The India-EU FTA headlines are glowing: tariffs on chemicals and industrial goods are dropping to zero. But for steel and aluminium exporters, the reality is more complex. While the front door is open, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) has installed a “Carbon Toll”.
The “Default Value” Trap If you cannot provide verified, ton-by-ton carbon emissions data, the EU won’t take your word for it. They will apply a punitive “default value” tax. The result? Your “zero-tariff” steel becomes more expensive than it was before the deal even existed.
