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.

Restaurant supply to Korea — FAQ

Can Korean restaurants import all Indian kitchen supplies from one supplier?

Yes — that's exactly what this service is. ShipKorea.in consolidates your full Indian kitchen list — rice, spices, atta, dals, ghee, pickles, papad, tea, frozen-ready items where permitted — into ONE DDP shipment: one pickup in India, one customs entry in Korea (MFDS handled), one invoice, one delivery to your restaurant. No juggling five suppliers and five customs brokers.

What Indian restaurant supplies can you deliver to Korea?

Rice (Basmati, Sona Masoori, Ponni, Idli rice), whole and ground spices, atta/besan/maida, dals and lentils (toor, moong, chana, urad, masoor), ghee, mustard and coconut oils, factory-sealed pickles and chutneys, papad, ready-to-cook mixes, tea (Assam, Darjeeling, masala chai), jaggery, tamarind, curry leaves (dried), and kitchen disposables. Restricted: fresh produce, meat/dairy, home-made items.

Is it really door-to-door with duty paid (DDP)?

Yes. One quote covers: sourcing or supplier pickup in India, export documentation, freight (air 6–9 days / sea 4–6 weeks), Korean import customs with MFDS food import notification, all duties and taxes pre-paid, and delivery to your restaurant's door. Your kitchen team never deals with customs — in Korea or India.

How does Korean food import compliance (MFDS) work for restaurant supplies?

Every commercial food import needs an MFDS import notification with Korean-language labelling (product name, ingredients, origin, shelf life, importer). Some categories need extra steps — dairy-based items, certain additives, and new-to-Korea ingredients may need pre-approval. We check your entire list against MFDS requirements BEFORE shipping and tell you in writing what clears, what needs documents, and what to substitute.

What are minimum orders and lead times for restaurant supply?

Air freight: from 50 kg, 6–9 days door-to-door — perfect for urgent top-ups and new-menu trials. Sea freight LCL: from ~500 kg, 4–6 weeks at much lower per-kg cost — the standard for monthly restocking. FCL for chains and distributors. Most restaurants run one monthly sea shipment plus air top-ups.

Can you source products if I don't have Indian suppliers?

Yes — we source directly from APEDA-registered Indian millers, spice processors and FMCG distributors (MDH, Everest, Aachi, MTR, Gits, Haldiram's, Amul-equivalents where permitted). You send a shopping list; we return a complete DDP landed-cost quote within 24 hours. Existing supplier? We simply pick up from them.

How much does restaurant supply shipping to Korea cost?

It depends on mix, weight and air-vs-sea — which is why we quote DDP landed cost per order, in writing. Air parcels start from ₹609/kg all-in; sea LCL drops per-kg costs dramatically at 500+ kg. Every quote includes product handling, freight, MFDS/customs, duties and door delivery. No hidden charges, no post-arrival bills.
