The US is advocating for a permanent ban on tariffs for ecommerce at the upcoming WTO ministerial, emphasizing the need for stability in digital trade. The current moratorium on customs duties, renewed every two years since 1998, faces opposition from countries like Brazil and India, who seek to maintain domestic policy options. The US, supported by several nations, aims to make the moratorium permanent, but political tensions and trade disputes complicate the proposal. The WTO estimates that digitally delivered services exports will reach $4.8 trillion in 2024, highlighting the stakes for global businesses and governments.
