Developing countries have faced serious difficulties in implementing customs procedures. For example, they have experienced heavy administrative constraints such as lack of qualified personnel and non-computerization. Some importers in developing countries have tried to undervalue or overvalue the imported goods and misclassify them with the target of lowering the incidence of customs duties. In order to address these problems many of developing countries often require the exporter to get a Clean Report of Findings(CRF) issued by a preshipment inspection entity. This study tries to reply to the following questions with which the exporters are faced in the process of issuance of CRF. First, what are the provisions and regulations that the exporters have to note in the event a CRF is issued by the inspection entity? Second, how do the exporters safeguard their own rights in case of price verification? Third, how to protect the confidential business information to be submitted by the exporters in order to get a CRF? Fourth, how can the exporters respond to the improper conducts that the inspection entities have done?

This paper analyses the Korean information and communication technology supply side across the economy using 1995, 2000 and 2003 input-output tables. Input-output analysis considers inter-industry relations in an economy, depicting how the output of one industry goes to another industry where it serves as an input, and thereby makes one industry dependent on another both as customer of output and as supplier of Inputs. It can be evaluated that the recent growth of Korean ICT sector has come from the development of communication service and equipment industry and software industry. Although the high performance and positive revealed comparative advantages in ICT manufacturing sector, the value added and employment in that sector are not satisfactory. It may reflect in part high portion of imported intermediate goods in ICT manufacturing. However, it is fortunate that ICT services, which accounted for relatively high value added, induce the development of ICT manufacturing and follow strong export performance. Moreover, it is expected that the software sector with high value added and employment will be a major driver of ICT growth.

South Korea has allowed parallel importation since 1995. Parallel importation causes competition among importers in the logistics process allowing, consumers to purchase foreign brand products at low prices. Most parallel importers base product pricing on subjective judgements. Fashion products in particular, have different sales rates depending on trends and seasons, so sales performance varies greatly depending on selling price timing and policy. The merchandiser (MD) set the price on parallel importation products by aggregating information on imported products and pricing goods. However, this customized process is very time consuming for the MD. This is because the logistics process of parallel importation's customs clearance procedures and repair works is complicated and takes a significant amount of time. In this paper, we propose an improved parallel importation logistics process based on big data, which automatically sets the price of parallel importation products.

A geographical indication (GI) is a sign used on products that have a specific geographical origin and possess qualities or a reputation that are due to that origin. This paper explores ways to protect Korean goods as GIs in the U.S. and EU by examining the efforts of the Colombian Coffee Federation (FNC) to protect Colombian coffee. The FNC enhanced the global awareness of Colombian coffee and increased the profits of Colombian coffee producers by registering Colombian coffee as a certification mark in the U.S. and as a GI under the EU's quality schemes. The Korean government protects kimchi under its own GI system. For kimchi products to earn the label "Korean kimchi," the three main ingredients must be produced in Korea. This has been a challenge for kimchi producers, who often rely on imported ingredients. Korea could learn from FNC's strategies to improve the current GI system for kimchi.

Purpose - This paper empirically investigates the relationship between firm productivity and importing intermediate inputs in the Korean manufacturing sector. Design/methodology - This paper tests the two related hypotheses on the relationship between importing and productivity for a sample of Korean manufacturing firms. We test the self-selection hypothesis by comparing pre-entry levels of productivity between importers and non-importers. We test the learning-by-importing hypothesis by employing propensity score matching with differencein-differences approach. Findings - Future importers are more productive than future non-importers years before they start to import, which supports the self-selection hypothesis. In contrast, there is no strong evidence for learning-by-importing. Originality/value - This paper is the first study to explore the relationship between importing and firm-level productivity for Korean firms. The results have an important implication on trade policies to lower or raise trade barriers in imported inputs.

The import content of export (ICE) has served as an indicator of global integration for several decades. It is defined as the share of imported products embodied in exports and can be interpreted as the relative degree of the utilization of global production network (GPN) over the domestic supply chain (DSC) in terms of 'value-added.' This paper proposes two new indicators of global integration. They are defined as the ratios of imports (foreign products) to gross output (domestic products) generated by exports and can be interpreted as the relative degrees of the utilization of GPN over DSC in terms of 'production.' Both indicators are easy to compute and can be compared between years, between countries, between industries, and between groups of industries. The paper applies the new indicators to the recent edition of the OECD's Input-Output Database. Finally, the paper shows that the recent slowdown in international trade is mostly due to the decrease in the international trade of intermediate goods, with significant implications regarding the future of global integration.

최근 수십 년간 전 세계는 경제발전과 수송수단의 향상으로 다양한 외래종이 침입할 수 있는 시대가 되었다. 외국산 농산물의 수입요구는 외래종의 침입을 보다 용이하게 하며 이렇게 침입한 외래종은 국내 생물상의 교란을 야기한다. 식물검역의 목적은 외래해충으로부터 국내 농업환경 및 생태계를 보호하는데 있다. 본 연구에서는 농림축산검역본부의 병해충정보시스템에 기록된 자료를 통해 1996년부터 2020년까지 수입절화류에서 발견한 해충 검출 동향을 분석하였다. 이 기간동안 총 69개국 159품목 147,160개에서 검출된 해충은 13,757건의 467종 (잠정규제해충 273종, 관리해충 78종, 비검역해충 118종)이었다. 특히, 총채벌레목과 매미목 해충의 검출율이 전체의 80% 이상을 차지하여 수입 절화류에서 가장 많이 발견되는 해충분류군으로 분석하였다.

본 연구에서는 미국의 판례와 법제를 살펴봄으로서 기존의 FTA관련한 법제연구가 주로 협정문해석을 위주로 하는 점을 보완하였다. 또한 향후에 우리 기업이 분쟁의 발생에 대비한 법적대응방안을 구체적으로 세우는데 연구의 주된 목적이 있다. 미국의 FTA특혜관세를 관장하는 법은 주로 미국관세법(Tariff Act of 1930)이라 할 수 있고, 이를 보완하기 위하여 각국과 체결한 자유무역협정과 연계하여 관세행정을 시행하고 있다. 연방관세법에서 주로 쟁점이 되는 사항은 상품의 분류와 관련하여 통합관세율표(Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States)의 해석문제라고 할 수 있다. 한미FTA협정문과 미국관세법에 의해 분쟁을 판단함에 있어 미국연방법원은 연방세관이 내리는 결정에 대하여 비교적 우호적인 태도를 취하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 이는 미연방세관당국이 통관과정에서의 많은 규제경험으로 법적인 하자를 크게 노정하지 않고 관세행정을 다루고 있음을 의미한다. 따라서 한국의 수출업자는 미국 진출시에 발생할 수 있는 관세법상의 문제점을 미리 점검하고 세관당국의 규제선례를 적극적으로 수집하여 미국세관당국의 조치를 사전에 예상하고 이에 대한 대비책을 미리 세우는 것이 중요할 것이다.

The FTA(Free Trade Agreements) are loading the world trade liberalization. Entering into FTA with Chile on 1 Apr 2004, Korea is trying to tie with Singapore and Japan in FTA. It also has a long-term plan for free-trading with China, USA, ASEAN, Canada and India. The portion of the dairy products imported from Chile, Japan and Singapore is under 1% of total dairy product imports. However, in the long run the conclusion of FTA with dairy product exporting countries such as USA, Australia, New Zealand and Netherlands will give a big impact on the dairy industry with abrupt increment in dairy product imports. Especially, whole and skim milk powder imports which are imported on the high tariff rate expect to increase. Furthermore mixed milk powder(Food preparations of goods and other whey powders) imports which domestic price is higher than world market also will dramatically increase. The milk powder stocks have increased since 2002. That made the government carry out some policies. Those include slaughtering milking cow(2002) and terminating the dairy farm enterprise and decreasing in milk production(2003). Also the case of artificial insemination by a Hanwoo fertilized egg has increased with the rise of Hanwoo farm price in 2003. By those reason, it is forecasted that the downward trend in the number of cow will be continued in 2004. It is also forecasted that the raw milk production in 2004 will decrease 4.4% compared to last year due to decreasing in the number of milking cow and raw milk collecting quota.
