The goal of this paper is to describe the problem of cybersecurity-based concerns regarding trade in IoT goods, and investment in manufacturing or distribution facilities for IoT goods, to assess the pressure that these concerns place on security exceptions in international trade law and international investment law, and to formulate a response in terms of a cooperative regulatory regime that can foster international trust or verification to allow trade and foreign investment in relation to IoT goods to continue. Compliance with that cooperative regulatory regime would be a condition for refraining from asserting security exceptions in order to allow trade in IoT goods and investment in relation to IoT goods to continue.
