CBAM, Article 5, EU

1. Any importer established in a Member State shall, prior to importing goods into the customs territory of the Union, apply for the status of authorised CBAM declarant (‘application for an authorisation’). Where such an importer appoints an indirect customs representative in accordance with Article 18 of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 and the indirect customs representative agrees to act as an authorised CBAM declarant, the indirect customs representative shall submit the application for an authorisation.

2. Where an importer is not established in a Member State, the indirect customs representative shall submit the application for an authorisation.

3. The application for an authorisation shall be submitted via the CBAM registry established in accordance with Article 14.

4. By way of derogation from paragraph 1, where transmission capacity for the import of electricity is allocated through explicit capacity allocation, the person to whom capacity has been allocated for import and who nominates that capacity for import shall, for the purposes of this Regulation, be regarded as an authorised CBAM declarant in the Member State where the person has declared the importation of electricity in the customs declaration. Imports are to be measured per border for time periods no longer than one hour and no deduction of export or transit in the same hour shall be possible.

The competent authority of the Member State in which the customs declaration has been lodged shall register the person in the CBAM registry.

5. The application for an authorisation shall include the following information about the applicant:

(a)

name, address and contact information;

(b)

EORI number;

(c)

main economic activity carried out in the Union;

(d)

certification by the tax authority in the Member State where the applicant is established that the applicant is not subject to an outstanding recovery order for national tax debts;
