Carbon border adjustments, new deforestation rules and what they mean for your declarations.
The carbon border adjustment mechanism has moved from reporting to payment for several product groups, and importers now need verified emissions data from their suppliers rather than default values.
Deforestation-free due diligence adds geolocation evidence to commodities such as timber, rubber, cocoa and cattle products. That evidence must exist before the goods arrive, not after.
Both rules push work upstream into procurement. The forwarders who help you gather the data will save you far more than the ones who simply file the entry.
