Specification & Structural Breakdown
Technical Summary: Validates strictly against Regulation (EU) 2023/956 & 2023/1773. Payloads are parsed in memory and return clean, typed JSON in milliseconds with zero data logged.
Iron and steel imports into the European Union account for the largest volume of CBAM declarations. Covering pig iron (CN 7201), crude steel (CN 7206), semi-finished billets (CN 7207), hot-rolled coils (CN 7208), cold-rolled sheets (CN 7209), wire rod (CN 7213), seamless pipes (CN 7304), and fasteners (CN 7318).
Many steel products are categorized as complex goods under Annex II. For example, steel screws (CN 7318 15 10) require factoring in the embedded carbon from upstream wire rod (CN 7213 10 00) or crude steel billets. The API automatically resolves precursor emissions.
| CN Code | Product Description | Sector | Default Direct Factor (tCO2e/t) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 72081000 | Flat-rolled coils, hot-rolled | iron_and_steel | 2.10 |
| 72131000 | Wire rod, hot-rolled in coils | iron_and_steel | 2.05 |
| 73181510 | Screws and bolts of iron/steel | iron_and_steel | 2.60 |

Request body:
{
"cnCode": "72081000",
"countryOfOrigin": "CN",
"massKg": 50000
}
Rules:
- Send the request with a 2-second timeout.
- Parse the standard envelope { success, data, meta: { latency_ms, version } }.
- On failure, read { success: false, error, code } and branch on the code.
- Do not retry 4xx responses; surface the error code to the caller.
- Treat invalid-but-well-formed payloads as HTTP 200 with data.valid === false.Frequently Asked Questions & Technical Notes
