What is a personal customs code?
In Korea, you must enter a unique personal customs code when you buy goods from abroad. This number is a unique code for personal identification and consists of a 13-digit number that begins with a P.
Only one number can be issued per individual for personal customs clearance, and if you do not remember or lose your existing number after issuance, you can reissue it and use it.
All personal customs clearance codes can only be issued through the Korea Customs Service.
