Does anyone know how to go about doing this? Any customs restrictions or formalities?

I want to import about 50 lbs. of common cooking spices, as well as pickling spices, curing salts, etc.

For that much you'd probably have to talk to an actual importer about how to do the actual paperwork. You couldn't pass it off as a bottle or two for personal use. If the products aren't available in Korea at all, I believe you have to pay for testing or verification to show it isn't dangerous.

About 3 weeks ago, I sent seeds to a farm in Korea. The U.S. Postal Service asked me to attach a customs form for Korea (you'll need to put in the scientific names).

Seeds got there in 9 days.

Good luck!
