Having ahead the Korea-US FfA come into effect by beginning of the 2012, the interest to U.S. trade law has been highly increased. The abuse of U.S. antidumping measures, especially, have been alleged by many developed countries, that's why it need to be studied. For initiating antidumping investigation, the scope of "subject merchandise" has to be determinated. But there is no regulation about the term "subject merchandise(or product under consideration)" on WTO Antidumping Agreement as well as U.S. Antidumping Law. U.S. antidumping law defines domestic like product as "a product that is like, or in the absence of like, most similar in characteristics and uses with, the article subject to an investigation under this title". Thus, the reference point from which the like product analysis begins is "the article subject to an investigation". The Department of Commerce should interpret the subject merchandise in accordance with customary rules, beginning with its ordinary meaning. The note of caution is that the DOC generally exercises 'broad discretion to define and clarify the scope of an antidumping investigation in a manner which reflects the intent of the petition. This paper investigates the survey scope of product in U.S. antidumping law through related regulations and cases. In addition, it was carefully examined because the scope of subject merchandise has effect on antidumping duty order.

As the volume of online e-commerce transactions increases, items diversify and the classification becomes complicated. E-commerce platforms that specialize in dealing only in one area are emerging, and the area is diversifying. Three problems were identified by researching the craft online e-commerce platform, one of the various types of professional e-commerce platforms. First of all, although craft materials are diversified and complex on the platform, the existing craft e-commerce system is fragmented in structure to categorize complex crafts, making it difficult to accurately present search results that meet various criteria. Second, although appearance is the main reason for purchasing artifacts, it is rare for users to categorize them according to appearance, so they have to judge and filter each work directly. Finally, the language entered when searching for artifacts by non-technical experts is not reflected in the language used to categorize artifacts in the taxonomic system, so the language used for searching is highly accurate. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to add and consider complex attributes in the field of technology to meet the search criteria. Properties to be added must include the main appearance in the search for artifacts. In addition, the government aims to develop a taxonomic system that can reflect non-experts' search languages in the search of works through artificial intelligence natural language processing technology.
