한국의 비관세조치 현황 분석: Ntm-Hs코드 연계를 중심으로(An Analysis of Korea's Non-Tariff Measures: Focusing on Link between NTM and HS)

Korea Abstract: 본 연구는 KIEP와 UNCTAD가 공동으로 구축한 비관세조치 데이터베이스를 바탕으로 한국의 비관세조치 현황을 살펴보았다. 본 연구에서는 비관세조치가 어떠한 수입품목과 국내산업에 영향을 미치는지를 NTM과 HS코드 연계 작업을 통해 보여준다. 또한 여기서 구축된 비관세조치 데이터는 각국의 비관세조치를 일정한 틀에서 비교 가능하도록 하고 있으므로 다양한 실증분석이 가능할 뿐 아니라 동 데이터를 통해 국가간 조화롭게 할 수 있는규제들이 존재하는지를 살펴볼 수 있을 것으로 기대된다. English Abstract: This study reports a summary of non-tariff measure database of Korea built upon the MAST non-tariff classification and analyzes the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of Korea’s non-tariff measures governing ten largest imported products (HS 2-digit). Study finds that ten largest imported products are concentrated in manufactured industries and hence Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) are most identified non-tariff measures. Among them, the single most-identified non-tariff measure in Korea’s regulatory system is labeling requirements followed by product quality or performance requirement and testing requirement. A simple statistical illustration shows that the correlation between the volume of trade and the number of related measures tends to be higher than the correlation between the volume of imports and the number of related measures. Such correlations are believed to indicate that the measures and regulations stands accordingly to the size and to the extent of development of an industry, not for protectionist intentions.
