Gwangju Main Customs, Selected as 'Top Gwangju Customs Officer' for September

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jin-Hyung Park] Gwangju Main Customs Office (Customs Director Seung-Hwan Jeong) selected Yang Ga-Yeon, Customs Administration Officer at Gwangyang Customs, who blocked illegal waste exports, as the ‘Top Gwangju Customs Officer of September’ and awarded him.

Yang, who was selected as the Top Gwangju Customs Officer this time, detected a company attempting to smuggle about 42.5 tons of waste paper by falsely declaring it as general paper products, a non-regulated item, instead of waste paper newly designated as an export-import declaration item by the Ministry of Environment in December last year, through a detailed export inspection, contributing to the establishment of fair trade order.

He also strengthened export screening and selective inspections for items suspected of illegal waste export, detecting a company attempting to illegally export about 2.3 tons by exporting waste bags while possessing export declaration certificates for waste fishing nets, which are classified as waste.

Going forward, Gwangju Main Customs Office plans to select and reward the Top Gwangju Customs Officer every month to boost the morale of hardworking employees and create a vibrant workplace atmosphere.
