The €490 excl. VAT Evidence Check screens the CBAM documents you already have for missing evidence, inconsistencies, contradictions and broken documentary relationships before accredited verification develops around the file. Each finding identifies the relevant document versions, facts, provenance and status.
Regulatory content last reviewed1 October 2026
Settled eligible Evidence Check executions accumulate credit only on the same dossier and may be applied to an eligible deeper Weetra review under the applicable commercial terms. After independent changes, the customer may order a €190 excl. VAT re-check of the same dossier. New and replacement documents create a new dossier version; earlier evidence, findings, executions and reports remain unchanged.
No deeper review is recommended when the findings do not justify one. The Evidence Check can end with client-side corrections or with no further Weetra engagement.
The documents and questions differ depending on who is submitting the file.
Goods, origin, quantities, supplier, producer, installation, emissions and supporting relationships.
Importer pathway → Non-EU producerInstallation identity, production data, monitoring documentation, calculations, precursors and source records.
Producer pathway → Trader / exporter / supplierSeller, producer, installation, goods, emissions data and upstream evidence are not assumed to be interchangeable.
Supply-chain pathway → Adviser / customs professionalUse a focused first review within an adviser-led mandate without transferring the client relationship.
Adviser pathway →A useful starting file may include customs records, invoices, packing lists, supplier declarations, production records, emissions calculations, monitoring plans, installation records, precursor documentation, verification-related material, carbon-price evidence, spreadsheets and other relevant source documents.
Weetra looks for missing evidence, inconsistencies, identity or installation-attribution issues, period and quantity mismatches, monitoring-plan or source-version conflicts, supplier or precursor gaps, and calculation weaknesses visible in the documents supplied.
Monitoring Plan referenced: v3.2
Monitoring Plan supplied: v3.1.
The Evidence Check records the version gap instead of silently assuming equivalence.
Customs records: 1,024.8 tonnes.
Supplier production allocation: 1,038.2 tonnes.
The values require reconciliation before they can be treated as one coherent quantity.
The scope identified, the documents reviewed and the main relationships found in the file.
Material gaps, potential contradictions, period or quantity inconsistencies, points that cannot be confirmed and supplier documents that need clarification.
A finding record showing the issue, exact sources, relevant facts, why it matters and its status.
Weetra does not issue an “82% compliant” score, a CBAM rating or a probability of passing. The output states what was found in the supplied evidence and what still needs attention.
The Evidence Check does not force a follow-on engagement. The file can stop here, be corrected by the client, or proceed directly to the review depth the issues actually require.
Use the findings to obtain missing material or correct documentary relationships without commissioning a deeper Weetra review.
If no deeper review is required, the product does not require a follow-on engagement.
Where deeper examination is indicated, the file can move to Level I, II or III. It does not have to pass through every level in sequence.
A focused initial check of the available documents. No Determination and no full Determination Package.
Deeper documentary review, additional checking of the file, a Determination where applicable and a Determination Package depending on the review depth and mandate.
If a deeper Weetra review follows, the initial evidence can be carried forward rather than rebuilt from scratch.
Accredited CBAM verification is now moving into operation. The Commission’s verification framework makes clear that a verifier working with actual emissions may need to examine the monitoring approach, emissions calculations and supporting evidence behind the operator’s emissions report.
The Commission’s 24 August 2026 guidance provides a more detailed picture of that work. It covers verification planning, data flows and controls, source-data testing, analytical procedures, monitoring methodology, data gaps, site visits, misstatements and non-conformities, internal verification documentation and independent review. It also addresses CBAM-specific matters such as installation identification, production periods and precursor information.
This makes the upstream documentary question practical: before accredited verification develops around a dossier, can the available documents actually connect the goods and reported emissions to the correct installation, period, monitoring basis, calculations, precursor information and source records?
The Evidence Check is designed to identify visible weaknesses in that documentary basis using the material already available. It does not perform the accredited verifier’s procedures, provide assurance, predict the outcome of verification or replace evidence that the verifier may independently request.
From September 2026, accredited CBAM verifiers can register in the CBAM Registry and the first verification activities can begin, including documentary review and site visits. Finding a broken documentary relationship before that process develops around the file is materially different from discovering it during verification.
European Commission guidance is explanatory and does not replace the applicable legislation. Weetra provides independent documentary review upstream of accredited verification; it does not provide legal advice, accredited verification or assurance.
The €490 excl. VAT Evidence Check documents what is missing, inconsistent, contradictory or insufficiently established. Each finding identifies the relevant document versions, facts, provenance and status. It does not include a remediation plan, recommended corrective action or detailed correction instructions.
The initial Evidence Check screens the supplied dossier and records visible documentary gaps, inconsistencies and relationships that cannot be confirmed at this depth.
After independent changes, the customer may order a €190 excl. VAT re-check of the same dossier. New and replacement documents create a new dossier version; earlier evidence, findings, executions and reports remain unchanged.
Settled eligible Evidence Check executions accumulate credit only on the same dossier and may be applied to an eligible deeper Weetra review under the applicable commercial terms.
The customer may correct the dossier independently, request an eligible deeper review on the same dossier, leave it unchanged, or purchase a separate Evidence Check for a new dossier.
€490 excl. VAT per dossier
Evidence Check requests are currently handled through the Weetra Regulatory Desk.
Settled eligible Evidence Check executions accumulate credit only on the same dossier and may be applied to an eligible deeper Weetra review under the applicable commercial terms. After independent changes, the customer may order a €190 excl. VAT re-check of the same dossier. New and replacement documents create a new dossier version; earlier evidence, findings, executions and reports remain unchanged.
The Check is designed to make the next decision clearer. It does not certify the file, predict verification or expose Weetra’s internal review system.
| Output | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Reviewed scope | Which documents and issues were visible at Evidence Check depth. |
| Visible weaknesses | Missing document families, inconsistencies, broken relationships or questions requiring clarification. |
| Finding provenance | Relevant document versions, facts, evidence relationships, why the issue matters and finding status. |
| Depth orientation | Whether the file appears suitable for internal correction, no further work, or a Level I, II or III Review. |
If the Check does not justify deeper review, no further Weetra engagement is recommended.
