 Posted: Sun Dec 06, 2009 12:31 pm Post subject: Duty Free (China>Korea)? How much? |
 |
|
I'm going to China for Xmas, and I'm just wondering if there's a duty-free amount that I can bring back without paying taxes.
(I know this exists between the USA and Canada, but I'm not sure if it exists between China and Korea). This would help me decide how much spending money I should take with me.
Thanks. |

# Travelers
US $400 worth of goods will be allowed to enter Korea duty free. In addition, you may bring in 1 litter of alcoholic liquor (for travelers aged 19 years and over) and tobacco - 200 cigarettes, 50 cigars and 250g tobacco products other than cigarettes (for travelers aged 19 years and over).

and yes the spelling mistake is from the korean government site.
in case you order something online from overseas, or get something shipped from home.

# Post/ Express Deliveries
If the total value of the goods (including purchase price plus freight and insurance) does not exceed 150,000 won (about US $120), it could be cleared without paying Customs duties and taxes.
If the total value of the goods exceeds 150,000 won, you need to pay Customs duties, VAT (Value Added Taxes) and special excise taxes & etc. |
