AB - As the GDPR and AI Act increasingly act as de facto trade barriers, the global trade landscape faces new challenges, yet WTO discussions remain deficient and studies on how these digital regulations correlate with the WTO TBT Agreement are scarce. This paper conducts a comparative analysis of the digital trade policies of the EU, the United States, and major countries, and evaluates the consistency of digital standards and traditional trade frameworks by examining the TBT chapters in WTO agreements and major FTAs. The study identifies a gap between traditional trade and the modern digital economy that is largest in intangible goods and data, isolates regulations acting as trade barriers, and presents perspectives for domestic policy improvement. To address this, it proposes ⅰ) establishing the interpretation of international norms and developing supporting logic, ⅱ) expanding the system of international mutual recognition agreements, and ⅲ) securing the international consistency of domestic norms
