Can the evidence supporting your CBAM position actually be reconstructed?

A CBAM file connects imported goods to the documentary sources supporting quantity, origin, supplier, producer, installation, emissions and other relevant claims.

What the importer pathway examines

A CBAM position is a chain of documentary relationships.

Depending on the file, WEETRA can examine imported goods, CN classification context, origin, quantities, customs and commercial correspondence, supplier identity, producer identity, installation, actual or default emissions, reporting periods, supplier evidence, verification relationships, carbon-price evidence where relevant, precursor dependencies and documentary versions.

Quantity example

Customs records: 1,024.8 tonnes.
Supplier production allocation: 1,038.2 tonnes.
The gap is recorded and investigated instead of being silently normalised.

Typical questions

What must hold together?

Goods & quantities

Do customs, commercial and supplier records describe the same population and period?

Producer & installation

Does the evidence establish which production installation the relied-upon emissions information actually relates to?

Emissions & sources

Can the emissions value, calculation basis and supporting records be traced and reproduced to the extent the supplied data allow?

What happens next

Fix the file yourself, stop, or move to the right review depth.

The Evidence Check can identify issues for the importer or supplier to correct. If deeper review is justified, the file can move to Level I, II or III according to complexity rather than a mandatory commercial sequence.

What you receive

A concrete CBAM Evidence Check Report.

The Evidence Check produces a shareable PDF that records the reviewed scope, the evidence population, identified documentary relationships, findings and the actions that require attention.

Scope & corpus

Organisation role, reporting period, documents analysed and the main relationships identified.

Structured findings

Evidence gaps, potential contradictions, source limitations, relationship gaps, period or quantity issues and human-review triggers.

Actions & next step

A clear action for each material finding and a proportionate next step: client remediation, Level I, Level II or expert review where justified.
