By 2027, the United Kingdom (UK) will have implemented its own carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n On December 18, 2023, U.K. Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt announced in a press statement<\/a><\/strong> that a fee will be levied on carbon-intensive products such as iron, steel, aluminum, fertilizer, hydrogen, ceramics, glass and cement imported from Third countries. The CBAM\u2019s design and delivery will be subject to further consultation in 2024, including an exact list of goods in scope. However, a broader reach than its European counterpart is already emerging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The liability applied by the CBAM will be determined by the intensity of the imported good\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions and the gap between the carbon price applied in the country of origin (if any) and the carbon price that would have been applied had the good been produced in the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The CBAM\u00a0liability will fall directly on the importer of the products within scope of the UK\u00a0CBAM, based on the emissions embodied in the imported goods. This system will not require the purchase or exchange of emissions certificates, but will cooperate in conjunction with the UK Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) to ensure that imported products are priced at a carbon price comparable to that supported by British production, thus reducing the risk of carbon relocalization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.lcta.ch\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/UK_Carbon_Border_Adjustment_Mechanism.png\")
