‘More Transparent’ Korea Customs Service Implements Policy Real-Name System

[Asia Economy (Daejeon) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] The Korea Customs Service is implementing a policy real-name system to enhance transparency in customs administration.

The Korea Customs Service announced on the 3rd that it has selected the "key projects for the policy real-name system" this year and published them on the Korea Customs Service website.

The policy real-name system is a system that guarantees the public's right to know and increases the transparency and accountability of policy projects by disclosing the real names of those in charge and the implementation process to the public.

This year, the Korea Customs Service included 20 projects such as "Special Support Measures for Utilizing FTAs in Response to the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19)" and "Emergency Support for COVID-19 Affected Companies" as key projects under the policy real-name system and made them public.

Along with this, the Korea Customs Service will make customs administration more accessible to the public through the implementation of the "Public Application Real-Name System."

The Public Application Real-Name System allows citizens to directly apply for projects they wish to be disclosed among those not included in the key projects disclosed by central administrative agencies or local governments. However, this system is meaningful only when the public takes an active interest in customs administration and provides proactive opinions.

Citizens can apply for the Public Application Real-Name System three times a year?in June, August, and November?under the "Gwanghwamun 1st Street Public Application Policy Real-Name System" section.

At this time, the Korea Customs Service reviews the submitted content and then discloses the project overview, project department, and person in charge.
