KKorea and ASEAN including Vietnam already signed a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) in 2006. Since then, economic cooperations such as trade and investment between Korea and Vietnam have expanded, rapidly. Therefore, the two countries began the FTA negotiations, and singed the bilateral FTA. Meanwhile, Korean SMEs are very interested in globalization. In this sense, Vietnamese markets is one of the most favorite markets which Korean SMEs want to enter by making full use of the FTA. We open up the article with Vietnam’s macroeconomic circumstances. Along with its population of approximately 100 million, Vietnam's GDP growth rates have been higher than 5% since 2012. and purchasing powers of Vietnam have increased in every year with abundant labor forces. The high economic growth rate will be continued for the time being. Vietnam as a main economic growth country of ASEAN participates actively in Mega FTA such as TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership), RCEP (East Asia Regional Economic Partnership Agreement), and EU-Vietnam FTA in order to sustain a high economic growth rate. Recently, the world's leading companies-Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, LG are expanding investment in order to utilize the advantages of Vietnam. Furthermore, the bilateral trade between Korea and Vietnam has increased sharply every year since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two in 1992. Vietnam was ranked the fourth largest export market of Korea in 2015. So, it is essential to analyze the trade structure and select ‘strategic export goods’ between Korea and Vietnam as the Korea-Vietnam FTA enters into force. This is the main purpose of this article. We use the HS Code Trade Statistics of the UN Comtrade data system. in order to select ‘strategic export goods’ for SMEs. And then, we utilize Trade Specification Index (TSI), Korea-Vietnam FTA commitments and SMEs’ export statistics as a tool of deriving some ‘strategic export goods’ for Korean SMEs. Through the analysis, we categorize two kinds of products as Korean SME’s ‘strategic export goods’ in the Korea-Vietnam FTA era. First, to maximize the effect of tariff elimination we derive the ten products such as adhesives (HS 350691), ethylene polymerization (HS 392010), paperboard boxes (HS 481920), other capacitors (HS 850780). We expect that if Korean SMEs utilize strategically these products for exporting, the SMEs should have an opportunity for entering the Vietnamese market. Second, to utilize the industry structure of Vietnam we derive the six products such as other fibrous materials (HS 392390), plastic containers (HS 392390). Theses six products are satisfied by the three specific conditions-Vietnamese specialized export goods to the world and Korean specialized export goods to the world as well Vietnam. Considering the industry and trade structure of Vietnam, we believe that it is possible for the two countries to increase the intra-industry trade between the two. It will give a chance to establish global value chains between Korea and Vietnam.

최근 베트남은 많은 인구와 적극적인 통상정책으로 세계의 주목을 받고 있다. 이미 글로벌 기업은 베트남을 중국을 대신하는 생산기지로 활용하는 추세다. 이에 한국과 베트남 양국의 경제협력도 크게 증가한바, 베트남은 한국의 제4대 수출대상국으로, 한국은 베트남의 제2대 수입대상국으로 부상했다. 또한, 한국과 베트남은 한․ASEAN FTA에도 양자간 FTA를 빠르게 진행해 이미 FTA가 발효 중이다. 이에 본 논문의 목적은 한․베트남 FTA가 발효됨에 따라 우리 중소기업의 베트남 진출 전략 품목을 도출하는 것이다. 이를 위해 UN Comtrade의 HS코드 교역통계를 활용해 ‘단계별 분류’ 실시한 후 다양한 자료에 기초해 전략품목을 선정했다. 분석결과, 전략품목은 다음과 같이 두 가지로 분류된다. 첫째, 베트남의 대세계 수입특화 품목이자 한국의 대세계 수출특화 및 대베트남 수출특화 품목이다 이들 품목은 한국의 경쟁력이 높은 품목이면서 베트남의 대세계 수입이 많은 품목으로 이들 품목에 대한 정부의 특화된 지원이 추가된다면 중소기업의 FTA 활용률을 높일 수 있다. 둘째, 한국의 대세계 수출특화이자 대베트남 수출특화 품목으로 베트남의 대세계 수출특화 품목이다. 이러한 품목은 베트남의 무역구조를 고려할 때 이들 품목에 대한 베트남 내 투자를 진행할 경우 한국과 베트남 간이 글로벌 공급사슬 형성이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
