How can an importer based in Switzerland, or in the EEA (Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein) access the CBAM Transitional Registry?
No CBAM reporting obligation applies to CBAM goods imported into Switzerland or the EEA. Importers based in these countries cannot gain access to the CBAM Transitional Registry.
However, CBAM goods imported into the EU Customs Union fall under the scope of the CBAM Regulation and must be reported on by a reporting declarant. If an importer of CBAM goods into the EU is based in Switzerland or in the EEA, the reporting declarant for CBAM purposes must be an indirect customs representative hired by the importer. The reporting declarant will be the one receiving access credentials to the Transitional CBAM Registry.
