Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy Holds Export Voucher Plaza to Support Companies Affected by US Tariffs
The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and KOTRA held the ‘2025 Tariff Response Export Voucher Plaza’ at Magok COEX on the 9th and provided consulting support for overseas expansion strategies for participating companies.
This event was attended by 700 companies including Tariff Response Export Voucher participating companies and service providers, and consisted of an export voucher seminar that provided information on tariff trends and voucher business, an alternative market entry road, and an export consulting center.
The Customs Response Export Voucher is a new project introduced this year to support export companies that are concerned about damage due to US tariff measures.
It focuses on providing a customs response package service consisting of damage analysis, damage response, and alternative market discovery through local partners verified through KOTRA’s overseas trade offices.
In the Export Voucher Seminar, we discussed effective corporate branding and marketing strategies using Google campaigns in collaboration with Google Korea.
In the Alternative Market Entry Road, we supported opportunities for companies to receive recommendations for alternative markets directly from a promising market recommendation bot, obtain essential overseas certifications and overseas exhibition information related to these markets, and experience powerful buyer matching services.
In the future, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and KOTRA plan to actively support export companies experiencing difficulties due to tariffs in damage response and alternative market entry by recruiting additional customs response vouchers based on the results of the Korea-US tariff negotiations.
The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy said, “Uncertainty in the trade environment is rapidly increasing due to the prolonged Korea-U.S. tariff negotiations and instability in the Middle East. The government will provide multifaceted support to help companies exposed to trade risks resolve export difficulties and enter alternative markets.”
