[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Choi Hyun-joo] The Gyeongnam FTA Utilization Support Center of the Changwon Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Gyeongnam announced on the 24th that it held a training session on the origin verification process for about 20 export-import managers of local companies.

The training was held in the large conference room on the 2nd floor of the Changwon Chamber of Commerce and Industry, where Lee Kang-hak, a customs officer from Daehan Customs Corporation, explained in a case-centered manner the origin verification procedures, response strategies for origin verification, and case analysis of origin verification to effectively respond to FTA origin verification.

He emphasized the importance of preparation according to the verification procedures and methods required by the FTA agreement.

The customs officer stated, “Recently, in the origin verification of US-imported textiles, cases excluding the Korea-US FTA agreement have occurred, such as arbitrary interpretation of the minimum allowable criteria, and there are increasing points to be cautious about regarding the origin determination criteria for set goods. As individual companies’ origin management is more important than ever, the interest and capacity building of the responsible personnel are necessary.”

The Gyeongnam FTA Center operates not only group training but also customized small-group training visiting companies, and provides free FTA consultation and on-site visit consulting. For more details, inquiries can be made to the Changwon Chamber of Commerce and Industry Gyeongnam FTA Utilization Support Center call center.
