We're happy to announce that Kfriday has updated its prepaid Duties & Taxes policy for shipments to the United States.

This update applies to both K-Packet and EMS shipments bound for the U.S.

📅 Effective: Orders requesting shipping from April 14, 18:00 KST onwards.

Shipping Details

• The declared value of your package must be under USD 800.
• Duties, taxes, and related costs will be charged together with your shipping fee at checkout.
• Korea Post will take care of customs clearance, so you can receive your package without any extra charges upon delivery.

Updated Prepaid Duties & Taxes Breakdowns

To help reduce the customs burden on our customers, we have updated our prepaid amount calculation.

Our prepaid amount is based on Kfriday's predictive model, which considers the following:

• HS code–based tariff rate: 1.5% of the declared value → 0% of the declared value
• Reciprocal tariffs: 15% of the declared value →

1. 0% of the declared value for Photocard & CD/Albums
2. 15% of the declared value for all other items

• Carrier service fees

⚠️ Please Note:

• The final customs assessment may vary, but no additional charges or refunds will be made even if the actual duties differ from the prepaid amount.
• The prepaid duties & taxes rates above are subject to change in accordance with updates to U.S. trade policies or adjustments to actual customs duties assessed. Any changes will be announced in advance.

💡 Shipping calculator prices shown on Kfriday do not include taxes. You’ll see the prepaid duties & taxes clearly listed on your invoice when paying for shipping.
