Dutch Emission Authority Simplifies CBAM Reporting Requirements

The Dutch Emission Authority (NEa) updates enforcement and reporting policies for CBAM importers.

• Importers exceeding 50 tons of CBAM goods yearly must continue quarterly reporting with enforcement triggered only upon failure to report and respond to inquiries.
• Requirement to submit actual emission data is removed, allowing declaration via standard values or noting data unavailability without report incompleteness penalties.
• Changes align with the European Commission’s 2026 simplification proposal for CBAM to reduce administrative burdens.
• Information is accessible on the NEa’s oversight and enforcement webpage.
  These adjustments reduce reporting complexity for importers while maintaining regulatory oversight.
