The Rules of origin show that it is major factor between Korea and China development in process of world economic integration. It is a standard in FTA that determines preferential treatment in and outside the precinct. Therefore, it can become the effective means of ensuring the trades restriction. Moreover, it can play a role in building trade barrier against commodity outside the precinct. However, FTA differs in rules of origin which has the feature of uncertainty and complexity. Many regulations in rules of origin play the role of trade barrier due to its different scope of application. This paper was analyzed rules of origin in major countries and its characteristics. The purpose of this paper is to put forward the subject basis of the imminent advancing FTA. Nowadays, The countries are very concerned about the tariff reduction in FTA, on the contrary, Rules of origin is almost neglected by FTA binding countries. However, rules of origin is the major factor of FTA. So, we should pay more attention and discuss the negative-impact caused by different rules of origin between the two countries. Although it seems that the issue between South Korea and China in terms of establishing the rules of origins is not a grand challenge technically, there are still some factors we need to take into consideration. Firstly, the rules of origins between the two countries shall be based on the principle of fairness, transparency, predictability as well as coherence and neutral. Secondly, it is necessary to provide the response plans which are mutually applicable in both states. Thirdly, both countries shall give mutual understanding and compromise towards the aspect of agricultural products in the rules. The fourth, China could accept into the south korea product about north korea product.
