I returned a DJ controller to Germany to be fixed under warranty and they are now ready to send it back to me in Korea. What I want to know is how do I ensure that the Korean customs department don't charge me anything?
The package will be worth more than 150,000won but i bought it in Korea months ago so all customs should have been paid.
Is 150,000won still the limit?

Warranty repair/replacement and return.
It is not a new purchase.
Have the repair shop / manufacturer indicate it on the packing slip if they don't do so already.

There should be no problem.

If you sent it by EMS and have your copy of the receipt, keep it. That's all I've needed to show to customs in the past for replacement goods.

Thanks for the replies.
I phoned customs and the woman said I would have to pay tax again when it comes back through customs. I'm hoping you guys are right and she is wrong.
She also confirmed the 150,000won limit (including delivery costs).
I have told the company to specify on the box that it is a warranty repair and I will still have the EMS receipt from when I sent it to Germany.
