The template (English)

Subject: CBAM data request for 2026 — [YOUR COMPANY NAME] Dear [SUPPLIER CONTACT], Under the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), importers like us must report the embedded emissions of the goods we buy from you. For goods imported in 2026, the first declaration is due 30 September 2027. Could you share, for each installation that makes the goods you ship us: 1. Installation name, address and country. 2. Fuels used in 2026, by type (natural gas, coal, coke, diesel) with quantity and unit — copies of the bills are fine. 3. Electricity consumed in 2026 (bills are fine). 4. Production tonnes per 8-digit CN code shipped to us. 5. Precursor inputs (crude steel, billets, unwrought aluminium) with origin and any emissions data your precursor supplier shared. 6. Monitoring plan version, if you have one. Deadline: please send by [DATE — we recommend 30 June 2027]. If you can't share this, we have to report with EU default values plus a yearly mark-up (+10% in 2026, +20% in 2027, +30% from 2028). Your real data usually comes in below that, and keeps our cost — and your prices — competitive. Easiest way to share: reply to this message, or use CBAMWorks (we invite you from the dashboard, you fill it on your phone, we read your bills, you confirm each value). It's free for you. Happy to answer any question. Regards, [YOUR NAME] [YOUR COMPANY NAME] [EMAIL · PHONE]

Replace the square-bracket placeholders. The letter is intentionally short — long requests reduce reply rates.
