Suwon City Supports 'Export Simplification' for Startups and Small Manufacturing Companies

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Suwon City in Gyeonggi Province is launching an export simplification support project for startups and small manufacturing companies.

The export simplification support project involves the Postal Service taking over the export process, which was previously conducted by exporters contracting separately with transportation companies for product shipment and customs corporations for customs clearance.

Until now, exporters followed a typical five-step export transportation procedure: inland transportation of the product, customs clearance, sea or air transport to the importing country, customs clearance there, and inland transportation within the importing country.

However, under the simplification support project, the Postal Service handles the entire process and delivers directly via international express mail service.

Suwon City supports participating companies with 2.5 million KRW per company for international express mail transportation costs, allowing shipment of products weighing up to 200 kg per shipment.

Companies wishing to participate can download the application form from the Suwon City website, complete it, and submit it along with the export contract, information usage consent form, and a copy of the business registration certificate.

The city will recruit participating companies until November.

A city official stated, "We hope this project will streamline export procedures and reduce costs for startups and small manufacturing companies, thereby strengthening their export competitiveness."
