The proposed regulations expand ADCD actions to include a wide range of labor, human rights, environmental and intellectual property standards. Commerce’s new regulations make the failure to rigorously enforce national public policy standards directly and indirectly remediable by trade remedy laws by treating unenforced regulations as a subsidy. Antidumping regulations are similarly modified to increase production costs where public policy regulations are deemed weak or ineffective, thereby increasing antidumping duties. Commerce also proposes to eliminate the longtime transnational subsidies regulation which held that a subsidy did not exist if the program or project was funded by a government outside of the country where the recipient was located. A transnational subsidy is financial assistance or support provided by one country to producer in another country. This modification would make transnational subsidies an actionable subsidy under the trade remedy laws. antidumping, countervailing, anti-subsidy, trade remedy laws, labor, human rights, environmental, intellectual property standards, public policy standards, subsidy, production costs, transnational subsidies, financial assistance","PeriodicalId":12728,"journal":{"name":"Global Trade and Customs Journal","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135762569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The rapid advancement of technology and the digital revolution have significantly transformed the way businesses engage in international trade, leading to increased efficiency, streamlined processes, and enhanced global connectivity. However, these advancements also bring forth new complexities, such as cybersecurity risks, data privacy concerns, and regulatory compliance issues. We examine the key areas where investment in digital technologies can drive innovation, efficiency, and competitiveness in global trade and customs. It discusses the potential benefits of implementing technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud computing in areas like supply chain management, customs compliance, trade finance, and risk management. The paper also explores case studies and real-world examples of successful digital transformation initiatives in the global trade and customs domain. The study emphasizes the importance of strategic investment in digital technologies as a means to unlock the full potential of global trade and customs. It provides insights and recommendations for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and investors on navigating the evolving landscape, seizing opportunities, and mitigating risks associated with digitalization in the realm of international trade and customs.

Many companies have introduced RPA systems into their daily operations, which has had a significant positive impact on costs, process accuracy, reliability, and error minimization. RPA systems are more effective for companies with many standardized and repetitive business processes. The process of international import and export must go through customs procedures according to the customs laws of each country, and in this process, a lot of paperwork and computer input are required. Since import and export customs procedures are standardized and repetitive, positive effects such as maximization of work efficiency and improvement in import and export processing speed are expected when RPA is introduced into import and export customs clearance. In this study, interviews were conducted with trading companies and Korean customs brokers who have introduced or are planning to introduce the RPA system in order to analyse the effects that can be obtained by introducing the RPA system in import and export customs procedures. As a result of the study, implications such as the disadvantages of optical character recognition (OCR) and high initial development and operating costs were suggested. import, export, customs clearance, robotics process automation, customs attorney, optical character recognition, RPA","PeriodicalId":12728,"journal":{"name":"Global Trade and Customs Journal","volume":"135 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135762001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The FSR aims to level the playing field for all companies active within the EU and to close a regulatory gap left by existing frameworks (such as the EU’s State aid and merger control regimes or trade defense instruments). This article provides a comprehensive overview of the FSR and the accompanying Implementing Regulation and reflects upon their practical implications for companies engaging in economic activity in EU markets. Has a simple idea (i.e., extending the controls already applicable to government support by EU Member States also to support by non-EU governments) morphed into a bureaucratic monster burdening companies with needless red tape? Will the FSR achieve its goals effectively or will it put too much strain on the European Commission’s resources? Is the FSR about fair competition or is it simply protectionist?

They contribute to enhancing the goods’ value, thereby generating profits for entrepreneurs and countries. Vietnam, a country with many agricultural and regional products, has been actively integrating with the world, typically by becoming a member of the WTO (World Trade Organization (Member List at, https://www.wto.org/english/thewto_e/whatis_e/tif_ e/org6_e.htm (accessed 04 May 2023))) and participating in agreements such as the European Union-Vietnam The Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) (European Union-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement), https://taxation-customs.ec.europa.eu/system/files/2022-11/ EVFTA-guidance_0.pdf (accessed 04 May 2023) and the TRIPs (Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, https://www.wto.org/english/docs_e/legal_e/27-trips.pdf (accessed 04 May 2023)). To align its legal framework with international standards, Vietnam has amended and supplemented to its Intellectual Property (IP) Law of 2005 in 2009, 2019, and 2022, introducing new regulations on GIs. These changes have had a significant impact on the protection of GIs in Vietnam. With this in mind, we analyse the current GI protection provisions in Vietnam’s IP laws and assess their compatibility with the requirements in international agreements. We will also explore the influence of the GI protection provisions on the actual registration and utilization of GIs in Vietnam. Based on our findings, we have prepared recommendations to improve Vietnam’s regulations on GI protection and enhance the practical effectiveness of those GI protection measures.
