Enter the shipping origin, item price and shipping cost (USD), and today's exchange rate and duty rate for an overseas direct purchase shipped to Korea to check whether it's under the duty-free de minimis threshold (list clearance) and calculate the estimated customs duty, VAT, and total payment.
Enter any freight not already included in the item price, such as shipping to a forwarding address. Leave blank to treat it as 0.
Exchange rates change daily, so no default value is pre-filled. Look up the rate that actually applies to today's payment (or expected clearance date) and enter it yourself — Korea Customs' notified exchange rate or your card issuer's settlement rate are common references.
Duty rates vary by item (HS code), so no default value is pre-filled. Look up the rate for your specific item via Korea Customs' tariff schedule, the UNI-PASS system (unipass.customs.go.kr), or your shipping forwarder's guide, then enter it here.
Enter the details above to calculate the result.
Taxable value = (item price + shipping) × exchange rate. Estimated duty = taxable value × duty rate. Estimated VAT = (taxable value + duty) × 10% (Korea's statutory VAT rate is a fixed 10%). This calculator takes the exchange rate and duty rate as your own input rather than storing them as fixed values tied to a point in time, so it keeps working with no updates needed. Actual clearance may add item-specific simplified duty rates, individual consumption tax, education tax, or forwarder/broker fees — check Korea Customs (customs.go.kr) or your shipping forwarder for the exact amount.
