Two Korean officials, Kim Kye-yeong and Kim Kwan-woo, have been named World Customs Organization (WCO) Accredited Experts, the Korea Customs Service (KCS) announced on Wednesday. Their accreditations took effect on August 25.
Kim Kye-yeong, an IT official, was recognized as a technical advisor in the field of single window systems. Meanwhile, Kim Kwan-woo, a customs official at Gimhae Airport Customs, earned the title of operational advisor in data analytics.
As of now, there are nine KCS officials serving as WCO Accredited Experts. These officials are customs officers from member countries who have received official certification from the WCO for their professional expertise and practical capabilities. They join the WCO's pool of experts who support capacity building in customs administration.
Becoming a WCO Accredited Expert is a rigorous process. Candidates first undergo a document screening. If they pass, they participate in a workshop where their expertise is evaluated through presentations, discussions, and other activities. Those who receive strong evaluations then move on to the final stages of the process.
