Customs Clearance Benefits
When a Korean national establishes residence abroad and lives there for 1 year (or 6 months if accompanied by family) or more before returning to Korea, customs duties are exempted for used household goods.
The scope of duty exemption is applied differently, considering the mover's occupation, reason for relocation, number of family members, etc.
