Even as a gift, at 2 million won, unless it is covered under the FTA you are going to pay to import it.

| I would expect to pay about 4-500,000 won on a $1900 shipment. |

IF the item is covered under the FTA then there is only the VAT to pay.
If it is NOT covered under FTA then there is duty, VAT and potentially a luxury tariff as well (since we don't know what it is).
