Anumber of Chinese studentswhoare studying inKorea have been gradually increasing since Korea and China established diplomatic relations. Many of themsale Korean products to Chinawhile studying for their degree programs in colleges. This kind of transactions can be named C2C overseas direct sales. C2Coverseas direct saleswhich are being performed byChinese student are good for exportation of Korean products. However Some of these transactions are not legal according to present law, First, Chinese student don’t have legal status tomake the transactions. Second, Chinese students usuallymake false declarations for evading the taxes, including tariff and VAT, Third, Chinese students can not offer the after-sale service for the goods for the Chinese consumers. Although C2C transactions have some legal matters, they should not be banned by a one-size-fits-allmethod. In this study, we highly recommend for the development of C2C transactions, First, Korean government should give Chinese students legal status. Second, China customs must strictly prohibit illegal activities of smuggling by taking advantage of postal route. Third, sellers inChina can offer the after-sale service to consumers through some specialist A/S firms.
