| Research Abstract |
We often observe the international trade of used products, which can give not only positive economic welfare but also negative external cost to the importing countries. This research considered the exporter's responsibility and cost burden of waste disposal in the international trade of used products. First, it showed that the fee policy for the export of used products is not desirable in the exporting country. Second, it showed that it is difficult to apply the ideas of the waste generator's responsibility and the extended producer responsibility to the waste problems in the importing countries of used products.
