But three numbers will matter on July 6: the new price (EU ETS futures currently €82-88), whether JRC default emission factors get refreshed, and whether EU buyers begin embedding 'verified emissions data' in RFQs. Walks through a worked example (Chinese BOF mill, 50K tonnes/year HRC) — €25M cumulative 2026-2034 CBAM cash impact — and lays out a week-by-week six-week prep checklist driven from the DutyTrade CBAM Cost Estimator.
