This article examines how Korea’s new anti-circumvention law under the Customs Act reshapes the compliance landscape for importers in steel, chemical and battery supply chains. It explains how circumvention investigations differ from traditional anti-dumping cases and identifies highrisk third-country routing and minor-alteration structures. It then sets out how contracts, origin management and logistics design can be redesigned to anticipate enforcement and distils these insights into a practical checklist that can be embedded into internal compliance programmes (ICPs).
