As to 'E-Commerce Trade' or 'The Cross Border E-Commerce (CBEC)' which has shown rapid diffusion, Korean government is providing active support on the basis of idea that it has profound impact on increase of export. However, sporadic support propelled by various ministries and agencies are not effective and efficient at all on actual circumstances. Consequently, in order to promote consistency, effectiveness, and efficiency of supporting policy, it is desirable to clarify competent ministry and the duty of cooperation to the other ministries and agencies. For its own sake, it is necessary to amend each existing laws which scattered all over the business territory, or to legislate new enactments. Yet these methods are extremely tough to carry out, therefore, it seems that amending 'Electronic Trade Facilitation Act', which already exist and regulate 'paperless trade' would be a realistic alternative. For the diffusion of Korean CBEC especially export, in this study the author insists that amending this law to promote CBEC is the most reasonable way comparing to other ways with several reference materials.
