The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA): E-Commerce?

##Step 1: NAFTA's Focus<br />###NAFTA primarily focused on reducing trade barriers for physical goods between the US, Canada, and Mexico. While it laid some groundwork for digital trade, it predated the widespread adoption of e-commerce as we know it today. Therefore, it didn't have specific provisions extensively addressing e-commerce.<br />##Step 2: Impact on E-Commerce<br />###While not explicitly designed for it, NAFTA's reduction in tariffs and other trade barriers indirectly facilitated the growth of cross-border e-commerce by lowering costs and simplifying transactions for physical goods. This created a more favorable environment for online businesses to operate.<br /><br />#
