1Overview

  • Destination duty: 8% (기본세율, same on all 4 lines) — No preferential agreement with Taiwan — the basic / MFN rate applies.
  • VAT (부가가치세): 10%
  • This code covers: Other anesthetics

Key points

  • Small-consignment exemption: goods for personal use with a goods value of US$150 or less, or US$200 for US-origin goods under KORUS. Express consignments are split by goods value into list clearance (US$150 or less, US$200 from the United States), simplified import declaration (over US$150 up to US$2,000) and full import declaration (over US$2,000); shipments from the same sender on the same day, or one bill of lading split up, are aggregated.
  • Import VAT is 10%, charged on the customs value plus duty plus any individual consumption or liquor tax.
  • A customs broker is not mandatory. The importer may self-file in UNI-PASS, and an individual needs a personal customs clearance code.
  • FTA preference needs a certificate or declaration of origin: KORUS for U.S. origin, the Korea-China FTA or RCEP for Chinese origin. Korea and Taiwan have no agreement, so the basic or WTO rate applies.
  • Whether a product requirement applies depends on the HS code. Food, cosmetics, electrical goods and radio equipment must clear their agency requirement before customs clearance can proceed.

Key points on the origin side

  • General goods carry no export duty, but exports still pay the trade promotion service fee: 0.04% (four per ten thousand) of the FOB value shown on the export declaration, under art. 21-1 of the Foreign Trade Act and art. 17 of its enforcement rules. It is not collected where the amount payable is NT$100 or less.
  • Exporting in a company's own name requires registration as an importer/exporter with the International Trade Administration. Under art. 9(5) of the Foreign Trade Act and the Regulations Governing Registration of Exporters and Importers, a company or firm not otherwise prohibited or restricted may apply; both the English-name pre-check and the registration itself are filed electronically.
  • Check the export regulation column of the commodity classification table before shipping; strategic high-tech commodities need an export permit.
  • The export declaration release record supports the zero-rated business tax return and drawback of tax on raw materials.
  • Goods on the ECFA early harvest list going to mainland China may use an ECFA certificate of origin; Taiwan has no free trade agreement with Korea or the United States.
  • Mainland China has suspended ECFA early-harvest concessions twice — 12 tariff lines (Customs Tariff Commission Announcement 2023 No. 9, effective 2024-01-01) and 134 lines (2024 No. 4, effective 2024-06-15), 146 in total. The remaining early-harvest items still apply and no further suspension had been announced as of 2026-09 (Announcement 2024 No. 8, ending zero tariffs on 34 Taiwan agricultural products, is a separate unilateral policy, not ECFA). Check the latest announcements for your tariff line before shipping.

Caveats

  • Excise and requirement lists are written at the national tariff line, not at HS6. An HS6 code can only give the general picture.
  • A small or personal consignment may go through a different regime with a different tax result — see the routes listed below.
  • De minimis: US$150 self-use small-consignment exemption (US$200 from the US).
  • Information only, as of 2026-09-09. The rates and the customs value fixed on the entry date control — verify with the customs authority or a licensed broker.
De minimis

US$150 self-use small-consignment exemption (US$200 from the US)

The 'goods value' includes tax, inland freight and insurance incurred in the sending country but excludes the international shipping charge to Korea. Once the threshold is passed the exemption is lost and the whole consignment — international freight included — becomes taxable.

· Applies only to goods recognised as being for personal use. Goods for resale, or quantities beyond the self-use allowance, do not qualify.

· Aggregation: consignments from the same sender arriving on the same day, or one B/L split artificially, are combined and taxed together.

Threshold:
150 USD

Information, not advice. The tax actually charged is fixed by customs on the accepted declaration, at the rates and customs value applying that day. 개별소비세 (individual consumption tax) and 주세 (liquor tax) fall only on goods listed in their statutes; an HS6 code cannot settle whether an item is on those lists. Verify with Korea Customs (125) or a licensed 관세사.

As of: 2026-09-09

  • · Tax base = customs value (CIF) + duty + individual consumption tax, liquor tax, education tax and special rural development tax where they apply.
  • · Duty is calculated at whichever rate in the tariff schedule applies: basic rate (A), WTO rate (C), or an FTA preferential rate.
  • · The simplified tariff rate is a combined customs-duty-and-internal-tax rate available for travellers' and crew members' accompanied goods, postal items, and consigned or separately shipped personal effects (Customs Act article 81). The goods covered and the bands themselves sit in article 96 of the Enforcement Decree and its Annex 2. It does not apply to duty-free or duty-reduced goods, raw materials for export production, goods charged a specific duty, goods the Commissioner designates (commercial quantities, high-value articles), or where the importer asks for it not to be applied.
  • · Individual consumption tax applies only to listed goods such as certain cosmetics, precious metals and vehicles; alcohol carries liquor tax and education tax separately.
  • · A business importer can normally credit the import VAT as input tax, so the final cost differs between businesses and individuals.

6Procedure

  1. Arrival and manifestThe carrier or forwarder files the cargo manifest before arrival and reports discharge once the vessel is in.
  2. Entry into a bonded areaThe goods move into a bonded area such as a CY, CFS or bonded warehouse. A declaration can be filed from that point, or earlier as a pre-arrival or pre-departure declaration when speed matters.
  3. Import declarationThe importer or a customs broker files the declaration in UNI-PASS with the HS code, customs value, origin, the rate claimed including any FTA preference, and any product requirement.
  4. Document review and examinationThe declaration is routed as paperless, document review or physical examination. Goods subject to a product requirement wait until the relevant agency has confirmed it.
  5. PaymentDuty, VAT and any internal taxes are paid. With security lodged, deferred payment including monthly consolidated payment is available.
  6. Acceptance and releaseOnce the import declaration certificate is issued the goods leave the bonded area. Amendment, refund claims and duty drawback follow their own separate procedures.
  1. Arrival and discharge reportThe airline files the manifest and reports discharge, and the goods move into the airport bonded cargo terminal.
  2. Import declarationThe declaration is filed in UNI-PASS, with the same pre-arrival option as for ocean cargo.
  3. Review, examination and requirementsAgency confirmation is obtained where a product requirement applies. Because air cargo moves quickly, the requirement step is often the constraint.
  4. Payment and acceptanceTaxes are paid and the import declaration certificate is issued.
  5. ReleaseThe goods leave the airport bonded area.
  1. Express clearance listThe express operator submits the clearance list to customs before arrival. For an individual importer it must carry the personal customs clearance code.
  2. Choosing the trackExpress consignments are handled by goods value as list clearance (US$150 or less, US$200 from the United States), simplified import declaration (over US$150 up to US$2,000) or full import declaration (over US$2,000). Medicines, herbal medicine ingredients, quarantine-listed agricultural, forestry, livestock and fishery products, health functional foods, goods suspected of infringing intellectual property, foodstuffs, alcohol and tobacco, some cosmetics and radio equipment under the Radio Waves Act are excluded from list clearance regardless of value.
  3. Exemption testGoods for personal use with a goods value of US$150 or less (US$200 for US-origin goods) are free of duty and VAT. Shipments from the same sender on the same day, or a single transport document split up, are assessed together. Health functional foods and medicines have separate personal-use quantity limits — for example six bottles of a health functional food, and six bottles of a medicine or a three-month course under the dosage instructions.
  4. Assessment and paymentAbove the threshold the whole value is taxable, and small self-use consignments may be assessed at the simplified combined rate. Express operators normally advance the tax and bill the recipient.
  5. Release and deliveryAfter clearance the operator delivers. Goods awaiting an agency confirmation stay in the bonded area until it is issued.
  1. Traveller declarationOn arrival, travellers complete the traveller declaration form or the mobile declaration and declare dutiable goods.
  2. Personal allowanceThe basic allowance is US$800 for the total value of goods acquired abroad. Separately, alcohol up to 2 litres and US$400, 200 cigarettes, 100 ml of perfume and 20 ml of e-cigarette nicotine liquid are free of duty; travellers under 19 get no alcohol or tobacco allowance. The basis is Customs Act Enforcement Rules art. 48.
  3. Voluntary declarationVoluntarily declaring goods above the allowance reduces the duty by 30% (subject to a cap). Failing to declare and being caught attracts a penalty of 40% of the tax due, or 60% for a second or later occasion within two years.
  4. Commercial goodsGoods carried for sale need an ordinary import declaration even when hand-carried, and any product requirement still applies.
