How it works

From source data to filed and tracked

The same agentic workflow that runs your customs declarations runs this sub-solution, connected to your data, your authorisations and your existing systems.

Step 1

Identify CBAM goods at clearance

Each import declaration is scanned for CBAM-relevant goods. Quantities, CN codes, country of origin and operator data are captured automatically.

Step 2

Collect supplier emissions data

Where embedded emissions aren't on file, the agent drafts a request to the right contact at the supplier, follows up and parses the response.

Step 3

Compile, validate, submit

Quarterly XML is validated against the latest CBAM schema. Default-value fallbacks, evidence and supplier data are kept side-by-side for audit.

Capabilities

What the AI does for you

Each capability runs as part of the same agent, with no separate tools and no additional integrations.

CBAM goods identification

Detects CBAM-relevant CN codes (iron, steel, aluminium, fertilisers, cement, hydrogen, electricity) at filing time.

Supplier emissions requests

Auto-drafts emissions data requests in the supplier's language, tracks responses, escalates non-responders.

Embedded emissions calc

Computes direct + indirect embedded emissions per tonne, with default values where supplier data is missing.

Carbon price already paid

Captures CBAM-deductible carbon prices already paid in the country of origin, with evidence.

Quarterly XML report

Generates the XML expected by the EU CBAM Registry, ready to upload or submit via API.

Definitive period (2026+)

Ready for the definitive period: certificate purchases, surrender obligations and verification by accredited verifiers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, during the transitional period and where supplier data is missing the EU's published default values are applied. The fallback is logged so you can prove due diligence.

Only if you ask us to. The default is to draft requests for your team to review and send. Some clients prefer fully automated supplier nudges; that's a setting.

Digicust is built for the definitive period: certificate purchases, annual surrender, accredited verifier sign-off and the move from quarterly reports to the annual CBAM declaration.

It's the same import data, used twice. Because Digicust files your declarations and prepares CBAM reports, there's no double-keying and no reconciliation gap.
