Korea Customs Service, full-fledged operation of ‘trade my data transmission and management online platform service’ from the 14th

In the future, trading companies will be able to transmit their export and import data (Trade My Data) to banks and public institutions in one minute, greatly simplifying the application process for trade finance and export support projects.

The Korea Customs Service announced on the 13th that it will operate an online platform service that allows trading companies to easily transmit and manage their own trade data to banks and public institutions from the 14th.

This is one of the implementation tasks of the ‘Digital Customs Regulatory Innovation Plan’ announced at the 3rd Regulatory Innovation Strategy Meeting presided over by the Prime Minister on March 2, and is promoted to simplify the application process for trade finance and export support projects for small and medium-sized exporters. done.

Previously, in order for companies to apply for trade finance or participate in other support projects, they had to receive their import and export records from the Korea Customs Service and submit them to banks or public institutions in the form of paper documents.

However, with the launch of this platform service, import and export performance can be easily viewed and transmitted electronically within a minute.

In particular, small and medium-sized e-commerce (B2C) exporters, who had virtually given up on trade finance applications due to the nature of small and multiple exports, incurred excessive administrative costs, providing an opportunity to utilize trade finance.

Looking at the process of using this platform service, first select a desired financial institution through the Banktras platform and electronically transmit its import and export data.

Currently, only IBK Industrial Bank of Korea is available as a financial institution, and other banks are scheduled to introduce it sequentially in the future.

Then, if you want to participate in the corporate support project of 6 public institutions such as SMEs and KOTRA, you agree to provide data on the ‘Trade My Data Platform’ and electronically transmit your import and export data to the relevant public institution.

“The Korea Customs Service plans to continue supporting the digitization of trade business by expanding the number of financial institutions and public institutions subject to service and providing customized data analysis services,” said Yoo Yeong-han, information and data policy officer at the Korea Customs Service.

The Ministry of SMEs and Startups announced on the 29th that it will recruit participating companies through the website of the comprehensive management system for the small and medium-sized business manpower support project for about a month from the 30th to designate this year’s ‘Human Resource Development SME Project’.

The talent development type small and medium-sized business is a project to develop exemplary companies in which companies and workers grow together by increasing corporate productivity and profitability through talent development and rewarding workers for the performance. evaluate and select

For the applicant companies, the working environment such as investment in education and training, wage level and employment stability, and ability to create profits are evaluated in writing and on-site. Designated companies are selected through expert deliberation among companies that have obtained 70 points or more out of 100 points.

This year, about 280 places will be selected, and additional points will be given to companies that install and operate daycare centers at work, and preferential treatment will be given to companies that invest in creating a work-life balance culture. Additional points are given to excellent manpower nurturing companies with industry-university cooperation mileage by operating field training for college students. Among the evaluation indicators, the average length of service was improved from the size of the number of employees to the standard of each business history so that new start-ups are not at a disadvantage.

Selected companies receive preferential treatment in support projects of the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, such as technology development and additional points when applying for new military service designation companies.

Hyundai Motor Company and Kia announced on the 23rd that they have developed the first stepless swing & sliding door technology that can efficiently use the loading space of chassis-cab vehicles.

This technology, independently developed by Hyundai Motors and Kia, is designed to open and close the door on the side of the chassis cap loading box in both swing and sliding ways, so users can load and unload items in a convenient way according to their needs.

Currently, most of the side doors of the loading box of small trucks available on the market are provided only by pushing on both sides, so the rear door had to be used to unload objects of a certain size.

In addition, the side door is structurally moved to the inside of the loading space due to the front and rear steps, resulting in a loss of internal space as much as the thickness of the door. ‘Step-less swing & sliding door technology’ focuses on maximizing customer convenience by overcoming these limitations.

It has the advantage of being able to open the two side doors by sliding or swinging as needed, so that you can use the swing door when loading or unloading large items while using the sliding door.

In particular, the sliding method minimizes the loss of internal space by applying a mechanism in which the door that opens like the side door of the Kia Carnival moves to the outside of the fixed door. In addition, thanks to the application of flat front and rear doors without steps, watertightness has also been greatly improved.

Hyundai Motors and Kia applied hinges for swing function and guide rails for sliding function to the side of the loading box at the same time to realize this technology.

When the swing handle is raised, the fastening between the guide rail and the door is released, allowing the door to be opened and closed. When the sliding handle is pulled while the swing handle is level, the fastened part of the swing hinge is released and the door opens along the guide rail. way.

If ‘stepless swing & sliding door technology’ is commercialized, it will not only greatly improve the convenience of drivers operating logistics delivery vehicles, but it can also be used in various ways such as Purpose Built Vehicles (PBVs) to be released in the future. It is expected that there will be

An official from Hyundai Motors and Kia said, “The chassis cap loading box door opening and closing technology unveiled this time is a next-generation technology that will enable more convenient delivery services by reflecting the opinions and demands of logistics delivery drivers.” We will do our best to provide better value to our customers.”

On the other hand, Hyundai Motor Company and Kia recently completed patent applications for ‘stepless swing and sliding door technology’, and plan to review mass production after durability and performance tests.
