Korea adopted feed-in-tariff system for diffusing the generation using renewable energies in 2002. But, there are many debatable issues about Korea's feed-in-tariff system, such as application duration and tariff level by the renewable energies. This paper surveys problems and issues which has been discussed for two years.

This study is to review the Joseon government's attempt to recover the tariff autonomy lost in the course of entering into the unequal treaty with then-Japan government, as well as the practical effort to realize such an attempt. Among other attempts, the Joseon government ① began imposing tariffs starting September 1878 by establishing Dumopo Customs Office in Busan, ② dispatched on April 1881 a group of investigators to the competent authorities to review and look back the Joseon's tariff system against Japan and ③ entered into a tariff negotiation with then-Japan government on September 1881 with the emissary (Susinsa) Byeong-ho Jo representing the Joseon government. A series of these attempts, in line with each other, represents the Joseon government's ceaseless, constant effort to recover the tariff autonomy, which is what this study intends to review from the modern-day perspectives. Authored by Byeong-ho Jo to capture an advantageous position in the 1881's tariff negotiation against then-Japan government, 「Joilseui」 successfully represented the Joseon government's position on matters of ① the Japanese tax-autonomous district in Korea, ② defining tariff rates, ③ use of Japanese Yen for payment of tariffs, ④ effective period of the treaty and ⑤ export restrictions on grains. Failure of the Joseon government's attempt to recover the Tariff autonomy was attributable not only to, as 「Joilseui」 defined, ① governments' non-cooperative attitudes on the negotiation table, ② lack of authorities that the entrusted bodies had, ③ import tariffs defined high and ④ export restrictions on grains and red ginseng, but also to loss of the tariff autonomy in 1876 and the 1881's negotiation broken down that were plotted by then-Japan government's invasive policy.

Korea adopted feed-in-tariff system to disseminate the renewable energy generation in 2002, and amended twice this system in October 2003 and October 2004. It is weil known that feed-in-tariff system have been made with noticeable results in Europe countries. In Korea, however, there are many debatable issues about Korea's feed-in-tariff system, such as tariff level, operational period(the term of guarantee). assessment techniques This paper surveys and re-considers several problems and issues which have been discussed during the last two years.

The pilotage tariff system in port operations has received little attention in the academic literature. While studies addressing legal issues-such those concerning liability, marine accidents, and compensation for accidents-and institutional aspects have been prevalent, scant research has been conducted in the form of comparative analysis of pilotage tariff systems and current levels of pilotage charges in major ports. The purpose of this research is to investigate the rate structure of pilotage tariffs of major ports. Specifically, this study explores the current level of pilotage price and regulations by comparing the pilotage systems of six major hub ports in the world: Busan, Kobe, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Singapore and Rotterdam. Results show that Busan Port's pilotage tariff system ranks low (5th) among these six ports. Another finding is that the simplification of Korea's pilotage tariff system will yield productivity and efficiency improvements in this area.

In Korea-U.S.A. FTA Negotiation, U.S.A. request to eliminate barriers of tariffs and non-tariff in trade of cosmetics. Korea applies tariffs of 8% on most cosmetics and personal care products. There are some non-tariffs barriers in cosmetics trade between Korea and U.S.A., for example, transparency on restriction and regulatory, cosmeceuticals, import clearance review, quality control testing, ingredient labelling. Tariffs of 8% on most cosmetics should be eliminated, a proviso of complementary measures on sanitation of Korean people about imported cosmetics. This is a meaning of reformation of prior management(tariffs) by strong ex post management in cosmetics trade. It is important that Korea should construct system of ex post management, for instance, construction of data base on manufacturer, importer, bland name of cosmetics and all ingredients of cosmetics. This is concerned with labelling of cosmetics and cosmeceutical and publication of Korean edition of INCI(International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredient).

Korea is implementing strong regulatory derives such as Feed in Tariff to provide incentives for renewable energy developers. But if the government is planning to increase the renewable capacity with only "Price policy" not considering the investors behavior in the competitive electricity market, the policy would be failed. It is necessary system thinking and simulation model analysis to decide government's incentive goal. This study is focusing on the assesment of the competitiveness of renewable energy with the current Feed in Tariff incentives compared to the traditional energy source, specially coal and gas. The simulation results show that the market penetration of renewable energy with the current Feed-in-Tariff level is about 60-70% of the government goal under condition that the solar energy and fuel cell are assumed to provide the whole capacity set in the governmental goal. If the contribution from solar and fuel cell is lower than planned, the total penetration of renewable energy will be dropped more. Notably, Wind power turned out to be proved only 10% of government goal because of its low availability.

The basic purpose of Customs Drawback System of the material for export goods is export support as cut a price down the export goods' price. Especially the trade volume between South Korea and China is the greatest in comparison with other countries in 2010. Therefore companies involved China is necessary to understand exactly for China's tariff system(duty drawback system). Due to inconsistent policies, it is difficult to understand VAT-related provisions on exports goods of China compared with South Korea Tax System. Accordingly, the results of this study is significant in China-related companies. In South Korea and China, amount of customs duty drawback is very large 4.017606 billion won 732.8 billion yuan respectively. Thus, the amount of customs duty drawback is greater, a comparison of customs duty drawback in South Korea and China is very necessary on Customs Drawback System.

Since 2001, Korea government has been purchasing the generation from renewable generation facilities with the higher incentive prices than market price in order to increase the penetration of renewable energies. Generally, the incentive purchase tariff is calculated on the base of the generation cost of renewable power facilities. This paper constructs the input data for economic analysis and evaluates the generation cost of PV, wind power, LFG and small hydro power using LCCA model.

Origin verification is regarded most essential for FTA performance administration. This administration is divided into direct and indirect system where Korea has adapted indirect system to Korea-EU FTA while direct system to Korea-USA FTA. A comparative analysis was conducted on the system of origin verification and provisions contained in preferential tariff law of each countries. The study finds that Korean origin verification system is a bit lack of procedural provision resulting in less protection of domestic trader's rights. Another point is that Korean Customs Authority is weak, in respect of organization and man power, to protect illegal bilateral tariff application by counter part FTA countries. And therefore this study suggests the policy makers to arrange detailed FTA origin verification procedures with earliest meeting with counter part FTA countries, and further stress that make up of organization and man power for origin verification in a timely manner.
