The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is a new policy put forward by the European Union, commonly known as "carbon tariff". CBAM is the first policy tool in the world to adopt a trade policy to deal with the risk of carbon leakage, which aims to make the price basically the same paid for the same amount of carbon emissions within and outside the EU.
At present, CBAM covers six industries: steel, cement, aluminum, chemical fertilizer, power and hydrogen. According to the regulations, as long as the carbon price of the production place is lower than the EU carbon price, once imported into the EU customs area, it is necessary to purchase CBAM vouchers to make up the difference between them. Therefore, the essence of CBAM is to set up a virtual carbon pricing mechanism for imported products. BV developed this course for companies with products exported to the EU to meet the requirements of CBAM and help their products go abroad.

碳边境调节机制（Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism,CBAM）是欧盟提出的一项新政策，俗称“碳关税”。CBAM是全球范围内首个采用贸易政策应对碳泄漏风险的政策工具，旨在使欧盟内外的同量碳排放所需支付的价格基本持平。

目前，CBAM涵盖范围包括钢铁、水泥、铝、化肥、电力和氢6个行业。根据规定，只要是生产地碳定价低于欧盟碳价的产品，一旦进口到欧盟关税区，就要购买CBAM凭证，补足其间的差额。因此，CBAM本质是为进口产品设立一个虚拟的碳定价机制。必维特开发此课程面向需要进行CBAM填报，面向有产品出口至欧盟的企业，使其满足CBAM的要求，助力其产品的出海。

Leveraging China’s robust supply chain, companies have outsourced components, allowing them to focus more on core areas such as produce design and innovation. However, after years of outsourcing, some companies are shifting components back to in-house production, as they find it enhances quality, protects their brand, and reduces costs in the long term.

On Thursday, November 21st, we invite you to join fellow Chamber members to discuss experiences on this topic. Miele’s Dongguan plant will also share insights on evaluating whether to outsource or produce components in-house, along with a guided factory tour.
