| Does anyone know where I can find out how much customs and taxes would be on new clothing shipped to Korea from the U.S.? Specifically, if it was about $200 in clothing, do you know how much I would have to pay? Or would it be better to have it shipped to my daughter and then have her take tags off and ship to me? Thanks. |

I've done both. Had it shipped to someone in the US, tags removed, then sent to me w/o invoices. I've heard that you don't have to worry--unless it's over $100, they usually don't bother with duty. However, I recently had $150 order of mostly books sent directly from Amazon and they didn't do anything about it--no duty. Couldn't tell if it was opened or not. Also had a co-worker who ordered clothes over $100 and they had no problems/duty. As far as how much they'd charge if they did choose to, sorry I don't know. I don't think you really need to worry about it, but having someone stateside send it to you is the 'safest bet'.

| I shop online internationally, keep your orders, postage and packing to $150 (max) and you wont pay customs/duties/taxes. Break up your orders if over $150 and interspace online orders by a day or two, else it will be delivered together or customs Korea will clump orders together and require receiver to pay customs. |
