Could you please let me know if there's a way to avoid declaring a bag worth USD 2500 when entering Korea? I will be staying in Korea for only one week before departing.

 

In this case, the questioner can use the traveler's belongings deposit system.

Items brought in by a traveler that they do not intend to import can be deposited in accordance with Article 206 of the Customs Act, and a deposit receipt for personal belongings will be issued to the traveler.

However, the following items can be deposited only if deemed appropriate by the customs officer:

  1. Items belonging to a designated high-risk traveler.
  2. Items recognized as commercial goods intended for domestic import.
  3. Items brought in by domestic residents.
  4. Hazardous items and quarantine-targeted agricultural, forestry, livestock, and fishery products that are at risk of damage or deterioration.

The storage period for items held by travelers is one month, and the storage period for deposited items is calculated by adding one month to the scheduled departure date stated on the deposit receipt.

What qualifications and visa requirements must a foreigner meet to open a business establishment or run a business as a co-representative in Korea? I am considering starting a business as a sole proprietor.

  • D8 (Corporate Investment) visa
  • D9 (Trade Management) visa
  • F2 (Residency) visa
  • F4 (Overseas Korean) visa
  • F5 (Permanent Resident) visa

Additionally, the national spouse visa (F-6-1) is issued to foreigners married to Koreans. With this visa, you can engage in general business activities and register as a sole proprietor in Korea.

What are the common import duties and taxes in Korea?

 

 South Korea is a country with limited natural resources. However, it has an economic structure that achieves a trade surplus by importing various raw materials, manufacturing high-value-added products using advanced technology and excellent human resources, and exporting high-quality products. 

 Therefore, South Korea is highly proactive in establishing Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). FTAs reduce the cost burden on manufacturing companies when importing raw materials, while enhancing price competitiveness for exports, thereby invigorating South Korea's trade-centric economic structure.

 As a result, South Korea's tariff rates for many types of products have reached 0% for most countries. Even when FTA benefits cannot be applied, the WTO agreement tariff rate of 6.5% is still lower than the basic rate of 8%. In some cases, the basic rate can even be 0%.

 If you are planning to trade with South Korea and are concerned about tariffs and taxes, ensure that you prepare the necessary certificates of origin for FTA benefits or verify the applicability of WTO agreement tariff rates.

What are the most common issues faced during customs clearance?

 

What is the most common customs issue when importing goods into Korea?

One of the most frequent issues is related to 'Country of Origin' labels.

Most imported goods must have a country of origin label before import declaration, as required by various trade laws. 

Despite improvements, some manufacturers, especially from China, do not include these labels during production. 

This issue also occurs with some Southeast Asian countries.

 

How should the Country of Origin label be applied?

The label must be applied in a way that cannot be easily removed from the product. 

If you plan to export goods to Korea, ensure the country of origin label is properly applied during manufacturing.
