As an increasing number of the FTA, there have also been increasing interests in FTA utilization. It is critical to understand and implement the rules of origin for FTA utilization appropriately. However, due to the spaghetti bowl effect, the restrictiveness index, which is a measure of the degree of difficulty of meeting Product-Specific Rule(PSR) of origin, gets increased. Furthermore, there is a distortion in the method of calculating the correct restrictiveness index. Therefore, we implemented an enhanced method in a context of fishery product to correctly measure the restrictiveness index of Product Specific Rules (PSR) among the rules of origin.
