The EU's official CBAM default values as machine-readable JSON and CSV: direct, indirect and total embedded emissions (t CO2e per tonne of good) for every CN code and every country listed in Annex I, plus "Other countries and territories" and Annex IV (precursors of unknown origin). 11,170 rows, 121 countries. Also the Column A and B benchmarks with the CBAM factor for each year.
Files:
default-values.json: every table, keyed by country, with each CN code's description, sector, direct, indirect and total value and production route, plus the mark-ups per year.default-values.csv: the same default values as one CSV (table, cn, description, sector, direct, indirect, total, route).benchmarks.json: Column A and B benchmarks per CN code and production route, with the CBAM factor for each year.
Look up a value with the mark-up already applied, per country or per CN code: CBAM default values on the CBAM Exporter Pack (for example India, China, Türkiye). The same files are served for ERP systems at cbam.vedacta.com/cbam-data-feed, which is updated first.
Value for a good = total default value (direct where there is no total) × (1 + mark-up): 10% in 2026, 20% in 2027, 30% from 2028, 1% for fertilisers. A country that is not listed, or a good without a value for its country, uses "Other countries and territories". Annex IV applies only to precursors whose country of production is unknown.
Free allocation deducted per tonne = CBAM factor × Column B benchmark of the default value's route. To see what this costs per shipment, use the free CBAM cost calculator.
