Korea’s “Foreign Trade Act” states that the goods(including technology determined by Presidential Decree) on which restriction, such as export license, is required for maintaining international peace and security as well as national security in accordance with the principles of the International Export Control Regimes, are to be referred to as “Strategic Item” and the list of such goods designated are publicly notified by the “Public Notice on Trade of Strategic Goods(hereinafter, the Public Notice)”. Information security systems, equipment and components above control parameter specified under control number 5A002.a of such list are classified as “Strategic Items”. In fact, this entry covers the majority of the information security equipment such as switch, firewall, server and network equipment. This paper studies negative classification cases of items that meet the control threshold of the list on the Public Notice but nonetheless excluded by the de-control notes available for certain items such as those sold in mass market or those with encryption technology exclusively for authentication. The date of classification results issued through the Information System for Management of Export and Import of Strategic Items(Yestrade) over the past 5 years are used. By Analyzing such data, we try to make recommendations for improvements.
