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.

Bicycle and E-Bike market shielded from US metals tariffs

A significant policy shift in the United States has spared the cycling sector from potentially severe financial strain, following coordinated efforts across the industry. Concerns had been mounting over the possibility of a 50 per cent tariff being imposed on the steel and aluminium components used in bicycles, e-bikes, and frames. However, recent developments have brought relief.

The decision comes after a review of products listed under Section 232 steel and aluminium tariffs. Despite earlier proposals put forward by children’s bike manufacturer Guardian Bikes alongside an aluminium trade association, bicycles were ultimately excluded from the updated list. In addition, items such as e-bikes, exercise bikes, and related components have now been removed from tariffs that were only introduced a few months prior.

This outcome did not occur in isolation. The original proposal met with a storm of disapproval from the cycling community. Over 1,300 responses poured in, a flood of objections from companies, groups, and concerned individuals.

There was a direct engagement with the policymakers, including lobbying efforts, which aimed at both the US Department of Commerce and the lawmakers.

An advocacy group named PeopleForBikes was a key player in opposing the proposed measures. The industry's unified stance highlighted the economic consequences these tariffs could bring.
It wasn't just companies that would feel the pinch; employees and consumers nationwide would also be affected.

The organisation reiterated that continued collaboration would remain essential in safeguarding the sector’s future.

While this specific danger has been averted, certain tariffs persist. Duties continue to apply to items like steel chains, chain components, assorted hardware, hand tools, and bearings.

Even so, the broader decision represents a notable victory for the bicycle industry, demonstrating the effectiveness of collective action in influencing trade policy.
