Abstract
An examining method is provided to expedite customs clearance procedures including authenticity verification of brand-name products. A writing apparatus of a company manufacturing or selling brand-name products sends information encoded using an encoding key to an ID tag assigned to the products. The ID tag stores the encoded information. An examining apparatus of an official responsible for examining the authenticity of the products receives the information from the ID tag and decodes the information using a decoding key. The decoded data and a pre-stored company code are compared to determine whether a match is found. If the products are authentic and an export license is granted, an employee of a shipping company encodes the information described in a bill of lading (B/L) and stores the encoded information in the ID tag. The B/L information is read from the ID tag and is decoded using a decoding key.
