To request a delayed submission of your CBAM report for Q4/2023, you can only use the ‘Request delayed submission’ function -> ‘Request by NCA’ found within the ‘My Quarterly Reports’ application in the CBAM Transitional Registry.

In this case, a reference number of the national authority, i.e. DEHSt, must be provided. Please send us an enquiry via the Transitional Registry with the subject/title ‘Reference number’. We will then get in touch with you.

If you have already submitted an enquiry on this topic without the subject ‘Reference number’, please contact us again as described. Further information can be found in the Commission's guidelines.
