If I order something from the US, if it's under $150, I don't get taxed, right? Or is it $100? I forgot...
(Sorry, I looked in the FAQ, but it's not there...) |

I was told $150 so I made sure to stay under that...but I was over $100....ended up paying so much tax that it was nearly equal to the cost of the contents of the package. A friend has gotten things under $150 numerous times without paying tax. Are you feeling lucky?  |

| Before shopping online, it is important to note that the advertised price on a seller's web-site is not always the same as the total price that you might end up paying. It is because if the total value of the goods (the purchase price plus freight and insurance) exceeds 150,000 Korean won (about US$ 120), you need to pay Customs duties and taxes. |
