Varies from item to item, you need to check the website.

That much value will get taxed if it's declared, electronics can be a few hundred percent of value if they look new.

Fines for lying are always fun too.

Yeah, who knows how they valued my 4 pairs of new shoes, headphones, etc. I ended up having to pay 60,000 won because the value was over 200,000 or some crap.
