Hyundai Steel announced on March 5 that it held briefing sessions from February 23 to 26, visiting local clients in Germany, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia to share information on CBAM and EU trade regulations and discuss response strategies.

The aim of these sessions was to enhance the understanding of the system among local importers and clients ahead of the full implementation of CBAM, and to reduce uncertainty regarding potential cost burdens and compliance procedures that may arise in the future. More than 160 representatives from around 30 EU-based client companies attended the event.

The briefings focused on practical topics, including: key CBAM regulations and future procedures; importer obligations and compliance rules; Hyundai Steel's response to CBAM; and an overview of major EU trade regulations. In particular, Hyundai Steel presented real data as case studies of potential scenarios after the implementation of the system, which helped participants better understand the implications.

A representative from an EU client company who attended the event said, "With the official implementation of CBAM approaching, there are still many uncertainties on the ground, and there were significant practical concerns. Hyundai Steel’s sharing of specific data and response directions was very helpful."

Hyundai Steel plans to continue regularly sharing information related to EU trade regulations with domestic and international clients and to strengthen cooperation in response to these changes.

A Hyundai Steel representative stated, "CBAM and EU trade policies are not short-term regulations, but changes that will impact the market structure over the medium to long term. We will continue to maintain a stable supply environment through ongoing communication with our local clients."
