General Information

Due to the fluctuations of the exchange rate, orders with value very close to the tax-free limit may be assessed Duties and Taxes (D&T) as the currency exchange rate may vary from the order date to the customs clearance date.

Please check with your local customs office in Korea to see if you can import the items, and if any additional licenses or permits are needed.

Customs Information

Customs duties in South Korea are not imposed based on the day the goods arrive at the customs but rather on the date of the order. If you purchase items from the same overseas supplier on the same date and the total exceeds $150, customs duties may be imposed.

For information about customs, import duties, etc., visit: Korea Customs Service, Ministry of Food and Drug Safety

iHerb will not be liable for packages held or confiscated by customs.
