by the carbon border regulation mechanism. First of all, the implementation of the
carbon border adjustment mechanism may lead to the price increase of some prod-
ucts, especially those products with high carbon emissions. This may make consumers
more inclined to purchase low-carbon products, thus changing the product demand and
supply pattern on the e-commerce platform. For example, commodities that meet the
low-carbon standard may receive more attention and promotion, while high-carbon
products may face pressure from market competition. Secondly, the implementation of
the carbon border adjustment mechanism may affect the development of cross-border
electronic commerce. As countries’ carbon emissions regulations become more strin-
gent, cross-border electronic commerce may be affected by additional carbon emission
costs when facing cross-border transportation of goods. As a result, e-commerce com-
panies may need to adjust their cross-border supply chains to reduce carbon emissions
or face higher operating costs. This could change the internationalization strategy of
e-commerce companies, such as choosing greener and more sustainable supply chain
partners, or speeding up localized production to reduce cross-border transportation.
Therefore, the carbon border adjustment mechanism may have far-reaching impact on
the product range and cross-border business model of e-commerce.
1.2.2 the economic impact on e-commerce enterprises

The introduction of carbon border regulation mechanism will have significant eco-
nomic impact on e-commerce enterprises. First, such a mechanism may increase the
operating costs of e-commerce enterprises. As carbon emissions are taken into account,
companies may need to invest more resources in emission reduction measures, such as
purchasing carbon emission quotas or adopting more environmentally friendly produc-
tion technologies. This may lead to an increase in the production cost of the enterprise,
thus affecting its competitiveness and profitability. Secondly, the carbon border regula-
tion mechanism may change the market pattern of e-commerce enterprises. Attention to
carbon emissions may lead consumers to prefer environmentally friendly products and
services, which may affect the sales results of enterprises. Companies that manage car-
bon emissions effectively and provide environmentally friendly products may benefit,
while those that fail to adapt to this trend may face a decline in market share. There-
fore, e-commerce enterprises need to recognize the possible market challenges brought
by the carbon border regulation mechanism and adopt corresponding strategies to adapt
to the new market environment.
