It is not necessary to [create a different trade policy](/en/docs/tutorials/creating-a-trade-policy) for each sales channel, as the same trade policy can be used in multiple channels.\n\nTo request a trade policy for a sales channel outside the VTEX ecosystem, such as a marketplace for which there is no [native connector](/en/docs/tutorials/marketplace-strategies-at-vtex#integrating-with-a-native-connector-vtex) for example, follow the flow of [Requesting a trade policy](#request-a-trade-policy)\n\n## Requesting a trade policy \n\nTo request an additional trade policy for operating in the international market, contact our Growth Operations team through *[Support](https://supporticket.vtex.com/support)* by selecting **Commercial** and `New trade policy`.\n\n## Billing rules\n\nEach VTEX customer has a defined amount in their contract for purchasing additional commercial policies, which incur a fee. Please note that each VTEX account already has a [native commercial policy](/en/docs/tutorials/how-trade-policies-work), which does not fall under these billing rules.  \n\nA monthly fee is charged for each additional trade policy, whether used for integration with certified, partner, external, or VTEX marketplaces.\n\n### Learn more\n\n- [How trade policies work](/en/docs/tutorials/how-trade-policies-work)\n- [Creating a trade policy](/en/docs/tutorials/creating-a-trade-policy)\n- [Configuring a marketplace trade policy](/en/docs/tutorials/configuring-a-marketplace-trade-policy)\n- [Marketplace strategies at VTEX](/en/docs/tutorials/marketplace-strategies-at-vtex)"}
