50 tonnes, you're in scope
Import more than 50 t of CBAM goods in a year and it is all yours: the obligation, the paperwork — and the authorisation you need before you cross the line, which takes up to 180 days.

The free allowance is disappearing
The share of emissions you don't pay for falls to zero by 2034. Every year, more of each import is billable.
BY HAND vs. TARIFY
Doing CBAM by hand is a risk.
tarify makes it a non-event.
Every figure on a customs declaration drives a legal obligation — and under-reporting is penalised at 3–5×. Here's the difference.
By hand
- Customs PDFs and supplier certificates re-keyed by hand
- One kg-vs-tonne slip or a wrong CN code mis-states what you owe
- Under-reporting is penalised 3–5× — and it happens silently
- Deadlines tracked in a spreadsheet, per importer
With tarify
- Every document read automatically — each figure source-linked to the line it came from
- Unsure values are flagged for review, never silently guessed
- Certificates and cost computed to the cent, under the current EU rules
- Deadlines tracked; your declaration prepared for you to review and submit
HOW IT WORKS
From a dropped file
to a filing you just sign off.
No data entry, no CBAM expertise. Connect your sources once; tarify walks each document from inbox to declaration — you only step in at the end.

GOOD QUESTIONS
The things you're probably wondering
Does CBAM even apply to me?
If you import iron or steel, aluminium, cement, fertiliser, hydrogen or electricity into the EU, probably yes — once you go over 50 tonnes in a calendar year, counted across all of them together. tarify checks your imports and tells you plainly, in a couple of minutes.
What happens if I just ignore it?
The first thing that happens is not a fine — it is a rejected customs declaration. Past 50 tonnes you need an authorised-declarant number to clear goods at all, and that authorisation takes 120 to 180 days to obtain. Penalties for importing without it run to three to five times the carbon you should have surrendered.
Do I need an accountant or a consultant?
No — that's the whole point. tarify does the expert part behind the scenes. You add your customs documents, review the result, and have the filing ready for the day the EU registry opens in 2027.
Do I need to understand any of the carbon rules?
Not at all. You'll never see emissions math or legal jargon unless you go looking for it. You get plain answers: whether you're affected, what you'll owe, and what to file.
Is my data safe?
Yes. Your documents stay in the EU, are never shared, and are never used to train models. Every number tarify produces is checked against the actual EU legal text.
