Zero discriminatory nontariff barriers, which means no discrimination by either party in the content or exercise of the laws, regulations, or practices affecting the provision of services of either party, including no restrictions on the entry of businesspeople in the conduct of the provision of business services;
Zero restrictions on competition for government procurement;
Zero restrictions on foreign direct investment in the economy;
Zero restrictions on cross-border data flow;
Elimination to the fullest extent possible of impediments to expeditious customs clearance procedures for both imports and exports;
Preclusion of the adoption of antidumping or safeguard measures between or among parties; and
Strict prohibitions against the use of nontariff barriers, such as performance requirements, restrictions based on scientifically unsubstantiated public health and safety concerns, and restrictions based on national security concerns that fail to meet certain minimum standards.
