Abstract:

Crossing national borders necessitates considerations which do not usually characterize domestic

decision-making. As pitfalls are inevitable, fundamental knowledge of terms constituting the international

agreement may serve to prevent or mitigate loss of trust, compromised business relationships, and

adverse financial investment. Due to inherent challenges posed by entering unchartered territories with

new business initiatives, all parties negotiating trade agreements must be cognizant of the risks involved.

This article provides insight into key provisions, terms, and considerations of which entities entering into

an international agreement should be aware.
