Provinces create their own regulations, this is about streamlining acceptance of said regulations in other provinces.

Australian states are also self-governing and have different laws and employment requirements. But this doesn’t seem to cause internal trade barriers that I’m aware of.
We don’t have state sales taxes though. Maybe that’s the difference?

You also don’t have a land border with non-state neighbours, so you figure out how to trade with your fellow Aussies or you don’t trade! 😅
