From import data and supplier emissions to verification, declaration and certificate exposure — one system for the entire CBAM supply chain: EU importers, non-EU operators, ISO 17029 verifiers, and customs agents.
A CBAM compliance platform is software that helps EU importers manage Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism obligations by collecting supplier emissions data, calculating embedded emissions, and generating audit-ready declarations for the EU CBAM process. A complete platform covers the full chain — import tracking, calculation, verification, declaration, and certificate management — not just one step of it.
Import & product scoping
CN-code and de minimis threshold checking against Annex I coverage, per shipment.
Supplier data collection
Structured data requests to non-EU operators, with actual-vs-default SEE tracking.
Embedded emissions calculation
Specific Embedded Emissions (SEE) per EU-approved methodology, direct and indirect.
Declaration generation & export
Annual CBAM declaration, EU XML/XSD schema export, ready for the CBAM Registry.
Audit trail & document storage
SHA-256-sealed calculation records and evidence, traceable for verification.
Workflow alerts & role-based access
Deadline tracking and org-scoped access across importer, operator, verifier and agent roles.
Every CBAM platform covers the six capabilities above. Here's what CarbonAtlas covers that most don't.
UK CBAM, same dataset
Reuses your EU CBAM production data for HMRC filing — nothing re-entered twice.
ISO 17029 verifier workflow
Digital sign-off, Annex VI report generation, and a full verification queue — not just "audit-ready" storage.
Customs agent / mandate module
Multi-client mandate lifecycle for indirect representatives managing a full book of importer clients.
EUDR risk tracking
Deforestation-regulation risk assessment alongside CBAM, for products in scope of both.
Free Allocation phase-down
Gross/free/net CBAM obligation breakdown across the full 2026–2034 schedule (EU Reg 2023/956 Annex IV).
Authorised Declarant tracking
Application status, competent authority, and expiry lifecycle in one place (EU Reg 2023/956 Art. 4/17).
EU Importer
Track imports, calculate liability, file declarations, manage certificates.
Non-EU Operator
Submit installation-level SEE data to your EU customers, on request.
ISO 17029 Verifier
Review evidence bundles, digitally sign, issue Annex VI reports.
Customs Agent
Manage CBAM compliance across a full portfolio of importer clients.
An honest comparison, not a ranking where we win every category — each platform below is genuinely good at something specific. Independently verified directly against each vendor's own site, 01 September 2026.
| Platform | Best for | Note |

At minimum: scope which imports are covered, collect supplier emissions data, calculate embedded emissions using EU-approved methods, generate an audit-ready annual declaration, and manage certificate obligations. CarbonAtlas covers all of these plus verification workflow, UK CBAM, EUDR, and multi-client management for customs agents.
