(1) Regulation (EU) 2023/956 was amended by Regulation (EU) 2025/2083 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2). The effects of the amendments to Regulation (EU) 2023/956 include, among other things, the introduction of the possibility for an authorised CBAM declarant to delegate the submission of CBAM declarations to a person acting on behalf of and in the name of that authorised CBAM declarant, of rules on registration of verifiers, and of a single mass-based threshold, as well as rules on the monitoring of that threshold.

(2) It is necessary to update certain provisions of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/3210 (3) to make them consistent with the new terminology and requirements set out in Regulation (EU) 2023/956.

(3) The CBAM registry, which was established by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/3210, is interoperable with other electronic customs systems. Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/1070 (4), which sets out the technical arrangements for such electronic systems, has been repealed and replaced by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/512 (5). It is therefore necessary to update the references to Implementing Regulation (EU) 2023/1070 in Article 5 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/3210.

(4) To ensure that certification reports can be generated in the CBAM registry, and therefore to facilitate the certification process and safeguard the authenticity of certification reports, it is necessary to provide for access to and use of the CBAM registry by the independent person referred to in Article 9(2) of Regulation (EU) 2023/956. To provide sufficient time for the design of the appropriate technical solution, and to ensure consistency with the registration of verifiers, such access should be granted no earlier than on 1 December 2026.

(5) Article 3(2), Article 9(1), Article 19(2), point (c), and Article 21(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/3210 contain a mistake regarding the list of persons with access to the CBAM registry. For clarity, those errors should be corrected.

(6) It is necessary to specify the request for registration by the UUM & DS, so that the persons delegated to act on behalf of and in the name of the applicants, the authorised CBAM declarants or the persons holding a revoked authorisation, can gain access to the CBAM registry.

(7) In accordance with Article 14(6) of Regulation (EU) 2023/956, the customs authorities are to have access to the information in the CBAM registry. In order to ensure the accuracy of customs information, the customs authorities should use and have access to the CBAM registry to validate authorisations and to share additional customs data, in addition the automated exchange of information and the customs systems that are interoperable with the CBAM registry.

(8) In order to set up the infrastructure, this implementing act should also specify the process related to the exchange of information and data in the CBAM registry between the Commission and the competent authorities in accordance with Articles 15 and 27 of Regulation (EU) 2023/956. When referring to transfer of data in Article 11(3) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/3210, it should be understood as transfer and export of relevant and necessary information from the CBAM registry to enable the competent authority to perform their tasks under Regulation (EU) 2023/956.

(9) The competent authorities and the Commission process personal data registered in the CBAM registry in line with their tasks as specified in Regulation (EU) 2023/956. It is necessary to clarify the data retention period provided for in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/3210 in order to align with the amendments introduced in Regulation (EU) 2023/956.

(10) The date of application of the provisions in this Regulation relating to the functioning of the CBAM registry should be aligned with the date of application of the related provisions of Regulation (EU) 2023/956. This Regulation should apply from 1 January 2026, for the provisions related to the introduction and the monitoring of the single mass-based threshold, for the registration of the independent persons and verifiers, and for the process related to the exchange of information and data in the CBAM Registry between the Commission and the competent authorities as referred to in Articles 15 and 27 of Regulation (EU) 2023/956.

(11) Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/3210 should therefore be amended and corrected accordingly.

(12) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the CBAM Committee,
