European Commission Directorate-General for Taxation and Customs Union (TAXUD) is conducting a Study on a potential CBAM scope extension to downstream products.

The objective of this study is to assess the feasibility of extending the scope of the CBAM to products further down the value chain (downstream products) of the goods that are currently listed in Annex I of the CBAM Regulation (upstream CBAM basic goods).

The purpose of including downstream products is to mitigate the risk of carbon leakage of upstream CBAM basic goods as well as the downstream products.

As part of the study, they are carrying out a stakeholder survey. The aim of this survey is to gather both evidence and the views of relevant stakeholders on the major concerns, areas of consensus or points of contention as regards a CBAM scope extension to downstream products.

Particularly, input is sought on the administrative burden and costs importers of downstream products may face in complying with the CBAM if the scope were to be extended to downstream products.

The survey will be open from today until October 25th, 2024.
