🇸🇬 Korea → Singapore
Shipping from Korea to Singapore.
At the carrier’s own rate.
Something left at a hotel, a parcel that arrived after you flew out, or an item only sold in Korea. A person in Seoul collects it, photographs it so you know it’s the right thing, repacks it, and sends it to Singapore.

Carriers charge on volumetric weight when a box is large but light. Korea Post divides length by width by height in centimetres by 6,000; FedEx, UPS and DHL divide by 5,000, so the same box weighs 20% more with them. We tell you the chargeable weight before you pay.
How long
3–5 business days
Korea Post’s published EMS standard after dispatch, before customs clearance on arrival. Collecting and repacking in Korea usually adds a day or two.
Duty-free threshold
SGD 400
GST of 9% applies at every value. The recipient pays, and we state the expected amount in the quote before you pay.
Singapore has the lowest EMS rates from Korea on this list. Note that GST applies from the first dollar — the SGD 400 figure is the duty threshold, not a tax-free allowance.
What we cannot send
Better to know before you pay
- Rechargeable lithium batteries, power banks, anything with a built-in battery — this rules out most K-pop light sticks (AA-battery models are fine)
- Perfume, nail polish remover, all aerosols and sprays
- Magnets, vapes, alcohol, tobacco
