The legal obligation sits with the authorised CBAM declarant in the EU, but the Turkish producer is the only source of the emissions data that decides the cost. Without verified actual data, the default values apply, and T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s default table assumes blast furnace steel and primary aluminium.
