Mode 1 (Cross-border supply)

Mode 1 (Cross-border supply) refers to the delivery of a service or product from one country to another without the provider needing to be physically present in the customer’s location. This includes activities like online professional services, remote consulting, or digital media streaming. Essentially, the service crosses national borders electronically, enabling international transactions while the provider remains in their home country. This mode emphasizes the movement of digital or remote services across borders without physical delivery or presence at the client’s site.
