IMPORT Token
Origins
An EU Allowance permits European companies covered by the EU Emission Trade System (ETS) to emit one tonne of CO2. EU ETS has been in place since 2005.
Starting 2026, European importers are required to purchase CBAM certificates, which have temporary validity, to compensate for the CO2 emissions of imported goods.
To safeguard against future price increases, importers may choose to purchase Emission Allowances (EUAs) concurrently, as the CBAM price is based on EUAs. EUAs do not have an expiry date.
Purpose
Buying EUAs speculatively disrupts the ETS's stability and directly undermines the objectives of the EU Green Deal.
The IMPORT Token addresses this challenge effectively as it is a digital good that mimics the price of an Emission Allowances (EUAs).
The IMPORT Token is a digital product available exclusively on this platform and surrendered only to this platform.
IMPORT Token is designed to offer flexibility for companies affected by the EU’s CBAM regulation. IMPORT Token is neither a tool for CBAM compliance nor a financial instrument.
Smart policy helps fighting climate change
Fully Independent
IMPORT Tokens have no expiration date and are accessible globally. The IMPORT Token ecosystem operates independently of the EU ETS and CBAM certificates and does not replace or complement either system.
EUAs are auctioned weekly by the European Energy Exchange (EEX). The IMPORT Token price reflects the latest price for the EU Market place as published by the EEX - see reference link below.
The price of the IMPORT Token follows the price of EUAs until the EU publishes the price of CBAM, which is planned for early 2026. The price of CBAM is based on the weekly average of EUAs. Therefore, when CBAM is active, the impact on the IMPORT Token will be solely technical, with no impact on the price of IMPORT Token itself.

Price expectations
The price trajectory of the IMPORT Token is directly linked to developments in the EU ETS market. The following factors significantly influence EUA price dynamics:
- Market Demand: Prices are shaped by industrial adaptation to stricter carbon caps and the resulting demand for allowances.
- Allowance (EUAs) Supply: The EU periodically reduces the supply of allowances under the ETS to encourage decarbonization efforts.
