to prevent &#8220;carbon leakage&#8221; by ensuring imports of carbon-intensive goods face a carbon cost equivalent to what EU-domestic producers pay under the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS)<\/strong>. <em>The transitional reporting-only phase ran 1 October 2023 to 31 December 2025<\/em>. <strong>The definitive phase &mdash; with full financial obligations &mdash; began 1 January 2026.<\/strong> Originally Regulation (EU) 2023\/956 of 10 May 2023; substantially simplified by <em>Regulation (EU) 2025\/2083 (the &#8220;CBAM Omnibus&#8221;), in force 20 October 2025<\/em>, with implementing acts published 17 December 2025. <strong>Key Omnibus change<\/strong>: a single 50-tonne mass-based exemption threshold per importer per year (replacing the previous &euro;150 per consignment value threshold) &mdash; <em>exempting approximately 90% of EU importers while still covering ~99% of embedded emissions<\/em>. <strong>Six sectors covered<\/strong>: cement, iron and steel, aluminium, fertilisers, electricity, hydrogen (with selected precursors). Hydrogen and electricity are NOT eligible for the 50-tonne exemption. <strong>First certificate-surrender deadline: 30 September 2027<\/strong> for FY2026 imports. Phase-in mirrors the EU ETS free-allocation phase-out through 2034. <em>For Thai exporters of steel, aluminium, cement, fertilisers, and hydrogen with EU buyer relationships, CBAM is now an operating commercial constraint<\/em>, not a future regulatory project.

Originally established by Regulation (EU) 2023\/956 of 10 May 2023, substantially simplified by Regulation (EU) 2025\/2083 (the CBAM Omnibus) in force 20 October 2025, with implementing acts published 17 December 2025. The transitional reporting-only phase ran 1 October 2023 to 31 December 2025; the definitive phase began 1 January 2026 with full financial obligations. First CBAM certificate surrender deadline is 30 September 2027 for FY2026 imports. Six sectors covered at definitive-phase launch: cement, iron and steel, aluminium, fertilisers, electricity, hydrogen, with selected precursors (cement clinker, nitric acid, ferrosilicon, unwrought aluminium). The CBAM Omnibus introduced a 50-tonne mass-based exemption threshold per importer per year, replacing the previous EUR 150 per consignment value threshold - exempting approximately 90% of EU importers while still covering ~99% of embedded emissions. Hydrogen and electricity imports are NOT eligible for the 50-tonne exemption. CBAM certificate prices track the EU ETS allowance average; certificate purchase obligations phase in through 2034 mirroring EU ETS free-allocation phase-out. Embedded emissions calculated either as actual values (production-site specific, requires accredited verification by ISO\/IEC 17029 + ISO 14065 + EU CBAM-specific accredited verifier) or default values (Commission-published, typically higher than actual). For most Thai producers in covered sectors, actual values produce lower CBAM cost than defaults - typical reduction 15-40%. CBAM permits adjustment for carbon price paid in country of origin; for Thailand this operates via TGO T-VER programme and will strengthen with the proposed Thai ETS. Honest scoping note: CBAM does not operate through individual practitioner certifications. Othello's bench provides consultative CBAM compliance preparation work anchored by Nataree Aussapim as EU Disclosure Lead, with substantive cross-Domain integration through Panit Chancharoonpong's TGO CFO + CFP Auditor, ISO 14064 Lead Auditor (CQI\/IRCA), and ISCC PLUS credentials.
