How this is calculated
The obligation reaches you sideways
CBAM does not place a duty on a Nigerian exporter directly. It places one on the EU importer, who must declare the emissions embedded in what they buy — and who will pass that requirement straight down to you as a condition of continuing to buy.
That is why the timetable that matters is your buyer's, not the regulation's, and why it typically arrives well before any Nigerian mandate reaches you. The data it needs is also different in kind: emissions per unit of product, not the corporate footprint an FRC or SEC disclosure reports.
Questions about this tool
Does CBAM apply to Nigerian companies directly?
No. The legal obligation sits with the EU importer, who must declare the emissions embedded in the goods they bring in. It reaches you as a condition of continuing to sell to them, which in practice makes it binding well before any Nigerian mandate does.
Which goods are covered?
The mechanism covers a defined list — cement, iron and steel, aluminium, fertilisers, electricity and hydrogen — including a range of downstream products made from them. The check asks what you export; the CBAM page sets out the list and where to read the current scope for yourself.
How is CBAM data different from our FRC disclosure?
It is measured per unit of product rather than per company, and it covers embedded emissions including the relevant precursor materials. A corporate footprint, however well prepared, does not answer a CBAM request. The two are related but not interchangeable.
When will our buyer ask?
Most Nigerian exporters in scope have already had a first request, usually as a spreadsheet from a procurement contact rather than as anything labelled CBAM. If you sell into the EU in a covered category and have not been asked, assume the question is queued rather than absent.
