(individual laws and regulations) for the goods manufactured, sold and imported to Korea for the safety of domestic consumers,
and for environmental preservation.
A list of items that the head of Korea Customs Service
announces considering the characteristics and
clearance environment of each item in accordance
with individual Acts to determine whether the item
needs Customs Verification of Clearance
Requirements. If the item, at the time
of importation/exportation, does not satisfy the legal
requirements as such, it cannot be cleared in customs.
A list of items announced by the head of Ministry
of Trade, Industry, and Energy, by integrating matters
concerning import and export requirements and pro-
cedures for such items prescribed in the individual
Acts, in order to check import and export require-
ments, to simplify the customs clearance work and to
manage trade order. If the item is not included in the
items subject to Customs Verification of Clearance
Requirements, it is not sanctioned upon customs
clearance, but is designated to carry out the require-
ments verification procedure specified in the individual
statutes.
SEIN aims to meet both requirements of Customs Verification of Clearance,
and of the Individual Statutes.
