Why EU Default Values Cost You More
📊
Deliberately High
The EU sets default values based on the worst-performing producers to incentivize real data collection.
📈
10% Markup in 2026
On top of already high defaults, a 10% penalty markup is added if you don't provide real data. This rises to 30% by 2028 (Art. 36, Reg. 2023/956).

Your Supplier Is Better
Most modern Asian factories have 40-60% lower emissions than the EU defaults assume.
