What is CN 7208 at the heading level?

CN 7208 covers all flat-rolled products of iron / non-alloy steel, ≥600mm wide, hot-rolled, not clad. The 8-digit sub-codes (72081000, 72082500, 72083600, etc.) refine by thickness, pickling status, and coil/sheet form.

Should I declare at the 4-digit or 8-digit level?

Customs declarations require the full 8-digit code. The 4-digit page is for SEO and cross-reference -- always use the 8-digit code in your CBAM declaration to match the country defaults.

Do scrap-based mills change my CBAM bill for CN 7208?

Not at the 7208 heading -- the EU default applies. But verified data from a 100% EAF-scrap mill can drop your effective emissions to ~0.4 t CO2/t direct, an 80% reduction vs. the default.

Are CN 7208 imports from Türkiye covered by any free-trade preference?

The EU-Türkiye Customs Union covers CN 7208 for tariff purposes, but CBAM is independent of free-trade agreements -- Turkish steel imports owe full CBAM regardless of preferential origin.

Methodology guide -- CN 7208 (flat-rolled hot-rolled steel, ≥600mm wide)

CN 7208 is the largest single CBAM steel heading by volume. Most importers will declare under the 8-digit sub-codes (72081000, 72082500, 72083600, etc.); this page exists as the parent reference.

Step 1 -- always declare at the 8-digit level. The country-default emissions table in Reg. 2025/2621 is keyed on 8-digit codes. Declaring at 7208 (4-digit) gives you the sector default (1.88 t/t direct), which is usually less favourable than the country-specific 8-digit number.

Step 2 -- understand what is NOT in 7208. Cold-rolled product is in 7209. Coated product (galvanised, painted) is in 7210. Narrow strip (<600mm) is in 7211/7212. Stainless flat is in 7219/7220. CBAM applies to all of these but the production-route mix and emissions intensity differ.

Step 3 -- request supplier verified data. Like CN 72081000, this heading is BF-BOF dominated globally. Verified data from an EAF source can save 70% of your CBAM bill -- ask first whether the mill is BF-BOF, BOF-EAF or pure EAF / DRI-EAF.

Step 4 -- model multi-year exposure. Steel prices and CBAM phase-in interact: a 100,000-tonne annual import bill at €0.85/tonne CBAM cost in 2026 grows to €8.50/tonne by 2034 (from 10% to 100% phase-in) before factoring in ETS price drift. Lock in low-carbon supply now or budget for the bill.

Step 5 -- comply with quarterly tracking from 2026. Reg. 2025/2083 requires importers to hold 50% of projected CBAM certificates by end of each quarter, surrendering the remainder by 31 May of the following year. AutoCBAM Pro automates this; the free calculator provides the projection.
