Thanks to the explosion of online shopping, companies and customers throughout the world may now conduct cross-border transactions with the click of a mouse. Nevertheless, the current legal frameworks governing e-commerce have also revealed substantial issues as a result of this expansion, especially when it comes to cross-border transactions. difficulties with data privacy, intellectual property rights, enforcement of contracts across borders, jurisdictional conflicts, and disparities in consumer protection laws are some of the most important legal considerations in international e-commerce. The article finds the holes and inconsistencies that prevent cross-border e-commerce from running smoothly by analyzing existing legal frameworks and case studies. the initiatives taken by global bodies to address these issues and standardize rules for online trade, such as the WTO and UNCITRAL.
