FTA 원산지증명서 위반 사례분석: 한·중 FTA 중심으로

초록

This study aims to analyze cases of violations related to certificates of origin under the framework of the China–Korea Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and to propose practical countermeasures that enterprises can apply in trade practices. The research focuses on real cases that occurred during both import and export processes and examines four major types of violations: party requirements, product requirements, direct transportation requirements, and other origin certification requirements. The results show that many enterprises lose preferential tariff benefits or face legal and economic risks due to insufficient understanding of FTA rules of origin, inadequate document management, and deficiencies in logistics management. In particular, the accuracy of certificates of origin, the existence of substantial transformation in the production process, compliance with direct transportation rules, and the completeness of certification documents are identified as key factors affecting the application of FTA preferential treatment. Therefore, enterprises need to strengthen systematic training on FTA regulations, improve internal management systems, and maintain thorough management of origin-related documents in order to prevent tariff disputes and legal risks.
