The RoK has already been operating a similar system with China and Indonesia, according to Kim Jong-ho, director of the KCS’s International Affairs Bureau.
The KCS has also decided to expand the use of a self-certification system enabling exporters, producers and importers to voluntarily provide proofs of origin of goods. This will allow parties to quickly correct minor mistakes on certificates of origin and speed up customs procedures.
