EACC Advantages

EACC acts as a technical and methodological third party, securing the importer’s CBAM declaration vis-à-vis European authorities.

Our clients choose us for:

1. Genuine mastery of CBAM calculations — not just declaration filing

Most market players focus solely on completing CBAM forms.
EACC stands out through full control of the entire emissions calculation chain, based on:

• analysis of actual industrial processes;

• collection, exploitation and storage of supplier activity data through our EACC ASIA Analysis Office / Data Center;

• rigorous application of official regulatory methodologies, embedded and continuously updated within our internal calculation software.

Result: emissions calculated as accurately as possible, not overestimated by default.

2. Direct reduction of future CBAM costs

With many competitors, compliance is achieved at the cost of avoidable additional expenses.

Thanks to an approach based on real data rather than default values, EACC enables:

• limitation of emission over-declaration;

• reduction in the number of CBAM certificates to be purchased;

• long-term protection of your margins.

3. Truly defensible compliance in case of audit

EACC delivers not just a declaration, but complete and structured documentation, allowing:

• explanation of every calculation assumption;

• traceability of data sources;

• effective response to any request for justification from the competent authority.

EACC remains involved during audits, even after the declaration has been submitted.

4. Ability to work with non-EU suppliers

One of CBAM’s major weaknesses lies in relationships with foreign suppliers. This is where EACC’s strength is clearly demonstrated.

EACC benefits from an international, multilingual organization, enabling us to:

• interact efficiently with suppliers outside the European Union;

• structure data collection in poorly prepared environments;

• transform raw data into CBAM-compliant, usable information.

5. A structured and repeatable approach over time

EACC implements a sustainable CBAM architecture, supported by continuous regulatory monitoring, allowing:

• consistent declarations aligned with regulatory updates;

• progressive onboarding of new suppliers through EACC ASIA;

• anticipation of regulatory changes (calculation methods, benchmark values, newly impacted CN codes).

6. Independence and absence of conflicts of interest

EACC is neither a carbon broker, nor a certificate seller, nor an industrial operator.

This guarantees:

• total objectivity in calculations;

• no incentive to artificially overestimate or underestimate emissions;

• a strictly regulatory and defensible approach;

• full discretion.

7. A responsible and clearly identifiable counterpart

At EACC, accountability is clear:

• an identifiable consulting firm;

• documented methodologies produced by a trained and committed team;

• responsibility assumed for the consistency and reliability of the delivered work.

You do not delegate your CBAM obligations to an anonymous platform or an interchangeable service provider.

Key Questions

What are the obligations for companies?
Companies must declare quarterly the carbon emissions associated with imported products and, in the long term, purchase CBAM certificates corresponding to those emissions.

When does CBAM become financially binding?
The transitional phase began in 2023 with a reporting obligation. The actual payment of CBAM certificates will start in 2027.

What are the risks in case of non-compliance?
An inaccurate or incomplete declaration may result in significant financial penalties, retroactive adjustments, and increased legal liability for the European importer.

Why are default values penalizing?
The default values set by the European Commission are intentionally high. They often lead to an overestimation of emissions and therefore a significant additional CBAM cost.

How does EACC support companies?
EACC collects and structures real supplier data, calculates emissions using a methodology compliant with the CBAM regulation, and secures the importer’s final declaration.

What is the advantage of a rigorous CBAM approach?
A rigorous approach makes it possible to legally reduce CBAM costs, secure regulatory compliance, and turn a regulatory constraint into an economic advantage.

The questions below reflect the most frequent concerns of importers facing CBAM.

“A secure CBAM declaration relies less on assumptions and more on verifiable data and a defensible methodology.

Thanks to EACC, your CBAM declaration is clear and fully under control.”
