RCEP 발효에 대비한 우리나라 수출기업의 효과적인 대응방안에 관한 연구

Purpose : The purpose of this study is to respond to measures to expand the scope of tariff benefits for Korean companies in preparation for the entry into force of the RCEP (Comprehensive Regional Economic Partnership), the largest multilateral trade agreement. Research design, data, methodology : This study examined the contents of RCEP by major fields through customs administration operation guidelines and utilization strategies according to the RCEP entry into force, and effective response strategies of Korean exporters through the rules of origin and country of origin procedures in the RCEP agreement. Results : Unlike before, RCEP unified the standards of origin, and in addition to institutional issuance, autonomous issuance by certified exporters and Back-to-Back certificates of origin. In addition, it is expected that the scope of FTA benefits will be expanded by allowing accumulative criteria of origin. Conclusions : In conclusion, RCEP is a large-scale agreement covering one-third of the world's trade, economy, and population, so our companies will be able to lay the foundation for market expansion and economic growth through RCEP participation. Since RCEP is the first FTA to open the mutual market between Korea and Japan, Korean companies will have to accurately understand the main contents of the agreement to expand FTA tariff benefits through RCEP. If necessary, it should be possible to accurately determine the origin through an expert customs agent.
