cross-border trade
Transnational goods exchange
Cross-border trade is commerce between parties in different countries—the exchange of goods, services, or capital across national boundaries.
The term emphasizes the international dimension: Cross-border trade has increased since tariffs were lowered.
It appears frequently in discussions of customs regulations, trade agreements, and economic policy.
