Digital trade is the transfer of data, products, or services by electronic means, usually the Internet. Digital trade can play a role in e-commerce by facilitating the buying, selling, and servicing of physical goods and services.

OBS

The concept designated by the English term "digital trade" is more specific than that designated by the French term "commerce numérique" as the latter does not distinguish between the transfer of strictly digital data, products or services and the buying, selling and servicing of physical goods and services.

En mettant en place l'Accord Canada–États-Unis–Mexique (ACEUM), les pays membres ont convenu d'un ensemble de règles qui favorisera la croissance économique et les débouchés commerciaux grâce à l'utilisation d'Internet, et qui éliminera les obstacles éventuels au commerce numérique.

OBS

En anglais, le terme «digital trade» désigne le transfert de données, de produits et de services par voie électronique, le plus souvent par Internet, mais exclut cependant l'achat et la vente de biens et de services physiques par Internet, qu'on désigne par «electronic commerce». Le français ne fait pas encore le partage entre ces deux notions.
