International law refers to the various rules, agreements, and treaties that govern the relations between nations. Different countries are parties to different international agreements between countries, and so the operative law varies. When doing business internationally, it is important to understand which laws apply and when either national and/or international laws prevail—should an issue occur.

The most common international laws that businesses encounter include customs regulations for importing and exporting of goods, privacy laws that affect where online businesses reach (regardless of where hosted or the intended audience), private international laws that cover disputes between individuals or businesses of different countries, and intellectual property rights laws/treaties.
