Purpose : The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of political risk, credit risk, exchange rate fluctuation risk, and cargo transportation risk, which are the determining factors of risk, on the use of trade insurance system and commercial arbitration. The purpose of this study is to find out which method is an efficient solution to trade transaction risk through such analysis and help promote trade. Research design, data, methodology : In addition, a questionnaire survey method was used to empirically analyze the impact on risk management of Korean import and export companies. The sample was surveyed on small and medium-sized import and export enterprises in Gwangju Metropolitan City and Jeonnam. The research model used the risks of trading companies such as emergency risk, credit risk, corporate risk, interest rate fluctuation and currency fluctuation risk. In addition, constituent factors were utilized as constituent factors such as emergency risk, credit risk, currency risk, and transportation risk, which cause unexpected losses such as impossibility of fulfillment of trade contracts, inability to recover import and export payments, loss of currency exchange, and loss of transport cargo. Results : As a result of the empirical analysis, if the factors of trade risk affect risk management, political risk, credit risk, exchange rate fluctuation risk, freight transport risk, etc. are among the main risk factors. In addition, the exchange rate fluctuation risk has an insignificant effect on the use of the commercial arbitration system. This is a factor that does not affect import and export risk management, and the risk of exchange rate fluctuations is not significant. Conclusions : Political leaks, credit risk, and cargo transportation risk factors are suitable for efficient management of trade risk, but exchange rate fluctuation risk does not affect the risk management factors that occur when trading companies conduct trade. This means that importers and exporters tend to leave the risk of exchange rate fluctuations to changes in the market environment, rather than to adjust them in terms of trade management. In other words, exchange rate fluctuations change under too diversified circumstances, which means that it is a factor that deviates from the management aspect of importers and exports. In the future, traders must develop and respond to import and export risk factors in order to actively respond in a diversified and diversified environment.
