What is the difference between interstate and intrastate commerce?
Interstate commerce is the movement of a shipment or service across state or international borders, or the intent to continue a movement within a state that originated from another state or country. In practical terms, you could still be considered interstate commerce even if you never cross the state line, depending upon the origin and destination of the shipment or service. Intrastate commerce is the movement that originates in a single state, moves in that state only and delivers in that originating state. 49 CFR ยง390.5 defines these terms.
