What is wire rod used for, and why does CBAM cost matter?

CN 7213 is hot-rolled wire rod in coils -- used for downstream wire-drawing into nails, fasteners, mesh and welding rod. Türkiye dominates EU imports (~900kt/yr); CBAM cost adds about €0.9/tonne in 2026 (default) and €9/tonne by 2034.

Are EAF mills the norm for wire rod?

Yes. Wire rod is well-suited to EAF production because the section is small and the steel quality requirements are moderate. Most Turkish, Ukrainian, and Egyptian wire rod is EAF-route -- ask for verified data, you'll likely undercut the 1.88 t/t default.

How is allocation handled when a mill produces wire rod and rebar (CN 7214) from the same caster?

Reg. 2025/2621 Article 7 requires physical allocation by mass output. A mill producing 60% rebar and 40% wire rod from a single billet caster allocates emissions in the same 60/40 split unless heat or material flow data justifies a different ratio.

Does heat-treatment after rolling change the CBAM number?

Marginally. Stress-relieving and quenching add 0.05-0.10 t CO2/t. Already included in supplier scope 1 if the heat-treatment is on-site; check supplier scope when treatment is outsourced.

Methodology guide -- CN 7213 (hot-rolled wire rod, in coils)

Wire rod is the input to downstream wire-drawing. CN 7213 is dominated by Turkish, Ukrainian and Egyptian EAF mini-mills, which makes it an unusually clean CBAM picture: the EU 1.88 t/t default is conservative; verified EAF data typically reports 0.4-0.7 t/t direct.

Step 1 -- request EAF verification first. Most Turkish mills (Çolakoğlu, Habaş, Kroman) are EAF route. The case for using verified data over the EU default is strongest here -- your CBAM bill drops 70%+ in many shipments.

Step 2 -- understand Türkiye's carbon pricing landscape. Türkiye does not yet have national ETS coverage for steel (target 2026-2027). Until coverage is in force, no Article 9 deduction is available for Turkish-origin wire rod. Watch for legislative updates -- once coverage is announced, document the per-tonne carbon cost and submit with annual declarations.

Step 3 -- handle Egyptian and Ukrainian sources. Egyptian mills (Ezz Steel, Beshay Steel) are EAF or DRI-EAF; both are low-emission relative to BF-BOF. Ukrainian wire rod is mixed BF-BOF / EAF; case-by-case verified data is required.

Step 4 -- allocate correctly for multi-product mills. Many wire rod producers also make rebar (CN 7214) on the same site. Physical allocation by mass output is the default; if your supplier offers a different allocation method, demand justification documented per Reg. 2025/2621 Annex IV.

Step 5 -- factor downstream wire-drawing into your scope. If you import wire rod and draw it into wire (CN 7217) inside the EU, only the imported wire-rod mass owes CBAM. Wire-drawing emissions are EU-side; covered (or not) by EU ETS depending on installation size.

Step 6 -- track scrap-content claims carefully. Some EAF mills claim very low emissions based on 100% scrap inputs. Confirm the scrap-mix percentage in the verifier report; pure scrap-based output is rare in practice.
