Why work with Ivanka on USMCA Chapter 19 — Digital Trade (United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement)

Chapter 19 (Digital Trade) of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA, effective July 2020) establishes digital trade rules between the US, Mexico, and Canada. It is the most comprehensive digital trade chapter in any trade agreement. Key provisions include prohibition on customs duties on digital products, free cross-border data flows, prohibition on data localisation, source code protection, liability protections for online platforms (Section 230-equivalent), and consumer protection. The chapter sets the gold standard for digital trade provisions in FTAs.
