FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does air freight from USA to South Korea take?
Direct air freight 1-3 days to Incheon (ICN), Gimpo (GMP), Busan (PUS). Express courier: 48 hours door-to-door. Consolidated air: 3-5 days. Charter flights: 1-2 days from US West Coast. KCS clearance adds a few hours to 1 day, among the fastest customs in the world.
Air freight: USD $4.00-$8.00/kg on direct transpacific flights. Express: $9-$16/kg for urgent cargo. Charter pricing on request. VAT 10% on customs value plus import duties (0-8% for most goods, many eliminated under KORUS FTA for US-origin products with proper origin certification).
KCS processes imports through UNI-PASS electronic system. You need a Korean Customs ID, HS classification, and import declaration. Permits from MFDS (food/cosmetics/medical devices), KC certification (electronics/children’s products), NRF (radio/wireless). VAT 10% collected at clearance or deferred.
Incheon International (ICN) — 80%+ of US-Korea air trade, Asia’s #2 cargo hub. Gimpo (GMP) — closer to central Seoul, premium slots. Busan (PUS) — southeast and port integration. Also Daegu (TAE), Jeju (CJU). ExFreight provides nationwide trucking across all provinces.
Yes — Coupang, Gmarket, 11st, Naver Shopping, and Kakao. ExFreight handles US pickup, air freight, KCS clearance, and fulfillment center delivery in Gyeonggi and Incheon. Personal import (haesoemoon) for small shipments under $150 enjoys simplified customs.
Yes — KORUS FTA (in force since 2012) eliminates tariffs on most US-origin goods (95%+ by 2026). Requires proof of origin (self-certification or supplier declaration). Most industrial and consumer goods enter duty-free. VAT 10% still applies. ExFreight prepares KORUS documentation at no extra cost.
Two options: (1) Direct transpacific: LAX-ICN 12-hour flight, total transit 36 hours door-to-door. (2) Via Tokyo Narita hub: 2-3 days with consolidation. Direct saves 24-36 hours and $250-500 per 100kg shipment on time-sensitive semiconductor and K-beauty cargo.
Limited under KORUS FTA — Korea has few active anti-dumping measures on US-origin goods. Occasional measures on specific chemical and agricultural products. Rates: 10-40%. Check Korea Trade Commission registry. ExFreight flags known anti-dumping categories during quoting.
