I came across a reference to 'Mode 4 trade' recently, so decided to set this as my question for Library Week 2010:
Q. What is Mode 4 trade?
A. This is defined as individuals moving across borders to deliver a service e.g. a construction worker or fruit-picker. This is officially known as ‘movement of natural persons.’

This source gives very useful information about all four of the modes as set out by GATS. Certainly we have Mode 4 trade going on in New Zealand where fruitpickers are hired to come and pick summer fruit or kiwifruit.
