CBDF (Cross-border data flow) is a social phenomenon with the development of digital information technology, and it is also the main way of digital trade. It can even be said that all trade related to CBDF can be called digital trade. With the continuous development of digital economy and the maturity of digital technology, the black and gray industry is constantly upgrading, and the national data security problem is becoming increasingly prominent. This paper analyzes the legal risks of cross-border data circulation at present, and then discusses the importance of coordinated international rules in cross-border data circulation. We should improve the common standards and strengthen the strength to deal with the competition of digital industry, so as to help the substantive progress of international rules and regulations of CBDF in the field of digital trade.
