Myeongu-ku LEE,
The Commissioner of the Korea Customs Service welcomes you.
Welcome to the Official Website of the Korea Customs Service (KCS).
The Korea Customs Service is now committed to realizing the new vision, “Korea Customs Service, leading fair and shared growth with Artificial Intelligence (AI).”
We safeguard our borders and society by facilitating the swift clearance of legitimate imports and exports while rigorously blocking goods that threaten national security and public safety―such as narcotics, firearms and explosives linked to terrorism, and unsafe foods and products.
As a key contributor to national finance, the KCS collects around 20% of total government revenue every year and upholds fair trade practices by cracking down on trade-based economic offenses and transnational crimes.
Furthermore, we are upgrading customs administration through cutting-edge AI technologies, widening public trade data sharing with industries, and proactive support for businesses―such as promoting the effective use of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). We are also strengthening international cooperation with customs and enforcement authorities worldwide.
This website has been designed to provide clear and accessible information for businesses, citizens, and consumers across the globe. It is also expected to work as a platform for you to share your valuable insights and suggestions, which help shape our policies and services.
We invite you to explore a wide range of information and services available under the “About Us,” “News,” “Individuals,” “Businesses,” “Other Information,” and “Q&A/FAQ” sections which would support your trade activities and international travel.
I look forward to your continued interest and participation in this website and customs administration.
Thank you.
