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.

China's exports of aluminium sheet, plate & strip up 9.6% YoY in Jan-Feb; February figure down 30% MoM

EDITED BY : BEETHIKA BISWAS 2MINS READ

The trade data from the last years shows that despite U.S. tariffs on aluminium import and AD and CVD on foils and alloyed sheets, China’s exports of aluminium products grew throughout the year, with outbound flows on track to set a new record this year. U.S. trade measures have not been able to solve what the rest of the world regards as the core problem facing the aluminium sector.

China’s exports of aluminium in all forms grew by 21 per cent to 5.8 million tonnes from January to December 2018. This is the preliminary figure released by China’s customs department on the export of primary metal, aluminium alloy and semi-finished products. Out of that about 5.2 million tonnes were aluminium semi-finished products.

China’s exports of aluminium sheets, plates and strips, one of the highly traded semi-finished products from China stood at 2 million tonnes in 2018, up 11% from 1.8 million tonnes in 2017.

When we look at the latest data under an eight-digit HS code from China Customs, we see that China’s exports of aluminium sheets/plates and strips stood at 418,600 tonnes in January-February, up 9.6% from the same period last year. January export stood at 245,900 tonnes while February export dropped about 30% month on month to 172,700 tonnes. Year on year, February total is down 2.2% from the volume exported in February 2018. The February figure is the lowest since February 2017.

At this rate China’s export of aluminium sheets, plates and strips is expected to stand unchanged at about 2 million tonnes in 2019.

A number of factors will determine China’s export of aluminium sheets/plates and strips in 2019 including anti-dumping investigations, trade wars and export tax benefits by the Chinese government. While China’s semi-finished exports to the U.S. have lessened due to tariffs, the surplus metal, minimally transformed to exploit China’s export tax differentials, has been showing up in other Asian countries. Indian, South Korean and Vietnamese aluminium producers recently expressed their concern over the increasing aluminium products imports from China.
