Midlands-based Hooper & Co International Trade Consultancy is offering a service to help UK manufacturers comply with new EU and UK carbon reporting rules.

A dedicated website (cbamsupport.co.uk) helps businesses access step-by-step guidance, key dates, deadlines and expert support around the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).

It is aimed at helping more exporters of iron, steel, aluminium and other materials avoid costly delays and compliance risks, while ensuring they stay competitive as new obligations, which are designed to reduce carbon emissions during the production of goods in the EU, take effect.

UK firms that import more than £50,000 worth of affected goods annually will fall under the UK CBAM scope from January 2027, with the first reports due in 2028.

However, implementation in the EU begins in January 2026, and failure to comply could lead to fees, customs delays, or loss of European business entirely.
