Trade law is a branch of law that governs the regulation of international trade and commerce between nations. It encompasses a set of rules, agreements, and regulations that dictate the terms of trade transactions, tariffs, import and export regulations, and dispute resolution mechanisms. Trade law covers various aspects such as trade agreements, customs procedures, tariffs, trade remedies (such as anti-dumping and countervailing duties), intellectual property rights protection, and trade dispute settlement mechanisms like those facilitated by the World Trade Organization (WTO). Its primary goal is to encourage and regulate trade between countries, promote fair competition, and resolve disputes that benefit all parties involved.
