Do you import goods made from cement, fertilizer, cast iron, steel, electricity, aluminum, or hydrogen? Then you are a CBAM importer. From January 1, 2026, Ritra Cargo, as your Direct Representative, will be required to include your CBAM registration number on import declarations. However, even if you expect to import less than 50 tons, we need your confirmation of this. Have you already notified us?

– Cement, fertilizer, (cast) iron and steel, electricity, aluminum, and hydrogen

For a complete overview of goods and additional information, please refer to the Customs website or this animation on LinkedIn.

Important for a correct import declaration

Did you import CBAM goods through us in 2025? If so, we have probably already asked you for your CBAM registration number. Was your last shipment of CBAM goods before 2025, but do you expect to import them again next year? If so, we also request that you inform us of this.

Even if you expect to import less than 50 tons of CBAM goods, we need your confirmation of this. Customs has announced that it will block shipments if the limit of 50 tons per calendar year is exceeded.
