A Study on Some Problems and Improvement Plan of the Rules of Origin in Korea’s FTA

This study have examined the descriptive and legal approaches to the comparison and analysis of major content of FTA rules of origin. The author suggest the problems caused by the comparison and analysis of previously made FTA rules of origin by agreement and the countermeasures as followings; First, the rigorousness of the rules of origin motivates to impose more expense on exporters and producers to compensate for the rigorousness. Second, with regard to the procedural complexity of determining the origin of items, the author examined previous FTAs. Finally, the absence of universal rules of origin in relation to FTA leads to alternatively the compliance to domestic regulation of each country, and the resulting distinctive rules of origin in each country might work as a substantial trading barrier itself. Therefore, the problems of using different rules of origin under the FTA are resolved form adopting unification or standardization of rules of origin.
