What is the MACF?

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism is a European carbon tax applied to imports from outside the EU. Set to take effect in 2026, it applies to steel, aluminum, cement, fertilizers, electricity, and hydrogen. Its goal is to align the carbon cost of imported products with that of products manufactured in Europe.
Any company that imports listed products into the EU from countries outside the European Union. A de minimis threshold applies: for quantities below 50 metric tons per year, the importer is exempt. Above that threshold, filing a declaration and obtaining MACF certificates are mandatory.
EU default values include a surcharge ranging from +10% to +30% to encourage companies to measure their actual emissions. By reporting verified emissions, you directly reduce your bill. Decarbo'Solution® supports you with emissions measurement, regulatory compliance, and carbon cost optimization.

    Everything You Need to Know

    What is the MACF?

    The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a European carbon tax on imports of certain products from outside the EU. Set to take effect in 2026, it applies to steel, aluminum, cement, fertilizers, electricity, and hydrogen.

    Does this apply to me?
    This applies to you if you import products listed in the regulation into the EU from countries outside the EU. The de minimis threshold is 50 metric tons per year per importer; if your imports are below this threshold, you are exempt.
    How is my cost calculated?
    The MACF cost = imported metric tons × emission factor × carbon price (ETS). The EU default values include a surcharge of +10% in 2026, +20% in 2027, and +30% starting in 202, which can be avoided by reporting your actual verified emissions.
    What is an "avoidable surcharge"?
    This is the portion of your MACF invoice related to EU default values, which are intentionally marked up to encourage the reporting of actual emissions. By measuring your actual emissions with Decarbo’Solution®, you can reduce this mark-up—sometimes by tens of thousands of euros per year.
    Is this calculator official?
    This is an indicative estimate based on official EU default values. It does not constitute regulatory or tax advice. For a detailed analysis and guidance, our MACF experts will contact you within 24 hours.
    Is my data confidential?
    Yes. The information you provide is used only to generate your estimate and to contact you. It is never shared with third parties.
