U.S. Postal Shipping via Korea Post → USPS Has Restarted

Model: DDP (duties prepaid)
Effective date: September 22, 2025

Great news for our U.S. customers: international postal dispatch from Korea Post to the United States has been fully reinstated, with USPS handling final delivery stateside. All parcels move on a Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) basis through the postal network, so any applicable duties/taxes are prepaid.

Important: Neither Korea Post nor USPS will ask you to pay anything at the door.

• No doorstep charges: Korea Post/USPS will not request additional payment upon delivery.

• We handle customs: We submit product details, quantity, value, HS code, and country of origin—no extra paperwork from you.

• Transit times: As operations ramp back up, some routes may see initial processing queues. Delivery speeds can vary by destination and customs workload.
