• I. How to transfer the data from the VERSO Supply Chain Hub report export in the CBAM transitional registry

The report data from the VERSO Supply Chain Hub does not represent a full CBAM report. The export makes it easier for you to view consolidated supplier data and transfer it to the CBAM transitional registry.  

I. How to transfer the data from the VERSO Supply Chain Hub report export in the CBAM transitioal registry

Structure of the spreadsheet:

The export data is to be understood per line. Each line refers to a product (CN code). A supplier can supply data for several CN codes. Supplier names can therefore be duplicated.

• VERSO Supply Chain Hub Data (column A-E): This data comes from the supplier master data in the Supply Chain Hub and is relevant for supplier identification. You can use these columns to identify which supplier has provided which information.
• General (column F-G): Information about the imported goods. In CBAM transitional registry "Goods imported".

All other data refer to the "CBAM Goods Emissions" section in the CBAM transitional registry. The column headings correspond to the fields to be completed in the CBAM transitional registry:

• Installations (columns H-U)
• Emissions (column V-AK): Here you will find the specific emission data. Divided into the 3 areas: Goods measure (produced), Direct embedded emissions, Indirect embedded emissions
• Parameters (column AL): Production Method can be added in the Parameters tab
• Carbon price (columns AM-AT)

Case 1: The supplier has provided specific emissions data

Example (line 4): Supplier In the reporting period, "Franke GmbH" delivered goods with the CN codes 25233000 and uploaded specific emissions' data. 

Case 2: The supplier answered the request but has not provided any specific emissions data. 

The requested products are shown in in the spreadsheet 3 "CBAM Goods Emissions".  

Example (line 5&6): Supplier In the reporting period, "Newton SA" delivered goods with the CN codes 25233000 and 27160000 didn't upload specific emissions' data. 

The installation data is still displayed. All data that the supplier has not provided is greyed out in the table. The type of determination for direct and indirect emissions is "Actual data not available"

Case 3: The supplier did not answer the request 

The requested products are still shown in spreadsheet 3 “CBAM Goods Emissions“. All data that the supplier has not provided is greyed out in the table. The type of determination for direct and indirect emissions is ‘Actual data not available’ 

Example (line 6) 

How do I report in the CBAM transitional registry if my supplier has not provided any specific emissions data (Case 2 + 3) 

• If you have not received any specific emissions data from your suppliers, select the option “Actual data not available” in the CBAM transitional registry under the category “Emissions → Direct or indirect embedded emissions → Type of determination” (1).
• In the “Additional information” field (2), you should then provide a brief description of your efforts to obtain the data.
• Finally, you can upload additional documents in the “Supplementary” tab (3) to document the steps you have taken to obtain data from suppliers.

You can use the data from the 2nd spreadsheet "CBAM Requests" to document your efforts to obtain the data. In this spreadsheet, you can see in detail which suppliers you have sent CBAM requests to in the reporting period. And if the suppliers have completed the request, what answers they have given.

The following columns can be helpful for documenting your efforts:

• Request_sent_on
• Numbers_reminders_sent
• Last reminder_sent_on
• Request_deadline

You can also view the suppliers' request responses here, including any reasons why no data was submitted. 

In addition, you can also export the individual requests you have sent to your supplier and their corresponding responses as a PDF document and upload them as a supporting document in the CBAM register.
