The Ecuadorian government and the Customs Service introduced Korea 's UniPass, which was highly
efficient in terms of customs clearance and time saving, and was relatively easy to inspect documents. On
the basis of this, we built a unique ECUAPASS-electronic customs clearance system. We studied the
status and background of the Ecuador e-clearance system in order to find out the problems of the
ECUAPASS which is operating successfully in Ecuador and to draw out the improvement plan. We also
reviewed the functions of SICE, which was the previous clearance information system. The similarities and
differences between UniPass and ECUAPASS were derived, and the operational procedures of each stage,
its performance and its effects were also analyzed. Through various analysis and review, we were able to examine the problems and tasks related to the operation of the ECUAPASS, and suggested the
improvements and the strategies for the advancement of UniPass. In this way, this study will be useful
data to prepare various plans for the advancement and establishment of Korea 's UniPass in Latin America.
