KICOX Supports Strengthening Global Trade Response Capabilities for Export Companies in Industrial Complexes

Training on Responding to the EU Supply Chain Due Diligence Directive and U.S. Tariff Policies

The Korea Industrial Complex Corporation announced that on October 27 and 28, it operated the '2025 Incheon Industrial Complex Global Trade Response Package Program' in collaboration with KB Kookmin Bank, KOTRA, and the Global Leading Companies Association to strengthen the global trade response capabilities of export companies in industrial complexes.

This program was established to proactively respond to increasingly stringent international trade regulations, such as the European Union's Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and changes in U.S. tariff policies.

The program was tailored by separating sessions for company executives and working-level staff, providing information suited to each participant group and enhancing on-site, practical support. Approximately 100 export companies from industrial complexes in Incheon participated, demonstrating high interest.

The main topics included: ▲key provisions of the European Union's supply chain due diligence directive and response strategies; ▲industry-specific tariff risk management strategies in response to changes in U.S. tariff policies. Deloitte Anjin LLC introduced case studies on tariff application by item and presented solutions to company-specific challenges through a Q&A session.

During the one-on-one customized consulting sessions, tailored advice reflecting each company's export items and key market characteristics was provided in areas such as: ▲supply chain due diligence response (CoData Solution); ▲export consulting (KOTRA); and ▲export financial support (KB Kookmin Bank).

The Korea Industrial Complex Corporation plans to further expand global trade response programs nationwide, reflecting the characteristics of each industry and company size in industrial complexes, and to strengthen cooperation with partner organizations to support the export competitiveness and sustainable growth of tenant companies.

Lee Sanghoon, President of the Korea Industrial Complex Corporation, stated, "Industrial complexes have been the core foundation supporting Korea's exports and economic growth," adding, "This program will serve as a practical alternative to help export companies in industrial complexes proactively respond to strengthening international regulations and achieve sustainable growth."
