Necessity and Effect of Introducing a Blockchain Distribution History System to Manage Illegal Imports from Overseas Direct Purchases

The growth of global e-commerce platforms has expanded consumers' opportunities to choose products with superior quality and cost-effectiveness, and has also helped to activate the global market through competition between companies. However, negative outcomes such as customs evasion, smuggling, unfair profits by purchasing agents, and imports of hazardous goods have also occurred, and it is urgent to find solutions to these. Accordingly, this study aims to identify cases of increased illegal imports due to the increase in global B2C and to suggest the need to establish a sound customs clearance order and an advanced customs clearance administrative system for e-commerce. This study is different from previous studies in that it presents opinions on the blockchain distribution history system. However, it has limitations in that it does not cover the engineering content regarding the design and technical characteristics of the blockchain distribution history system.
