FPC Guidance - UK Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism March 2026

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a climate policy tool that places a carbon price on imported, emission-intensive goods like steel, cement, and electricity. It ensures imported products face equivalent carbon costs to domestic producers.

The government will introduce CBAM on 1 January 2027 and, whilst fresh produce is not directly affected by this levy, our industry will be adversely affected in a number of ways.
