Shipping to Incheon and Seoul
Incheon, west of Seoul, has Korea's second-largest port and its main international airport. It is the gateway for the Seoul metropolitan area, home to half of Korea's population.
Commercial cargo only. Under the current tariff, personal effects and household goods to Seoul and Incheon are not accepted; for household goods, use Busan. Commercial importers in the capital region receive goods through Incheon and clear them with a licensed customs broker.
Incheon's Songdo international business district hosts international companies and universities, and many commercial shipments go there.
Incheon's port is close to the airport, which makes it a hub for combined sea-air logistics, and its free economic zone offers tax benefits to foreign companies. The subway connects Incheon with central Seoul in about an hour, and most importers in the capital region have warehouses in Incheon or Gyeonggi province.
