Chinese company secretly sold 74 billion won worth of products labeled 'Made in Korea' for export to the United States

Chinese companies that found it difficult to export to the United States due to tariffs or regulations disguised their products as Korean-made and sold them in the U.S., but were caught. Since the U.S. can raise issues about this, customs authorities have decided to form a special investigation team to strengthen crackdowns.

To avoid the anti-dumping tariffs of up to 1,731% imposed by the United States on Chinese-made mattresses,

After a Chinese company imported Chinese-made mattresses into a Korean bonded warehouse, certificates of origin and other documents were issued in the names of 22 domestic companies.

It was falsely fabricated and re-exported to the United States.

 

The company officially reported the mattress's country of origin as China to our country's customs, but

They submitted forged documents in the United States, similar to those produced and exported from Korea.

 

In this way, Chinese-made mattresses exported to the United States through indirect channels amount to 1.2 million units and 74 billion won worth in the past year.

After importing Chinese secondary battery cathode materials domestically, only change the packaging to Korean-made, or

Companies that imported Chinese CCTV parts into Korea, assembled them, disguised them as domestic products, and exported them to the United States have also been caught.

 

The scale of detection for products that were disguised as Korean-made and rerouted for export to the United States up to March this year is 28.5 billion won.

It has exceeded the annual detection amount from last year.

 

The United States imposing a 145% tariff on China may lead to an increase in indirect exports passing through Korea.

The Customs Service has formed a Special Trade Security Investigation Team to focus on cracking down on indirect exports aimed at exploiting differences in mutual tariff rates between countries.

The trade war is one thing, but Chinese companies are trying to exploit our country in this way.

Selling products that damage reputation as if they were produced in our country harms our national image.

It would only tarnish my reputation... I hope they conduct a thorough crackdown and confiscate all those products.
