The WCO Time Release Study (TRS) is a unique tool and method for measuring the actual performance of Customs activities. The ultimate aim of TRS is to improve the performance of the function being measured. To be more specific, TRS is used for identifying bottlenecks in the international supply chain and/or constraints affecting Customs release, assessing newly introduced and modified techniques, procedures, technologies and infrastructure, or administrative changes, establishing baseline trade facilitation performance measurement, identifying opportunities for trade facilitation improvements and estimating the country's approximate comparative position as a benchmark tool. The effective utilization methods of TRS for trade facilitation in Korea Customs Services are as follows ; Firstly, it is necessary to make every efforts to identify bottlenecks in border-related procedures and improve their procedures for continuous and more improved trade facilitation. Secondly, it is necessary to optimize and simplify export-related procedures using the TRS in exportation for efficiency of total international supply chain. Thirdly, it is necessary to make coordinated border management with main trading partners. Lastly, it is necessary to enhance Korea's international status to support underdeveloped countries in the field of trade procedures.

The cross-border trade(CBT) market has grown significantly due to the global spread of the Internet and mobile. China has become a very important market because of its share of 78% in 2016 in the export of korea's CBT. To sum up this phenomenon, First, the forms of distribution and trade, in which the O2O method is utilized, are settled. Next, it is necessary to develop a new strategy to expand the stagnant export of Korea. In particular, it is time to look for an effective export expansion strategy to expand market share in the fast-growing Chinese market. For this purpose, this study proposed a strategy for efficient use of logistics as a countermeasure against China's CBT laws and regulations and development of CBT exports to China to develop effective export strategies.

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.

This study reviews the industrialization process of the United States-Mexico Borderlands and the economic relations between the U.S. and Mexico and examines their impact on the borderlands. Main factor in the industrialization of the borderlands was the U.S. investment on the maquiladora program of Mexico since 1965. It contributed to the increase in employment and population of borderlands and the development of service industries. Low wage level of Mexico induced not only standardized labor-intensive industries but also the high-tech automated industries because they still use a lot of labor in manufacturing and assembly process, while the functions of management. R & D, and distribution remained in the U.S. This is a typical case of international division of labor and satellite industrial district. The rules of origin in NAFTA, however forced branch Plants of multinational companies to form the local linkages between firms.

관세는 국가가 조세법률주의의 원칙에 따라 법률에 의하여 국가재정의 수입 또는 국내산업의 보호를 목적으로 수입물품에 대하여 부과하는 조세이다. 관세의 전제가 되는 관세선(custom line)은 관세에 관한 법률규제가 이루어지는 경계로서, 정치적 경계인 국경선(national frontier)과 일치하는 것이 일반적이지만 반드시 일치하는 것은 아니다. 정치적으로는 자국의 영역이라도 관세제도상으로는 타국의 영역과 동일하게 다루어지는 자유무역지역, 그와 반대로 정치적으로는 타국의 영역일지라도 관세제도상으로는 자국의 영역과 다름없는 보세구역이나 관세동맹국 등이 있기 때문이다.

With the spread of digital trade, the share of digital trade under the global trade environment is increasing. However, since there is no international digital trade standard, the discussion to establish a new trade rule has important significance. Countries around the world are implementing digital trade policies in consideration of their own interests, but different regulatory policies are causing trade conflicts. In order to provide safeguards against personal information infringement due to the free movement of data across borders, major countries around the world have taken measures to localize data, and the EU has enacted GDPR. And the United States regards the imposition of the digital tax as a trade barrier, and some countries oppose the implementation of the digital tax for fear of negative impact on their countries. However, discussions on the global digital tax, centered on the OECD and the G20 are making progress. As it is highly likely that a digital tax agreement will be drawn up within this year, countermeasures must also be prepared. Therefore, this study presents implications for the future direction of Korea's trade policy by examining recent trends in digital trade norms and analyzing major issues in digital trade.

This paper's main objective is to present an assessment of the impact of NAFTA on the economic structure of the Mexican northem borderlands. The NAFTA is the strategy of a free trade agreement with the United States and Canada, first mentioned by Salinas in June 1990 and established since January 1994. Mexican govemment permitted factories called maquiladoras at the northem borderlands for the first time in 1965. in the early 1980s Mexico was in a deep economic crisis and the international environment was adverse to Mexico. Mexico began to move toward an open economy and abandoned the import-substitution industrialization model that characterized Mexico since the 1930s. Through the new economic reform, the market system was preferred to the regulation; the private ownership, to the public ownership; and the competition, to the protection. The most phenomenal urbanization in northem Mexico has occurred around the major crossing points along the Mexico-U.S. border. The rapid urbanization in northern Mexico has been much due to the industrialization, brought about bv the maquiladora programs and, recently, by the NAFTA.

유통업도 이제는 제조업과 마찬가지로 국경의 개념이 허물어지고 있다. 무역자유화와 더불어 유통업에 대한 외국인 투자가 자유화되면서 유통기업들도 해외에 진출하여 영업 반경을 넓히고 있다. 우리 나라도 지난 '96년 유통업에 대한 외국인 투자가 자유화되었으며, 이에 따라 까르푸, 마크로, 막스 앤 스펜서와 같은 유럽계 유통업체들이 진출하여 점포를 운영하고 있다. (중략)

The subject of this research is the small-scale trade between South Korea and China (this trade is a so-called shuttle trade.) This research attempts to find the background to the emergence of the Sino-South Korean (cross-border) small-scale trade and the role of travel routes between the two countries. This research also aims to identify the development process of the bilateral small-scale trade by studying the scale of the small-scale trade and the organization of small-scale traders. Moreover, this research tries to discover the spatial characteristics of the interregional small-scale trade by reviewing the characteristics of traded goods; process of export and import and nodes of small-scale trade. To accomplish aforementioned purposes, the author discussed the relations between small-scale traders and maritime companies. The author also studied the internal change in the small-scale trade by focusing on the reinforcement of the regulation against the small-scale trade. Lastly, the author cited the case of the Soviet Union and middle-eastern Europe, which tremendously expanded the small-scale trades in the 1980s, in order to explain the growth of the Sino-South Korean small-scale trade.
