How should declarant fill in the data in the CBAM Transitional Registry?
The quarterly reports need to be filled in per importer, per CN code and per installation. There are two ways to fill in the data in the CBAM Transitional Registry:
- Reporting declarants can manually fill in the data directly within the interface in the CBAM Transitional Registry.
- Alternatively, reporting declarants can use an XML structure to upload CBAM quarterly reports. Once an XML file is uploaded successfully, a new draft quarterly report will be created and can be submitted via the CBAM Registry user interface. A supporting XLS file, which can be used to fill in the quarterly report using XML, was published on the Commission’s CBAM website.
There are mandatory and optional fields. In the CBAM Transitional Registry, mandatory fields are marked with an asterisk (*). Mandatory fields will also be indicated in the supporting XLS file.
Detailed information on how to fill in the report, and how to use the XSD file, can be found in the CBAM Transitional Registry user manual for Declarants.
A draft report can be saved even without all the mandatory elements provided. However, to submit the report all mandatory elements need to be provided.
