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.

Rice duties in Korea — the honest version

Korea's rice tariff treatment varies by variety and quota status, and commercial food imports need MFDS notification with Korean-language labelling. That's exactly why we quote DDP: tell us your variety and volume, and we confirm the exact landed cost — duties included — in writing before anything ships. No estimate games, no surprises at Incheon.

Indian rice import to Korea — FAQ

Can Korean restaurants import basmati rice from India?

Yes — hundreds of Indian restaurants across Seoul, Busan, Daegu and Itaewon source rice from India. ShipKorea.in runs the full pipeline DDP: we collect from your Indian supplier or procure basmati ourselves, handle Indian export + Korean import customs (MFDS food import notification included), pre-pay duties, and door-deliver to your restaurant or warehouse. Tell us the variety, quantity and postcode for an exact landed-cost quote.

Which Indian rice varieties can you supply to Korea?

Basmati (1121 Steam, 1121 Golden Sella, Traditional Basmati, Pusa Basmati), Sona Masoori, Ponni, Idli rice, and parboiled varieties — in 5 kg, 25 kg and 50 kg bags, retail-branded or plain bulk packing. We work with APEDA-registered Indian millers and exporters, with phytosanitary certificates and fumigation as required.

Is DDP (duty paid) delivery really available for rice to Korea?

Yes — that's our core difference. We quote one all-in number covering: Indian procurement/EXW, export documentation, ocean or air freight, Korean import customs (MFDS notification + quarantine), all duties and taxes, and delivery to your Korean address. Your team never touches a customs form. Rice tariff treatment in Korea varies by variety and quota status — we quote the exact landed cost for YOUR case before you commit, in writing.

What about Korean food import regulations (MFDS)?

Commercial food imports into Korea require an MFDS import notification, Korean-language labelling (product name, ingredients, origin, expiry, importer details) and sometimes quarantine inspection. We handle MFDS notification and labelling compliance as part of the service, and flag anything that needs pre-clearance before the shipment moves — no surprises at Incheon.

Can you supply other Indian restaurant ingredients besides rice?

Yes — most restaurant customers bundle: spices and masalas, atta and besan, dals and lentils, ghee, pickles and papad (factory-sealed), tea, and frozen-ready items where permitted. One consolidated DDP shipment with one invoice, instead of five suppliers and five customs entries.

What are the minimum quantities and lead times?

Air freight: from 50 kg (samples and urgent top-ups), 6–9 days door-to-door. Sea freight LCL: from ~500 kg, 4–6 weeks, dramatically lower per-kg cost. Full container (FCL) for restaurant chains and distributors. Most restaurants run a monthly sea shipment + air top-ups between.
