Korea duty-free comparisonTravel shopping checklist
From Korea shopping to arrival customs
A lower shelf price is one part of the decision. Check the full route from checkout to your destination.
Taking your purchases home
Your destination’s customs rules still apply to Korean duty-free purchases. Choose where you will arrive; the resident and visitor conditions may differ.
Australia: what to check before buying
Plan Korean fragrance and skincare purchases before flying to Australia: general-goods concessions, declarations, receipts and airport collection.
Canada: what to check before buying
Check Canadian returning-resident exemptions for shopping in Korea: 24-hour and 48-hour limits, declarations, CAD values and your airport pickup plan.
Plan the full journey
- Compare the same product, size and set contents on our price comparison.
- Confirm your eligible price and order deadline on the official retailer website.
- Read the Incheon pickup guide and locate your order’s counter.
- Check liquid restrictions with every airline and transit airport in your itinerary.
- Keep receipts and follow the arrival country’s declaration rules, including purchases from the rest of your trip.
Duty free does not mean tax free everywhere
Retailer eligibility in Korea, cabin baggage rules and arrival-country customs are separate checks. Your passport language or the language you use on DFMOA does not determine which rules apply.
