Trade Profile

Jordan is a significant phosphate and nitrogen fertiliser producer, with Arab Potash Company and Jordan Phosphate Mines Company among the principal exporters. Urea and potassium nitrate are exported to EU markets. Jordan's DB shows no grey cement or ammonia defaults — fertilisers are the dominant CBAM-relevant sector.

EU Default Values — Jordan

Net cost = default tCO₂e/t × €75.28 (Q2 2026, official price of CBAM certificates) × CBAM phase-in factor (2.5% in 2026, 48.5% in 2030). Actual liability depends on verified embedded emissions and SEFA benchmark deduction. Values shown are for illustrative default scenario only.

Article 9 — Carbon Price Deduction

No deduction

Carbon pricing in Jordan: Jordan does not operate a domestic carbon pricing mechanism applicable to CBAM-covered goods.

No qualifying carbon price applies to Jordanian production. Full CBAM certificate costs apply to verified embedded emissions above the SEFA benchmark.

Compliance Insight for Jordan Exporters

For fertiliser exporters, the CBAM functional unit calculation includes an N-content attribution step under IR 2025/2547. Producers of multi-nutrient products should verify attributed emissions per unit of product. Jordan's urea default (1.47 tCO₂e/t) is mid-range for the region.

Four Steps to Compliance

1
Register in the CBAM Operators Portal
Upload installation identification data: legal name, UN/LOCODE, GPS coordinates, contact person. This enables your EU buyer's authorised declarant to access your verified data.
2
Establish a monitoring plan
Document all energy inputs, production outputs, and emission calculation methodology per the governing EU implementing regulation. This is the foundation for any verified data submission.
3
Engage an accredited verifier
Appoint a third-party verifier accredited under EN ISO/IEC 14065 by an EA-recognised National Accreditation Body. A physical site visit is required before verified data can be submitted.
4
Share verified data with your EU buyer
Provide verified specific embedded emissions to your EU buyer's authorised CBAM declarant before the September 2027 declaration deadline. Verified actual data replaces default values — typically at significantly lower cost.
