This article discusses the deadlock in the WTO on multilateral harmonization of nonpreferential rules of origin (RoO) and reviews some of the RoO included in recent preferential trade agreements. We argue that there is a trend towards adoption of similar approaches and that this suggests that cooperation to reduce the trade-impeding effects of differences in RoO across jurisdictions is more feasible than often is assumed by observers and policymakers. From a trade facilitation perspective such cooperation could be based on plurilateral initiatives under the umbrella of the WTO. These could include a focus on pursuit of greater convergence between preferential and nonpreferential RoO helping to achieve the long-standing goal of moving towards harmonization of rules of origin.

The purpose of this paper is to present some main economic factors which influence Gaza Seaport. Without direct access to the international market, the Palestinian economy will continue its dependence on Israeli economy mainly in employment, transport facilitation, and international trade. The greatest potential for Palestinian economic growth lies in trade. The port is important for creating new job opportunities, and for enhancing exporting capabilities, which are the most essential elements for development of the Palestinian economy. Israeli policies and procedures incur Palestinian exporters additional transportation costs when delivering their products to Israeli Ports or when transit these products to neighboring countries through Israeli controlled area. The public profit for the port is greater than the private profit. Therefore, constructing the port will have a great effect on the Palestinian economy. There are many challenges facing the port, some of them are the political stability, the economies of scale, and Israeli security measures and procedures.

This study examines the measures for the activation and the growth of intra-regional trade in Southeast Asia taking a look at the four dimensions of tariff rates, non-tariff barriers, trade facilitations, and trade infrastructures. Utilizing a gravity model, we performed empirical analysis and discussed the policy implications with the priorities to implement. To expand the intra-regional trade in Southeast Asia it would be necessary to enhance the level of trade facilitations and provide trade infrastructures, such as ports and airports as well as cutting the tariff rates and eliminating the non-trade barriers. In particular, in the case of exports of ASEAN6 to ASEAN6 the infrastructure is the important factor. Also, in the case of the exports of ASEAN6 to CLMV(Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam), it is expected that eliminating non-tariff barriers and enhancing trade facilitations may play important roles in the progress of intra-regional trade. These results may provide the important implications for Southeast Asian countries, which are trying to promote intra-regional trade ahead of the constitution of ASEAN Economic Community by 2015. Southeast Asian countries could be evaluated to achieve a certain level of trade liberalization and economic integration through the formation of AFTA. But in order for Southeast Asia to develop to advanced economic integrated region it requires mutual cooperations and policy harmonizations among regional countries. Also, for the elimination of non-tariff barriers, promoting trade facilitations, and providing infrastructures, the administrative, legal, and institutional measures would have to be fulfilled in advance. In addition, capital investment for constructing infrastructures would be necessary to realize the intra-regional trade expansion. However, to achieve the goal, it would require a large capital investment and highly mandated policy considerations and harmonizations among Southeast Asian countries in terms of further trade liberalization and economic integration.

China and South Korea have effectively reached a free trade agreement. The deal now faces legal and parliament reviews in the two countries. We need to discuss the recommendations on XML conversion with UN / CEFACT electronic documents. To solve this problem of interworking between these standards, Two kinds of translation rules is proposed for exchanging to UN / CEFACT Tag smoothly. For development and distribution of electronic documents to be conformed to international standards, it is enough to have the role of international activities continue to supply part of the domestic industry and the trends in participation and international standard. Our principal focus is on facilitating national and international transactions, through the simplification and harmonization of processes, procedures and information flows, and so contributing to the growth of global commerce. The agreement with South Korea will be China's ninth bilateral FTA.

These days international trade has been converting to e-Trade formation. At this point, Korea has been striving for the trade facilitation; reducing logistics cost and improving foreign competitiveness by computerization operations of the maritime transportation that logistics and customs clearance are involved. However, due to the substantial characteristic of logistics service, the necessity of flexible and various logistics service development using internet has been strongly suggested. In particular, the logistics service which could share documents related to international physical movement between shippers and logistics organization. In this regard, this study carried out interview to explore the problems of physical distribution service and to suggest development direction of e-logistics service. The reason why this survey carried out is that most of users want more effective e-logistic service that could diminish successively real expense decrease. After analysis of survey results, this paper presents the basic development direction and emphasis development subjects. Therefore, the basic direction is presented from four viewpoints; customer-oriented approach, service-oriented approach, total approach and step-by-step implementation. Furthermore six development subjects; web-based standard module development for small and medium forwarders, development of standard logistics ERP system, collaboration model between KTNET and KLNET, system improvement for real users, on-demand system building for SMEs and connection with legacy system have been required.

일본의 관세 및 세관행정은 매우 보수적이었으며 사회안전 및 국민 안전확보와 무역원활화 가운데 사회안전 및 국민안전확보 측면을 강조해 왔으며, 최근에는 지적재산권 침해물품에 대한 문제를 중요한 과제로 인식하고 있다. 이에 반해서 우리나라의 경우는 통관간소화를 추진하는 과정에서 수출입 신고내용과 물품의 일치여부를 검사비율이 현저하게 낮아져 수입업자가 악용할 수 있는 여지를 두고 있다. 이러한 가운데 일본의 관세 및 세관행정의 변화는 우리나라에게 어느 정도 시사점을 제시하고 있다고 보여진다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 일본의 관세 및 세관행정에 대한 변화에 대한 시사점을 도출하고 이러한 일본의 변화에 대한 우리나라의 대응방안을 제시하였다.

싱글 윈도우는 무역 촉진의 중요한 부분으로 세계 각국 특히 무역 의존도가 높은 아시아 국가들이 적극적으로 참여하고 있다. 한국은 지난 1990년대 무역자동화를 시작으로 2007년 한국형 싱글윈도우인 uTradeHub를 오픈했고 2010년에는 uTradeHub상의 전자네고시스템을 개발, 인터넷에서도 신용장 네고가 실현되었다. 특히 통관 부분에 국한된 많은 나라들의 싱글윈도우와 달리 한국의 uTraHub는 세계 최초의 웹 기반 싱글 윈도우로 바이어나 셀러를 찾는 단계에서부터 최종 결제까지 인터넷에서 이루어지는 것이 특징이다. 현재까지는 국내에서만 한해 이와 같은 싱글 윈도우서비스가 가능하지만 외국 싱글윈도우와의 연계를 통해 단절없는 싱글 윈도우 서비스를 제공한다는 목표이다. 중국은 싱글윈도우 구축에 있어서 여타 아시아 국가에 비해서 다소 늦게 출발했다. 골든게이트 프로젝트로 시작된 무역 자동화가 E-port 프로젝트를 통해서 전자 통판서비스로 이어졌다. 현재중국에서 싱글윈도우의 주체로 고려되는 대상은 전자통관시스템주체인 '차이나 E포트'와 한국의 KTNET과 유사한 CIECC, 싱글 윈도우를 운영하는 각 지방 정부 등이다. 싱글윈도우의 성공 조건인 적극적인 정부 지원, 법적 기반의 마련, 관련 기관간의 협조, 적절한 기술 조화 등을 고려했을 때 법적 기반이 다소 미흡하긴 하지만 중국은 이미 성공을 위한 요건은 대부분 갖추었다고 볼 수 있다. 중국의 싱글 윈도우를 이끄는 주체로는 경쟁 체제인 지방 정부보다는 중앙 정부의 적극적인 지원을 전제로 해서 기업인 CIECC가 진행하는 형태가 바람직할 것으로 생각한다, 특히 향후 외국 싱글윈도우와의 원활한 연계를 위해서도 기업이 비즈니스 파트너로서 나서는 것이 바람직하다고 분석되어진다.

The role of Customs Service has changed significantly in recent times, and what may represent core business for one administration may fall outside the sphere of responsibility of another. This is reflective of the changing environment in which customs authorities operate, and the corresponding changes in government priorities. Since the terrorist attacks on the United States in 2001, customs administrations around the world have been developing AEO programs in which they grant AEO status to operators who are well-compliant with the supply chain security standards. These programs also provide such operators with trade facilitation measures under the customs procedures, acknowledging the importance of ensuring secure and facilitated trade. Thus, this paper analysed leading countries's AEO program regime focused on the two fold : (1)provide an overview and present a implication of its AEO program ; (2)offer an appropriate proposal to Korea Customs Service's new program.
