中國의 原産地規程 改正과 問題點에 대한 硏究

Abstract

“Rules of origin” are the criteria needed to determine where a product was made. They are used to implement measures and instruments of such policy. While there is wide variation in the practice of governments with regard to the rules of origin, the complexity of different discriminatory measures depending on the origin of goods in practice has had restricting effects on international trade for a long time. As the trade volume between Korea and China is increasing continuously, Korea needs to pay attention to the practice of China regarding the rules of origin. China’s disputable and deficient commercial policy instrument about the rules of origin, fortunately, has implemented and enforced since the beginning of 2005. In the past, China’s regulation was in question of its equitability in practice because there were double standards between imported goods and exported goods. China’s new regulation enforces single standard for both of imported and exported goods. However, the concreteness and transparency of the policy are still questionable due to the unclear provisions and insufficient regulation. And it still has room in practice for the discretion of China’s government.
