intercountry
Across national borders
Intercountry means between or among countries, describing activities, relationships, or processes that cross national boundaries: intercountry adoption, intercountry trade agreements.
The term appears most frequently in legal and bureaucratic contexts, particularly regarding adoption of children from foreign nations.
It functions similarly to international but often implies direct bilateral arrangements rather than broader global scope.
