Foreign Commerce — for purposes of motor carrier liability limits requirements, motor carriers in
foreign commerce are subject to the same requirements as carriers in interstate
commerce. As defined in the Motor Carrier Act (MCA) of 1980, the term means
commerce between any place in a foreign country, or between the United States
and a territory or possession of the United States, insofar as such
transportation takes place within the United States. It also includes commerce
between places in a foreign country or countries (e.g., trade between Canada
and Mexico), insofar as such transportation takes place within the United
States.
