Does the evidence chain survive the trader layer?

A commercial seller, an exporter, a producer and an installation operator may be different entities. WEETRA examines whether the documentary chain keeps those roles connected instead of treating them as interchangeable.

The continuity problem

Trader → supplier → producer → installation → goods → emissions data → evidence.

A commercial document establishes the sale; WEETRA then tests the separate evidence connecting seller, producer, production installation, goods and emissions data.

Typical issue

The invoice identifies the seller and the emissions workbook identifies a plant; the required goods-to-installation bridge remains an explicit remediation point.

What the screen can surface

The intermediary layer is an evidentiary relationship that must remain traceable.

Identity separation

Seller, exporter, producer and installation operator are recorded as distinct roles where the evidence shows they are distinct.

Goods attribution

Product, lot, batch and commercial references are examined for continuity with production and emissions records.

Upstream evidence

Supplier declarations are checked against the upstream records available rather than treated as self-proving.

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.
