CN code 72 in Annex I

Iron and steel

This code is inside the mechanism

Annex I lists this code in its iron and steel table, so a consignment of these goods falls inside the carbon border adjustment mechanism.

The greenhouse gases that count

The table names carbon dioxide beside this entry, and point 2 of Annex I makes the gases named in the table the greenhouse gases for the good.

The goods in this sector also appear in Annex II, so only direct emissions are taken into account under Article 7(1).

The codes this entry carves out

The entry carries an exception, so the codes below are outside the mechanism even though they sit beneath the listed code.
