Clearance difficulty by destination
- KoreaSelf-clearable
[-] Printed matter, accessories and sundries carry no customs-verified requirement by default; a children’s, food-contact or electrical function moves them into the corresponding regime.
- United StatesSelf-clearable
[CBP] Printed matter has no federal pre-import approval; CBP trademark/copyright border enforcement still applies.
- TaiwanSelf-clearable
[-] Printed matter, accessories and sundries generally carry no import rule; for mainland-China origin the MW0/MP1 rules must still be checked.
- ChinaBroker recommended
[NPPA] Importing publications (books, periodicals, printed matter) is limited to firms holding a publication import licence and is subject to content review; even small personal quantities can be screened, so K-pop photobooks and magazines need checking.
