 Abstract—This paper first establishes an evaluation system consisting of 11 indicators in 3 dimensions and applies the entropy weight method to measure the trade facilitation level of ASEAN countries. Results demonstrate a substantial gap in the level of trade facilitation among ASEAN countries. The paper then analyzes the impact mechanism of trade facilitation on cross-border e-commerce and conducts an empirical analysis using an extended gravity model with data from 2006 to 2020. The study finds that an improvement in trade facilitation in ASEAN will boost China-ASEAN cross-border e-commerce exports. However, the impact of various indicators of trade facilitation differs, with the infrastructure environment and customs environment having a significant positive effect on China-ASEAN cross-border e-commerce exports, while the impact of the policy environment is not significant. Finally, the paper provides recommendations for ASEAN to enhance the development of cross-border e-commerce between China and ASEAN, including ways to improve the level of trade facilitation.

Keywords—trade facilitation, cross-border e-commerce, China-ASEAN, gravity model
