🧾Customs & Tax

Korea Customs Duty Calculator for Foreign Buyers

Estimate customs duty, VAT, and total landed cost for products bought in Korea.

Estimate declared value, duty, VAT, and a realistic total import cost before you buy.

Calculator

Adjust the assumptions to match the shopping flow you are evaluating.

How to use this tool

Use this calculator when you already know the item price and a rough shipping cost.

What to enter

  • Item price in KRW.
  • Shipping cost in KRW.
  • Your working duty-free threshold.
  • Duty rate and VAT rate if you know the product category.

What the result means

The tool estimates three core numbers:

  1. Declared value.
  2. Estimated duty.
  3. Estimated VAT and total landed cost.

This is useful when a Korean order looks cheap at checkout but becomes less attractive after customs fees.

Practical notes

  • The result is a planning estimate, not an official customs quote.
  • Some categories use different duty logic.
  • If you are unsure, use a slightly conservative duty rate so you do not under-budget.

Best use case

Use this before placing an order for beauty, electronics, supplements, or any item where customs cost can change the decision.
