Korea Customs Service

Issuance of personal customs clearance code

• In order to protect personal information, the Korea Customs Service operates a system that utilizes personal customs clearance codes instead of resident registration numbers when lodging import declaration of personal items. In case of foreigners, they can report their imports using their passport number or alien registration number, so they do not need to have a personal customs clearance code, but if they want to receive a personal customs clearance code to protect their personal information, they can apply to Customs with the alien registration number given by the immigration office.

If you want to apply, please proceed to the issuance site below.
