FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does shipping from USA to South Korea take?
Air freight 2-3 days door to airport. Ocean FCL 14-20 days port to port. LCL 22-30 days. Korean customs clearance runs 1-3 business days when the declaration is filed before arrival, which is how we file it.
We quote instantly from 50+ carriers on the USA-South Korea lane, file the UNI-PASS declaration ourselves, and hold the KC certification paperwork on file so a shipment never waits at the border for a document.
Air: $3.50-$7.10/kg. Ocean FCL 20′: $1,800-$4,000. FCL 40′: $2,400-$5,300. LCL: $43-$80/CBM. Rates move with season and space; the instant quote tool shows live pricing for your exact shipment.
Korean VAT at 10%, payable at import and creditable on your return. Goods that originate in the USA enter duty free under KORUS when the certification of origin is correct. We calculate the landed cost before you book, not after the goods arrive.
Declarations are filed electronically through UNI-PASS to Korea Customs Service. Importers need KC certification, MFDS approval for food and medical goods, and Korean-language labelling. ExFreight prepares the filing and works with licensed local brokers on every entry.
We operate weekly sailings from US West and East Coast ports to Busan and Incheon. Air cargo flies direct to Incheon (ICN) from LAX, SFO, ORD, ATL and JFK. We book on all of them and pick by landed cost, not by habit.
Yes. Special rates for Coupang and Naver marketplace prep, KC certification checks, Korean labelling, and delivery to fulfillment centers in Incheon and Gwangju. We label, palletize to local specification, and book the delivery appointment.
Consolidate into full containers where volume allows, book LCL on our weekly consolidation instead of ad-hoc, classify goods under the correct tariff heading, and pick the gateway closest to your final destination. We model all four before quoting.
Air freight (2-3 days door to airport) suits urgent, high-value or low-volume cargo. Ocean costs less per kilo: FCL 14-20 days for a full container, LCL 22-30 days when you cannot fill one. As a rule air wins under roughly 200 kg or against a tight deadline, ocean wins on everything larger. We quote both on every booking so you compare landed cost, not just freight.
We file the UNI-PASS declaration to Korea Customs Service and work with a licensed broker on every entry, so you do not need your own. For most USA-South Korea shipments we recommend DAP or DDP so ExFreight controls Korean customs clearance and delivery; on EXW or FOB we still arrange pickup and export. Tell us the Incoterm at quote and we structure the move around it.
Importers into South Korea need KC certification, MFDS approval for food and medical goods, and Korean-language labelling. Regulated categories such as food, cosmetics, electronics and batteries can need registration or licensing before arrival, and dangerous goods require IMO or IATA declarations. We check the classification against Korean customs rules before booking so nothing is stopped at the border.
Get an instant rate from 50+ carriers in the quote tool, accept online, and we handle pickup, export and Korean customs clearance. Book air 2-3 days ahead and ocean 1-2 weeks before the sailing to secure space and rates. Shippers running parallel lanes also move freight USA to Japan and USA to China, all quoted from the same USA freight forwarding hub.
