Full Details

Initial classification only — pending editorial verification. Lithium Power Bank is generally permitted for postal import into South Korea subject to standard customs declaration and the destination's personal-import duty-free threshold. Quantities suggesting commercial intent (multiple identical units) may trigger commercial-import clearance procedures.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

Declare accurately on CN22 / CN23. Personal-quantity shipments under the destination's de-minimis threshold clear duty-free; consult Korea Customs Service (KCS) for the current threshold.

COUNTRY POSTING NOTES

Korea Post and the Korea Customs Service (KCS) jointly clear international inbound mail at the Incheon International Mail Centre. Personal-import parcels under USD 150 (FOB value) clear duty-free under the de minimis rule; above USD 150, 8% customs duty plus 10% VAT applies, computed on CIF + duty. Goods on the national prohibition list (counterfeit branded goods, narcotics, weapons, dual-use items, North Korean origin) are seized without compensation. Tobacco, alcohol, and cosmetics have separate quantity-based duty rules. KCS's UNI-PASS e-clearance portal handles all declarations; consignees must respond within 30 days to clearance notices to avoid the parcel being declared abandoned.
