A Study on the Coordinated Border Management for effective International Cargo Management

Trade volumes and border security concerns have been increasing consistently. Under this circumstances, Coordinated Border Management(CBM) is needed for effective international cargo management. The purpose of CBM is to facilitate trade and to secure borders at the same time. It is necessary to implement several measures for effective CBM in Korea. Firstly, Customs need to cooperate with Animal and plant quarantine agency in order to inspect trade cargoes at same time and same place. Secondly, the Border Sector Governance Group, which consists of Customs services, Animal and plant quarantine agency, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, Korea Coast Guard, and Ministry of Justice, has to establish in order to cooperate and adjust border management works effectively. Thirdly, Customs Services needs to conclude more practical mutual administrative assistance agreements with main trade partners for enhancing border control.
