CBAM Transitional Registry

The European Commission has created an information system called CBAM Transitional Registry that became fully operational on the 4th of January 2024.

This system serves reporting importers and indirect customs representatives to fulfill their reporting obligations in the transitional period, which mainly include the submission of quarterly reports containing information on the import of CBAM goods from third countries and embedded direct and indirect emissions.

The National Competent Authority (NCA) for CBAM in Slovakia is the Ministry of the Environment of the Slovak Republic (MoEnv SR). MoEnv SR cooperates with the Financial Directorate of the Slovak Republic, which informs importers and indirect customs representatives at regular intervals about their CBAM obligations arising from the legislation of the EU and sends data on the import of CBAM goods to the European Commission.

MoEnv SR grants permission for access into the CBAM Transitional Registry to importers and indirect customs representatives based in the Slovak Republic on the basis of a request form filled out by importers or indirect customs representatives and sent electronically. The registration is performed continuously. For administration of the process of verifying identity and access rights of importers and indirect customs representatives serves the Uniform User Management & Digital Signature (UUM&DS) system.
