South Korea’s Korea Customs Service clears relocating students through the personal effects declaration filed at Incheon or the destination customs office. Students holding a D-2 visa — degree-seeking — and enrolled at Seoul National University, KAIST, or Yonsei import used personal effects duty-free, provided the items were owned and used abroad. Hundreds of Hyderabad parents have shipped their child’s trunk through SLP Express, and the KCS officer wants the D-2 visa number paired with the university’s certificate of admission. SLP Express builds that pairing before pickup. New items above USD 150 in total attract duty and VAT. We itemise new and used separately so the relief applies only to qualifying goods. DHL reaches Korean addresses in three to five working days, and clearance at Incheon is usually completed within hours of the parcel’s arrival.
A 30 kg trunk on a Hyderabad-to-Seoul flight costs ₹22,000 in excess charges; SLP Express sends the same weight via DHL to SNU’s Gwanak residence or KAIST’s student housing for under ₹15,000, delivered to the campus address. Hundreds of Hyderabad parents have shipped their child’s trunk ahead of the student’s flight, and the KCS officer at Incheon clears it faster when the D-2 visa and the admission certificate travel together. Our packing is complimentary and triple-layered: vacuum-sealed clothing, foam-protected laptops, double-boxed kitchen items separated from books. Korean customs is efficient when the declaration is complete. DHL reaches Korean addresses in three to five working days. WhatsApp tracking from pickup to delivery, scan by scan.

What Korea Customs Service (KCS) officers actually check. What we attach to every baggage parcel before it leaves Hyderabad.
A Transfer of Residence concession may apply to eligible returning residents, students or relocating professionals. Eligibility, document requirements and duty treatment depend on destination rules and personal circumstances, so confirmation from the receiving authority or a qualified broker may be required.
TR form support is also available for used goods shipped as personal effects — we help you document items correctly so they qualify as used personal belongings rather than commercial imports.
Packing is selected to limit unused volume, separate fragile items and suit the selected carrier's handling and chargeable-weight rules.
Clothes, bedding, winter wear, and soft goods are vacuum-sealed to compress volume by up to 40%. Every cubic centimetre saved reduces your volumetric weight — directly lowering the final shipping cost. Your student can ship more for the same price.
Electronics, kitchenware, and fragile items are wrapped individually in bubble-wrap and packed inside a corrugated reinforced inner box. Every item is photographed before sealing — creating a photographic inventory record for your reference and for any insurance claim.
Export-grade 7-ply corrugated outer carton, double-taped seams, heavy-duty strapping bands, and customs-ready labelling. Built to withstand cargo-hold stacking, conveyor belts, and the full international transit journey to South Korea.
