South Korea is an important market for China's textile and branded consumer goods exports, with an expected import volume of over 8.5 billion US dollars by 2026. However, South Korean customs implement a "three in one" review mechanism for imported textiles, and the data of invoices, packing lists, and certificates of origin must be strictly matched. Brand goods also undergo strict intellectual property verification. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the entire shipping process from Guangzhou, Dongguan, Shenzhen to South Korea, helping you comply with regulations and efficiently seize the South Korean market.

1、 Shenzhen to South Korea - Asian brand bags, jerseys, sea freight prices, timeliness, and service models

Departing from Yantian in Shenzhen, Nansha in Guangzhou, or Dongguan Port, it provides direct access to major ports in South Korea such as Busan, Incheon, and Gwangyang. It is mainly divided into two modes: FCL (Full Container Load) and LCL (Less than Container Load).

-FCL (Full Container Load): The sea voyage takes about 7-10 days, and the entire journey takes about 12-20 days (including customs clearance and delivery).

-LCL (Less than Container Load): The sea voyage takes about 3-6 days, and the entire journey takes about 14-22 days. The reference price for LCL freight is $15- $35/CBM (only for sea freight).

South Korean customs support pre clearance, and goods can be submitted with documents in advance while they are still in the country. They can be released directly upon arrival at the port. During peak season (June September), it is recommended to book the shipment 2-3 weeks in advance. We offer a fixed price package that includes sea freight, domestic trailer customs clearance, Korean import customs clearance, customs duties, 10% value-added tax, and final delivery. The price is negotiable on a case by case basis.

Tax reference: HS codes for clothing and textiles are included in Chapters 61-62, with a most favored nation tariff of approximately 13% and a value-added tax (VAT) of 10%, calculated as (CIF price+tariff) x 10%. Holders of the China Korea FTA Certificate of Origin (FORM K) or RCEP Certificate of Origin can enjoy tariff benefits. Taking knitted women's clothing as an example, the RCEP tariff is only 6.5%, and choosing RCEP can result in nearly half of the tariff compared to China Korea FTA provinces.

2、 Shenzhen to South Korea Asian brand bags, jerseys, sea freight customs clearance documents and procedures

1. Core document list: Commercial invoice (must indicate HS code, CIF value, complete product description, fiber content must be completely consistent with the physical label, and vague words such as "clothing batch" are prohibited), packing list, original/electronic bill of lading, FORM K China Korea FTA Certificate of Origin or RCEP Certificate of Origin, Korean importer's business license, and customs clearance authorization letter.

2. Additional documents for brand bags: Original and stamped official authorization letter for the brand (authorization scope must specify production, export to Korea, and sales, with a validity period covering this shipment), original factory purchase voucher, counter purchase invoice, and brand trademark registration certificate. Korean customs will verify the authenticity and authorized area of the authorization, and unauthorized goods will be detained.

3. Customs clearance process: After booking in China, South Korea will receive notification of arrival at the port. Documents must be provided for EDI electronic declaration at the time of booking, and a penalty of approximately $100-150 per instance will be incurred if provided upon arrival at the port. The bill of lading must display the detailed contact information and business license number of the Korean buyer. After the goods arrive at the port, they are declared through an electronic system. The normal customs clearance period is 3-7 working days, and the inspection of the goods may be extended. After customs clearance is completed, it will be delivered to the customer's designated address.

3、 Notes on Shipping Asian Brand Bags and jerseys from Shenzhen to South Korea - "Three Hard Thresholds" of South Korean Customs

Hard threshold one: The origin label must be a washed label (sewn label)

South Korea has strict regulations on the origin labeling of clothing and textiles: the origin labeling must be sewn and washed, and the pasted origin labeling is invalid. Each piece of clothing must be sewn with a washing label, indicating the Korean product name, fiber composition (with an error of no more than 3%), origin ("Made in China"), KS standard Korean washing symbol, size, and manufacturer/importer information. If the ingredient list does not match the test report, there may be a penalty of 5% of the value of the goods for return or shipment.

Hard threshold 2: Textile safety testing report

South Korea requires all clothing to provide textile safety testing reports from KOLAS accredited laboratories. Adult underwear/sleepwear must have a formaldehyde content of ≤ 75mg/kg, and non close fitting outerwear must have a formaldehyde content of ≤ 300mg/kg. 24 carcinogenic azo dyes, pH values, color fastness, heavy metals, etc. must be uniformly and forcibly tested. Infant and child clothing must hold a KC safety confirmation certificate, which is held by a local importer in South Korea. Domestic CNAS reports are highly likely not to be recognized by South Korean customs, and priority must be given to issuing KOLAS laboratory reports.

Hard threshold three: brand authorization and intellectual property verification

South Korean customs strictly inspect cross-border intellectual property infringement, and brand bags must prepare the original brand authorization letter, original factory purchase certificate, and trademark registration certificate. The scope of authorization must clearly cover exports to South Korea, with a validity period covering this shipment. Customs will verify the authenticity of the authorization and the authorized area. Unauthorized and counterfeit goods are strictly prohibited. If a full container is seized, the goods will be confiscated and destroyed, and the destruction fee will be borne by the shipper, who will also face high fines. The value of goods must be declared truthfully, and underreporting luxury goods can easily trigger high taxes and administrative penalties.

4、 Shipping packaging requirements for bags and jerseys of Asian brands from Shenzhen to South Korea

1. Key points of brand bag packaging:

-Genuine leather bag: Each bag is filled with filling paper or bubble wrap to support its shape, wrapped in a non-woven bag, and individually packed in a box with partitions between the boxes.

-Metal hardware accessories: Pay attention to fixing and scratch resistance, and use soft paper to isolate between hardware components.

-Gift box package: first wrap the outside of the gift box with foam film and then box it. There is no gap between the boxes to prevent squeezing and collapse.

-Outer box labeling: The outer box is labeled with the "MADE IN CHINA" origin label, with the shipping mark and destination port code in English. Do not write the brand name on the outer box, use code identification to prevent theft of the trunk.

2. Key packaging points for jerseys (textiles):

-Packaged in transparent sealed bags or moisture-proof bags to prevent dust and moisture.

-Jerseys belong to the category of lightweight products. It is recommended to vacuum compress packaging or fold them into bags, which can reduce the volume of cardboard boxes by 40-50%.

-The outer layer uses five layers of double corrugated cardboard boxes. According to the revised EPR regulations of the South Korean Ministry of Environment in 2026, the weight of paper packaging for export to South Korea must be ≥ 180g/m ². Any weight below this value is considered as "non recyclable thin cardboard" and the entire batch will be rejected. High strength corrugated cardboard boxes will be given priority for use.

-The sealing of cardboard boxes must be done with high-strength waterproof tape (width ≥ 5cm).

-It is prohibited to use old cardboard boxes or packaging with other brand logos.

-The textile label must be a sewn and washed label, indicating the percentage of fiber composition, washing instructions, and place of origin in Korean.

-Packaging materials should have characteristics such as waterproofing, moisture resistance, and shock resistance.
