Quick answer
To send a parcel from Kerala to South Korea: book a free pickup on ShipKorea.in from any Kerala PIN — Kochi, Trivandrum, Kozhikode, Thrissur, Kottayam, Kannur, everywhere. We clear customs both sides (DDP — duty pre-paid) and deliver to any Korean address in 5–8 days. From ₹609/kg all-in; Kerala pays the same rates as Delhi and Mumbai, with no regional surcharge.
The Kerala–Korea corridor nobody talks about
Kerala has one of India's deepest connections to Korea: hundreds of Malayali nurses in Korean hospitals and care facilities, students across Korean universities (KGSP scholars especially), EPS workers, and a growing number of K-culture-driven families. The result: one of our busiest care-package corridors in India. Festival seasons (Onam especially) see Kerala-origin shipments of banana chips, dry snacks and ethnic wear spike dramatically — we add extra Onam-season slots every August.
Pickup coverage — every district, every PIN
Ernakulam/Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram, Kozhikode, Thrissur, Kottayam, Kannur, Palakkad, Malappuram, Kollam, Alappuzha, Pathanamthitta, Idukki, Wayanad, Kasaragod — free doorstep pickup in all 14 districts, urban and rural. No 'out of service area', no remote surcharge. Hill-district pickups (Idukki, Wayanad) may schedule next-day instead of same-day; everything else is 2–24 hours from booking.
Charges from Kerala — the same as every metro
₹749/kg (0.5–2 kg), ₹699/kg (3–5 kg), ₹659/kg (6–10 kg), ₹629/kg (11–20 kg), ₹609/kg (21 kg+). Every rupee all-inclusive: free Kerala pickup, Indian export, airfreight, Korean customs duty + VAT pre-paid, door delivery to any Korean address, live tracking. Example: a 7 kg Onam box (banana chips, dry snacks, kasavu saree) = 7 × ₹659 = ₹4,613 all-in. Students and nurses' families shipping monthly get business-volume rates.
What Kerala sends to Korea (and the food rules)
MOST-SHIPPED: banana chips and tapioca chips (factory-sealed packets), spice packs and curry powders, kasavu sarees and mundu, instant food mixes (appam, idiyappam, payasam), tea/coffee, books and Malayalam magazines, winter clothes for students. FOOD RULES: dry + factory-sealed + ingredient label = clears customs. Fresh food, fish/meat products, wet chutneys, and home-bottled coconut oil (leakage) = seized or rejected. When unsure, WhatsApp a photo of the item before packing.
