Calculate Embedded Emissions for Unwrought Aluminium (HS7601)

Enter your input

Payable emissions (tCO₂e/t)

Total CBAM Cost (€)

Notes:
There may be a difference when calculating the price with respect to import volume, carbon price, and benchmark emissions, as the embedded formula may result in minor variations due to decimal rounding. Therefore, the actual value may vary.

CBAM is applicable to trade volumes starting from 50 metric tonnes. For trade volumes below 50 metric tonnes, CBAM does not apply.

Usage Procedure – How to use the CBAM Calculator Sheet

Enter or update values only in the INPUT
PARAMETERS section (Highlighted in blue) , including
the carbon price, benchmark emissions, CBAM
chargeable percentage (as per the phase-in year),
and imported quantity.

The system will automatically calculate the payable
emissions and the total CBAM cost (€) based on the
inputs provided.

Notes:
• Change any input value to automatically update CBAM cost.
• Formula used: Carbon price × payable emissions × quantity.
• Model aligned with CBAM supplier-side illustrative methodology.

Aluminum Association calls for quota-free tariff exemptions for Canada and Mexico

EDITED BY : BEETHIKA BISWAS 2MINS READ

Aluminum Association president & CEO Heidi Brock urged the Trump administration to provide quota-free exemptions on aluminium tariffs for Canada and Mexico as negotiations are concluded on the revised North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Brock requested to “use this negotiation process to address any national security questions specific to Canada and Mexico raised in the Commerce Department’s Section 232 report” in a letter to U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) Robert Lighthizer.

She requested the trade representative to recommend a full exemption – without quotas – for aluminium imported from Canada and Mexico. Earlier, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross echoed this sentiment while he said, “Our objective is to have them revitalize NAFTA, a NAFTA that helps America. And as part of that, the 232s would logically go away, both as it relates to Canada and as to Mexico.”

The U.S. aluminium industry generates nearly $71 billion revenue and directly employs more than 162,000 workers. Aluminum industry jobs have grown 3.5% since 2013 despite global trade challenges and closure of primary aluminium smelters. The U.S. industry is in a deficit market and relies on imported aluminium to meet the exponentially growing domestic demand for the metal.

She opined that tariffs on aluminium from critical trading partners threaten growth and investment for the industry. Quotas would also have the same impact with damaging results.

The association supported a “modernized, trilateral NAFTA that includes both Canada and Mexico” as they believe the integrated North American supply chains play a significant role in meeting growing demand YoY. A modernized NAFTA, according to Brock, will strengthen and expand opportunities for the US aluminium industry and its customers.

The Association’s supported the Administration’s continued efforts to “advance free, fair and reciprocal trade across the globe.” The Association said they would continue to support quota-free Section 232 tariff exemptions for all countries designated by the Commerce Department as market economies. She emphasised on government-to-government agreement with China on overcapacity to fecilitate a healthy and vibrant aluminium sector in the US.
