Korea's FTA e-commerce regulations are evolving into a standardized norm. However, "location of computing facilities", which was not covered by Korea's existing FTA, was newly established in Korea's first Mega FTA, RCEP. China, a member of RCEP, restricts data movement and requires data localization through its Cybersecurity law. These facts have led to start this study with interest in data-related regulations. It examined country-specific and regulatory characteristics in the process of forming digital trade norms, using the TAPED established by Burri et al. (2020). It also analyzed the current status of introducing norms related to 'data flow', 'data localization' and 'data protection' of the EU, USA and China, which are leading the formation of e-commerce trade norms. Finally, the legal review was conducted to compare the exact meaning of the wording expressed in each agreement for the six recently enacted Mega FTAs and Digital Economic Agreements. These findings are meaningful in that they provided implications for the effectiveness of RCEP and the direction of negotiations on Korea's digital trade norms.

본 논문에서는 일반적인 전자상거래 비즈니스 모델을 준용하여 "글로벌 B2B 전자상거래"로서의 사이버무역(Cyber Trade) 내지 전자무역(e-Trade)의 비즈니스 모델에 대한 개념, 유행 및 사례 등을 살펴보고 향후의 발전방향을 검토하였다. 특히 무역거래알선 사이트로 대표될 수 있는 무역 부문의 국내 e-마켓플레이스에 대한 심층적인 사례분석을 통해 고객 중심의 바람직한 사이버무역의 비즈니스 모델은 계약 이전은 물론 계약 이후의 모든 무역업무 처리에 필요한 각종 정보와 서류가 전자적으로 교환이 가능한 이른바 "단절없고 전 무역과정이 유통되는 네트워크(Seamless & Fully Circulated Network)"의 구축을 지향하고 있다는 점을 지적하고 있다. 이와 관련하여 인터넷과 EDI의 통합, 온라인과 오프라인의 통합, 국내와 외국과의 네트워크 통합 등이 매우 중요함을 강조하고 있다.

Free trade agreements have fast grown into a global phenomenon and their impact and repercussions are felt more strongly everyday. Korea, joining this large trend of the global economy, is currently pressing ahead with its negotiation rounds for FTA. In this paper, we focus on the e-commerce sector affected by the Korea-Singapore FTA, and the main issues and the future countermeasure directions of e-commerce on FTA has been analyzed. In conclusion, FTA is not an option even though there are still many remaining issues to be discussed regarding its effects. We identified countries excluding themselves from FTA are losing international competitiveness, and moreover, the losing competitiveness will end up more serious problems since the importance of FTA is especially high for e-commerce, as e-commerce accounts for a growing share of international trade. This paper also discusses the far-reaching potential consequences of the content of an international agreement at a government-to-government level on the economy and industry of a country by presenting past examples from. Korea, and recommends that policy-makers should exercise extreme vigilance in their negotiation of terms and conditions for FTA.

본 연구는 최근 정체기에 접어들었다고 볼 수 있는 전자무역 연구에 조금이라도 도움이 되기 위해 기획되고 연구되었다. 무엇보다 본 연구의 배경은 외국에서의 전자무역에 관한 선행문헌과 국내에서의 전자무역에 관한 선행문헌이 서로 다르다는 것에서 출발한다. 외국에서의 전자무역 연구 동향은 주로 통관 업무에 국한되어 연구가 진행되는 경우가 많았지만 국내에서의 전자무역 연구 동향은 주로 대금결제와 선하증권의 전자화 등 대금결제의 전자화 및 전자신용장의 구축을 중심으로 이루어져 왔다. 이와 같은 차이점이 실제 전자무역 구축에도 그대로 이어져 외국에서의 전자무역 구축 동향과 국내에서의 전자무역 구축 동향이 서로 다소 다르게 이루어졌다. 미국을 중심으로 한 선진국에서는 통관 및 물류 영역을 중심으로 전자무역이 구축되었고 우리나라에서는 통관 영역의 전자화도 이루어졌지만 신용장을 포함한 결제 영역에서도 전자화도 구축되었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 최근에 논의되고 있는 글로벌 전자무역 동향을 비교적 심도 있게 분석하였으며 한국의 전자무역 추진의 핵심 당사자인 한국무역정보통신과 관세청이 구현한 우리나라 전자무역 현황을 알아보고 검토하였다. 이를 바탕으로 한국 전자무역 추진상의 여러 문제점을 도출하였고 이에 대한 해결방안을 제시하였다. 논의 결과, 우리나라 전자무역 구축은 향후 전자신용장 등 대금결제의 전자화 보다는 통관, 물류 영역의 전자화가 더욱 필요하다고 분석되었다.

This study aims to identify the determinants on the implementation level of e-Trade of Chinese exporters in Shandong Province, China. From the review of previous studies, a research model and six hypotheses were set up and tested by the multiple regression analysis with total 127 effective survey data. Among the company characteristics, the company size was statistically significant to the utilization range and the utilization level. But unlike former studies in Korea, the utilization range showed the (-) mark. On the other hand, the innovative attitude of CEO didn't show statistical significance to both the utilization range and the utilization level. Among the information characteristics, the IT infrastructure was not statistically significant to both the utilization range and the utilization level. On the other hand, the education and training of technical personnel didn't have a significant effect on the utilization range, but it had a statistically significant effect on the utilization level. Among the external environment, the intensity of competition had a statistically significant effect on both the utilization range and the utilization level. In summary, the implementation level of e-Trade of Chinese exporters in Shandong Province, China is still behind that of Korea. But the fact that the small and medium-sized Chinese exporters are using Internet more actively than large companies suggests some implications for those of Korea.

Purpose - There is a paucity of literature dealing with exporters' compliance issues in e-commerce exports. This study aims to fill this gap in the literature by exploring customs initiatives to facilitate the e-commerce exports of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the changed compliance environment. The central question of this study was divided into five subquestions: first regarding the pros and cons of trade facilitation measures for Korean e-commerce export clearance; second and third questions about risk and compliance management for facilitation fourth about instruments, the changes in Korean SME compliance burden in e-commerce exports, and ways to improve trade facilitation for e-commerce exports. Design/methodology - This study adopts a qualitative approach using a case study method to understand the SME experience in Korean e-commerce export compliance procedures. A qualitative method was selected to answer research questions requiring an in-depth understanding of the regulatory procedures of customs administration and exporters' compliance burden. Because this study addresses the changing compliance environment for which statistical data is insufficient, a quantitative method is considered inappropriate. Based on the approach, data were collected using multiple sources, including an extensive literature review, interviews, and field observations. Thematic pattern matching was applied to interpret the data. Findings - This study examined ways to support SMEs in the changed e-commerce export compliance environment. Facilitation measures for e-commerce exports have contributed to SME access to global markets, simplifying export clearance procedures, and saving exporters' compliance costs. However, such instruments are limited in promoting SME compliance capabilities to cope with intensified competition and strengthened controls over foreign exporters in cross-border e-commerce. Therefore, this study highlights the importance of reshaping facilitation measures for e-commerce exports based on risk and compliance management theories to a system encouraging exporters' voluntary compliance. Originality/value - This study's academic significance derives from verifying the relationship between trade facilitation instruments and risk and compliance management procedures using an actual case in Korea. It is also of practical importance in navigating the directions for improving facilitation measures for e-commerce exports in a changed compliance environment.

SWIFT has designed Trade Services Utility(TSU) to meet the new paradigm of electronic trade. The Trade Services Utility is a matching and workflow application that sits on the SWIFT network. The TSU is designed to help banks offer advanced supply chain services to their corporate customers who are involved in open account trading. Nowadays, the Bank payment obligation(BPO) can optionally be included in a baseline by mutual consent. The BPO is an irrevocable and conditional obligation of an obligor bank(buyers bank) to pay a specified amount to seller's bank according to an established baseline of a single TSU transaction. Therefore, SWIFT enables its customers to automate and standardise financial transactions, thereby lowering costs, reducing operational risk and eliminating inefficiencies from their operations. Whereas, Banks can use the core functionality of the Trade Services Utility to offer competitive services that complement existing services. But SWIFT need to come up with the measures of activating the TSU BPO. So, this paper is to introduce TSU BPO and check the measures for the activation of the TSU BPO under the electronic trade environment.
