Martial Arts and Import-Export Logistics Field Consulting Launched

[Asia Economy Reporter Suyeon Woo] The Korea International Trade Association announced on the 27th that it will implement 'Export-Import Logistics On-site Consulting' to support Korean companies struggling with export-import logistics disruptions.

The consulting will be conducted by professional consultants from capable domestic international logistics forwarding companies who will visit companies directly. It is divided into general consulting, which provides guidance on logistics processes and cost-saving methods for sea, air, and inland transportation targeting export beginner companies, and advanced consulting, which offers company-specific logistics optimization solutions such as supply chain management (SCM).

General consulting allows companies to apply for on-site consultations in areas such as logistics, customs and clearance, and logistics centers, and is provided free of charge once. Advanced consulting is a long-term consultation lasting about 2 to 3 months, with the association supporting 80% of the cost up to 2 million KRW. Phone and video consultations are also available if necessary.

Applications for consulting can be made on the Trade Association's website, and inquiries can be directed to the Trade Association's Logistics Service Office.

Lee Junbong, head of the Trade Association's Logistics Service Office, said, "Recently, the shortage of shipping space, high sea freight rates, and difficulties in securing empty containers have continued, exacerbating export-import logistics difficulties for companies," adding, "Our companies should actively utilize this export-import logistics consulting to find various solutions for resolving logistics difficulties and reducing logistics costs, and we must continuously strive to support this."
