Frequently Asked Questions: Mail Forwarding Thailand to South Korea
Do I need a Korea PCC code for imports from Thailand?
Yes for personal imports. Korea's Personal Customs Clearance code is mandatory; parcels without one sit uncleared. Register online in minutes. Thai Nexus collects the PCC before dispatch on all Korean parcel bookings.
What is Korea's tax-free limit?
USD 150 per consignment per day for most origins including Thailand. Above it, 10 percent VAT and duty of typically 0 to 8 percent apply.
Can I ship Thai snacks to Korea?
Personal quantities of packaged snacks usually clear when declared accurately. Commercial food quantities need KFDA import clearance first. Same-day multiple parcels to one recipient aggregate and can lose the USD 150 exemption.
