Business Shipping Guide: India to South Korea
Everything exporters, Amazon sellers and manufacturers need to ship commercially to Korea — documents, consolidation and compliance.
Key takeaways

- Consolidating supplier orders at our warehouse cuts per-kg cost and customs entries.
- Regular shippers get a dedicated specialist and volume pricing.
Quick answer
Business shipping from India to South Korea requires commercial invoices, packing lists, correct HS classification and proper customs clearance. ShipKorea.in provides in-house documentation, warehouse consolidation, DDP delivery and a dedicated specialist for regular shippers — with volume pricing from ₹609/kg and a flat ₹350/kg duty-unpaid option for commercial cargo.
Who this is for
Exporters, manufacturers, D2C brands, Amazon and Shopify sellers, and traders sourcing or selling into Korea. Whether you ship a few commercial parcels a month or regular bulk consignments, the right setup cuts cost, speeds clearance and keeps your Korean customers happy.
Documentation you'll need
Commercial shipments need a commercial invoice, packing list, and accurate product descriptions with per-item values. For formal exports an IEC (Import Export Code) is generally required. We prepare and review all of this with you so it matches the shipment exactly and clears customs without queries.
Consolidation to cut cost
Combine multiple supplier orders or SKUs into a single shipment at our warehouse to lower your per-kg cost and reduce the number of customs entries. Consolidation is one of the most effective ways to improve your landed cost and unit economics on cross-border sales.
DDP vs commercial DDU
Choose DDP so your Korean customers pay no duty on delivery — ideal for D2C and marketplace orders. Or use our flat ₹350/kg commercial duty-unpaid (DDU) option for cargo where the importer of record settles duty. We'll recommend the best fit for your business model and margins.
HS codes, duty and CEPA
We classify your products with correct HS codes and estimate duty and 10% VAT accurately. Many goods qualify for reduced or zero duty under the India-Korea CEPA with a valid Certificate of Origin — a significant saving on regular volume, which we help you claim.
For Amazon & Shopify sellers
Ship individual orders door-to-door as they come in, or send stock in bulk to a Korean address for faster local fulfilment. DDP delivery means buyers pay nothing on arrival — protecting your reviews and cutting refused deliveries and returns that hurt marketplace ranking.
Reliability and tracking
Every commercial shipment gets live tracking, in-house customs handling on both sides, and free insurance up to ₹15,000 (top-up available for higher-value cargo). Direct routing via Incheon delivers in as fast as 5 days — far more predictable than postal EMS for business use.

Regular shippers get scheduled pickups, consolidated invoicing, volume rates from ₹609/kg and a dedicated account specialist. Contact us with your typical monthly volume, product type and destinations for a tailored commercial quote and onboarding.
