“한·미·일 등 WTO 19개 회원국, 디지털 전송 무관세 합의”

This agreement fills the gap left by the failed WTO multilateral moratorium extension in March 2026, providing continued tariff-free treatment for digital services including streaming and software. For digital-centric economies, it ensures trade predictability amid the breakdown of formal WTO consensus on e-commerce tariff rules. The 19-member framework signals a shift toward plurilateral agreements when broader consensus fails, potentially influencing other WTO members to join similar coalitions.
