On 17 December 2025 the Commission proposed extending CBAM's scope from 2028 to around 180 additional downstream products. The Commission estimates the expansion would bring roughly 7,500 new importers into scope, with China, Türkiye, the United States, the United Kingdom and Japan the most exposed trading partners.
