CBAM CN Code Classification
Correctly classifying your goods by CN code to determine CBAM coverage and reporting.
CBAM CN Code Classification
CBAM applies to specific goods listed by their Combined Nomenclature (CN) codes within the six covered categories. Because embedded emissions are reported per CN code, correct classification is the foundation of accurate CBAM data. Social Lab helps you classify products and confirm coverage.
Your end-to-end CBAM compliance partner
Collection and calculation of CBAM emissions data, and preparation of quarterly and annual CBAM reports in line with EU requirements.
Assessment of CBAM costs based on embedded emissions and EU carbon prices, and identification of emission reduction opportunities to minimize future carbon costs.
Preparation of documentation required for CBAM verification, and coordination and support during third-party verification and annual compliance.

CBAM CN Code Classification — questions we get
Why does the CN code matter so much?
CBAM scope and emissions reporting are both defined at the CN-code level, so the code determines your obligations.
What if I use the wrong code?
Misclassification can mean either missed obligations or unnecessary reporting; accurate codes avoid both.
How is coverage confirmed?
By checking your CN codes against the covered goods listed in the current CBAM Annex.
