Gwangju Main Customs Selects “Outstanding Gwangju Customs Officer of June”

[Asia Economy Honam Newsroom, reporter Park Jinhyung] On July 4, Gwangju Main Customs announced that it had selected and awarded Kim Sangho, a customs administration official at Gwangju Customs, as the “Outstanding Gwangju Customs Officer of June” for his contribution to establishing fair trade practices through country of origin labeling enforcement.

Kim Sangho, who was selected as the Outstanding Gwangju Customs Officer of June, analyzed the import records of a projection screen company and uncovered a case where a company supplied approximately 4.6 billion KRW worth of Vietnamese-made projection screens to schools and other public institutions by falsely claiming them as domestically produced.

In addition, he detected five companies that manufactured projection screens using Chinese fabric but falsely listed the origin of the fabric as domestic, instead of China, in public procurement contract specifications. He referred these companies to the Fair Trade Commission and other relevant agencies for investigation.

On the same day, customs administration officials Han Sunghyun and Lee Hanna, who achieved outstanding results in their respective fields, were also recognized and awarded for their contributions.

In the “Logistics and Surveillance” sector, Han Sunghyun was recognized for identifying a company that illegally unloaded 72 tons of waste oil intended for ship trial runs, based on information analysis. In the “Customs Clearance and Inspection” sector, Lee Hanna was commended for installing CCTV inside agricultural bonded warehouses located in remote areas, thereby contributing to the establishment of an efficient cargo monitoring system.

Gwangju Main Customs plans to select and reward an “Outstanding Gwangju Customs Officer” every month to boost employee morale and foster a vibrant workplace atmosphere.
