A CBAM-only managed service or a multi-standard audit body that also does CBAM. Same regulation, very different operating models. Here's the calm comparison.
A named CBAM expert. India's best CBAM engine. Pre-verified output.
Indian exporters who want CBAM handled like a service, not an audit.
A certification house covering ISO 9001, ISO 14001, BIS — and CBAM.
Companies looking to add another certificate to a multi-standard portfolio.
Multi-standard audit bodies are excellent at certifying you against a fixed checklist. CBAM is different — it's a tax mechanism. Every shipment changes. Every CN code matters. Every default value chosen costs your buyer money. Specialists run that workflow; generalists audit it once a year.
“CBAM is a recurring, declarant-facing workflow — not a one-shot certificate. The right provider is built for that cadence.”
CarbonSettle is built for the cadence: same expert, every shipment, pre-verified by a top-3 EU auditor — up to 40% lower CBAM tax on every consignment.

One person owns your file end-to-end — every shipment, every CN code, every reply to your buyer's declarant. Audit bodies assign auditors per engagement; we assign an owner per account.
CBAM-purpose-built AI. Chat, ERP, voice notes, photos of bills — same platform, three modes. 24×7 batch tracking ranks every lever in ₹/tCO₂, beyond CBAM into pricing intelligence.
A top-3 EU auditor pre-verifies every report before delivery. Your buyer's declarant uses your actuals on day one. The documented India HRC scenario saves about Rs 96 L per 1,000 t.
Each written for an Indian exporter, not a Brussels sustainability team.
