📌 Digital Tariffs 2026: WTO E-Commerce Moratorium Dies – Customs Duties on Netflix, SaaS & Data Now Possible | Fireside Chat
The 28-year WTO ban on customs duties for electronic transmissions has just lapsed. For the first time since 1998, countries can now tax downloads, streaming (Netflix, Spotify), e-books, SaaS subscriptions, cloud data transfers and every other electronic flow — exactly like physical goods.
In this relaxed Fireside Chat, Justin Hayden Miller breaks down:
• Why this is “MEGA” for businesses and consumers (and why the US and EU fought so hard to keep it)
• The new patchwork of digital border rules that compliance teams will have to track
• Why this changes everything we thought we knew about customs in the 21st century
• Plus: latest Hormuz crisis update, aversion therapy strategy, Suez & Panama chokepoints, UNCTAD trade figures, and what it all means for global supply chains
A genuine “Paradox Bomb” episode: in the age of seamless digital globalisation, the rules designed to keep data borderless have just crumbled.
🎙️ Fireside Chat format — no script, straight talk from the armchair.
