nonforeign
Not from abroad
Nonforeign means domestic or not from another country.
The term appears in legal, trade, and bureaucratic contexts where distinguishing domestic from foreign matters: nonforeign assets, nonforeign nationals.
It's an awkward double-negative construction—usually native, domestic, or local serves better in ordinary speech.
