South Korean government sets up unified support headquarters for tariff measures, with US-China friction in mind

On the 17th, the South Korean government announced that it would reorganize the "One-Stop Export and Order Support Group" into the "One-Stop Tariff Response Support Headquarters" in response to the global tariff war.
The ministry will consolidate the customs duties that have been handled separately by each relevant agency and strengthen the support system for export companies.
The decision was made by the Domestic Response Task Force (TF). The Support Headquarters will provide comprehensive support from handling complaints from companies regarding tariffs to financial and policy cooperation.
The company will operate with four teams: Bio, Finance and Supply Chain, and Agriculture and Fisheries. It will strengthen cooperation with export-related organizations and private organizations and constantly monitor the progress of problem-solving on the ground.
If improvements to the system are necessary, the government plans to work with each working group of the Pan-Government Domestic Response Task Force to address the issue.
The two sides agreed that there is still uncertainty regarding the rate and timing of tariffs on South Korea's products. Regarding the impact of the U.S. tariffs on South Korea's exports in general and on major industries such as steel, automobiles, and semiconductors,
The TF will review and discuss the matter, and will update its analysis of the impact of future tariff policy changes as necessary. The Korean government will coordinate the results of the TF discussions with ministerial-level meetings, including the newly established Ministers' Meeting on Economic and Security Policy.
The aim is to have Japan step up its efforts to respond quickly to the tariff war.
