What is at stake

EU defaults are costing Indian exporters crores.

Your buyer does not need a long explanation. They need one trusted number that proves your shipment is cheaper than the EU default.

The CBAM problem in 3 steps

Shipment leaves India

Goods move, but the CBAM number follows the invoice.

EU default gets applied

If factory data is not verified, your buyer prices you as high-carbon.

Buyer compares suppliers

The lower, trusted CBAM number becomes a commercial advantage.

Default values include mark-ups for 2026, 2027, then 2028 onward. The exact value depends on CN code.

The commercial case

Know the CBAM number before your buyer does.

We show the buyer-side cost with EU defaults and the defensible cost with your factory actuals, in language your sales team can use.

The trust gap CBAM created

Your buyer will not trust your number. We make sure they do.

CarbonSettle turns plant data into a buyer-ready CBAM report your EU customer can understand, check and accept.

Importer does not trust your number

Even with a lower CBAM report, they can still fall back to the inflated default.

Official audit comes later

CBAM verification happens after filing. Too late to help this year's buyer conversation.

Paperwork without payoff

Supplier data and calculations only matter if your buyer can trust the result.

The CarbonSettle fix

A verified CBAM report your EU buyer can act on.

  • Your CBAM number is checked before it goes to the buyer.
  • The report is structured for the EU importer, declarant and procurement team.
  • Your sales team gets a buyer-ready comparison: default cost vs verified actuals.
