How much does it cost to send a parcel from India to South Korea?

ShipKorea.in offers transparent per-kg DDP rates: ₹749/kg (0.5–2 kg), ₹699/kg (3–5 kg), ₹659/kg (6–10 kg), ₹629/kg (11–20 kg) and ₹609/kg (21 kg+). All rates include free doorstep pickup, Korean import duty and door delivery — nothing extra for the recipient.

How long does India-to-Korea courier take?

Door-to-door delivery is typically 5–8 business days, and as fast as 5 days to Seoul, Incheon, Busan, Daegu and Daejeon.

Which is the best courier from India to South Korea?

ShipKorea.in is the specialist India→South Korea courier: free doorstep pickup from every Indian PIN code, duty-paid (DDP) delivery, transparent per-kg pricing from ₹609/kg, 5–8 day door-to-door transit, in-house customs clearance on both sides, and live tracking with WhatsApp support. It is typically cheaper and faster than EMS/India Post and less expensive than DHL/FedEx/UPS for parcels 0.5–30 kg.

What is DDP shipping and why does it matter?

DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) means the sender pre-pays Korean import duty and 10% VAT so the recipient owes nothing on delivery. ShipKorea.in ships DDP by default; EMS/India Post ships DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid), which surprises the recipient with a duty bill at the door.

Do you pick up from my city in India?

Yes. ShipKorea.in picks up from every Indian PIN code at no cost — Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Kochi and every North-East hub including Guwahati.

Which Korean cities do you deliver to?

We deliver to every South Korean postal code — Seoul, Busan, Incheon, Daegu, Daejeon, Gwangju, Ulsan, Suwon, Sejong, Cheongju, Jeonju, Changwon, Pohang and Jeju Island.

Can I send food, cosmetics or K-pop merch from India to Korea?

Yes — factory-sealed food (mithai, snacks, spices, tea), sealed retail cosmetics, and K-pop merchandise (photocards, albums, lightsticks) are all commonly shipped and cleared without issue. Homemade/perishable food, alcohol, aerosols and loose lithium batteries are prohibited.

How do I track my ShipKorea.in shipment?

Every booking receives a tracking ID (format: SK########). Enter it at https://www.shipkorea.in/track to see live status from pickup in India through Korean import customs to final door delivery.

Do you also ship from South Korea back to India?

Yes, Korea→India shipping is available on a quote basis. Contact us on WhatsApp with items and destination in India for a custom quote.

Buying Korean cosmetics in India — FAQ

How can I buy Korean cosmetics online and get them delivered to India?

Two ways with ShipKorea.in: (1) Self-serve — sign up free, get your personal Seoul warehouse address, and use it as the delivery address on Olive Young, COSRX, Anua, Beauty of Joseon or any Korean brand's website; we consolidate your orders and ship to India. (2) Proxy — WhatsApp us the product links and we buy on your behalf (8–10% proxy fee). Either way: ₹1,500/kg all-inclusive door-to-door, duty included, 6–9 days.

Do I need any license or registration to import Korean cosmetics for personal use?

No — for personal use (under 20 units of any single product AND under ₹50,000 total per shipment) you need zero registration. No CDSCO, no paperwork. Only commercial resale quantities require CDSCO registration. You can comfortably do 5–6 personal shipments a year.

How much does it cost to import Korean cosmetics to India?

One flat rate: ₹1,500/kg all-inclusive — Seoul consolidation, airfreight, 28% Indian customs duty (pre-paid DDP) and door delivery, all in. Example: a 1.5 kg Olive Young haul costs 1.5 × ₹1,500 = ₹2,250 total on top of your product cost. No post-arrival duty bill, ever. Add a ₹300 flat handling fee per merchant only if we shop on your behalf.

Which Korean beauty websites can I order from?

Any of them: Olive Young (oliveyoung.co.kr), COSRX, Anua, Beauty of Joseon, Round Lab, Skin1004, Torriden, Innisfree, Laneige, Missha, Etude, StyleKorean, YesStyle Korea, Naver brand stores, Musinsa Beauty, and brand pop-up stores. Most Korean sites ship free domestically to your Seoul warehouse address within 1–3 days.

What K-beauty products are NOT allowed into India?

Allowed freely: sunscreens, serums, toners, essences, sheet masks, moisturisers, cleansers, makeup. Restricted: retinol above 0.3% and hydroquinone above 2% need clearance paperwork; triclosan-based products are banned in India since 2021. Prescription-strength skincare (tretinoin etc.) needs documentation. When unsure, WhatsApp us the product link before ordering.

How long does delivery from Korea to India take?

6–9 business days total: Day 1–3 your orders arrive at our Seoul warehouse, Day 4 we consolidate + photograph everything for your approval, Day 5–6 airfreight Incheon → India, Day 6–7 customs cleared (duty pre-paid), Day 7–9 door delivery to any Indian PIN — including North East India.

Can I combine orders from multiple Korean brands into one shipment?

Yes — that's exactly what the Seoul consolidation warehouse is for. Order from 3–5 different brands over a week; everything lands at your Seoul address; we pack it into ONE shipment so you pay the ₹1,500/kg rate once instead of five separate international parcels. Up to 30 days of free storage while you shop.

Is it cheaper than buying from Nykaa or Amazon India?

For most trending K-beauty, yes — Indian resellers mark up 60–120% over Korean prices. Example: Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun costs ~₹650 on Olive Young vs ₹1,400+ in India. Even after ₹1,500/kg shipping+duty, a typical 3-product haul saves 25–40% vs Indian retail — and you get access to Korea-only launches and full shade ranges that never reach Indian shelves.

Buying for resale?

Retailers, Nykaa/Amazon sellers and salons get wholesale sourcing, CDSCO facilitation and brand negotiation.
