For importers

A year of customs PDFs in.
A filed declaration out.

You hold a year of customs declaration PDFs and a CBAM obligation you can’t yet price. Drop them into Sustys and see the certificate cost in € and the tCO₂e behind it — then prove what you can to bring both down.

The importer’s reality

The obligation is yours. The data is a mess.

CBAM makes the importer of record responsible for the embedded emissions of every steel, aluminium, cement, fertiliser, hydrogen and electricity line you bring in. But that data arrives as customs PDFs — and where you can’t prove an actual, the EU default fills the blank with the dirtiest-production assumption.

A year of PDFs

hundreds of customs declarations, today re-keyed by hand into a spreadsheet

+22%

the EU default’s typical markup over a proven actual — paid in certificates

Minutes

from a dropped PDF to a € and tCO₂e you can see — not a quarter of spreadsheet work

What it’s like

Drop. Review. File.

No re-keying, no schema wrangling, no guessing what the default cost you. Three moves from the PDF on your desk to the declaration in the registry.

  1. 01

    DROP

    Upload the national customs declaration PDFs you already file. Sustys reads them — commodity code, net mass, origin, procedure — no re-keying.

  2. 02

    REVIEW

    Every line lands on a forensic ledger with a Ready, Check or Fail verdict. You approve what’s right and fix what isn’t, with the source one click away.

  3. 03

    FILE

    See the certificate cost in € and the tCO₂e behind it, prove a supplier’s actual to lower both, then export the XSD-valid v23 XML you submit.

The number that decides the bill

The default assumes the worst. Proving the actual pays you back.

Every line carries an embedded-carbon figure, and that figure sets the certificate cost. Buy from a cleaner producer and prove their actual emissions, and the bill and the recorded carbon both fall — so the supplier you chose for being cleaner finally counts in your favour.
