The European Commission is considering so-called de minimis limits for the application of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). This is the result of a response from EU Climate Action Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra to the European Parliament. According to this, the Commission is examining possible problems with collecting the border levy for carbon-intensive imports during the current transition phase of the CBAM. This also includes de minimis rules, which mean that the CBAM does not apply to imports of very small quantities.
