Zollabfertigung
Shipments from Südkorea claiming KORUS FTA preferential duty treatment require a Certificate of Origin (or origin certification statement on the commercial invoice) prepared by the exporter or producer. Standard documents: commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, CBP Form 7501. Automobiles require EPA and DOT compliance documentation. Electronics require FCC compliance. Steel products may be subject to Section 232 tariffs despite KORUS FTA — certain Korean steel products are exempt under quota arrangements. ISF required 24 hours before departure.
Tarif & Abgaben
Under the KORUS FTA (US-Korea Free Trade Agreement, effective March 2012), the vast majority of Korean-origin goods enter the USA duty-free or at significantly reduced rates. Industrial goods (machinery, electronics, chemicals, plastics) are generally 0%. Automobile tariffs have been phased to 0% (after a transition period). Steel and aluminum from Südkorea may still be subject to Section 232 tariffs despite KORUS, though Korea has negotiated quota arrangements providing exemptions up to certain volume thresholds. KORUS rules-of-origin requirements must be met — goods must be sufficiently processed in Korea.
Kurzfakten
- KORUS FTA Since 2012
The US–Korea Free Trade Agreement (KORUS FTA), in force since March 2012, eliminates duties on the vast majority of Korean goods. We prepare KORUS Certificates of Origin and verify rules-of-origin compliance for every FTA shipment.

Südkorea is a major automobile and auto parts exporter to the USA (Hyundai, Kia, KIA EV6). We handle RO-RO (roll-on roll-off) for vehicles and specialized breakbulk for large auto parts.
- Busan Hub Access
Busan is one of Asia's largest container ports and a major transshipment hub. We leverage Busan's connectivity to offer competitive FCL rates to all US coasts via direct and relay services.

Mit einem Experten sprechenWhat is the KORUS FTA and how does it benefit imports from Südkorea?
KORUS (Korea–US FTA) has been in force since March 2012. It eliminated tariffs on approximately 95% of US-Korea trade from day one, with remaining tariffs phased out over time. For US importers, this means most Korean goods (electronics, machinery, chemicals, plastics, vehicles) enter the USA duty-free. A KORUS Certificate of Origin or qualifying invoice statement is required to claim preferential treatment.
How long does shipping from Südkorea to the USA take?
Ocean freight from Südkorea: Busan to Los Angeles takes approximately 18–22 Tage on direct trans-Pacific services. Busan to New York takes 24–28 Tage via the trans-Pacific route (through the Panama Canal) or slightly longer via Suez. Air freight from Incheon International Airport to US cities takes 3–6 Tage — Incheon is one of Asia's busiest air cargo hubs.
Are Korean steel products exempt from Section 232 tariffs?
Südkorea has negotiated a quota arrangement with the USA for steel products under Section 232. Korean steel exports within the agreed quota volume are exempt from the 25% Section 232 tariff. Once the quota is filled, additional Korean steel is subject to the 25% tariff. The quota resets annually. Our team monitors quota utilization and advises Korean steel importers on timing and quota status.
What are the main Korean goods shipped to the USA?
Südkorea's top exports to the USA include: consumer electronics (Samsung TVs, appliances, smartphones; LG electronics), automobiles and parts (Hyundai, Kia, Genesis), semiconductors and chips, steel and iron products, chemicals and petrochemicals, machinery and equipment, and plastics. Südkorea is consistently among the top 10 US trade partners by volume.
Do I need a Certificate of Origin to claim KORUS FTA benefits?
Under KORUS, a formal Certificate of Origin is not mandatory. The importer may make a certification claim based on a written representation by the producer or exporter, or the importer's own knowledge. However, CBP may request supporting documentation during an audit. Best practice is to obtain a KORUS Certificate of Origin from your Korean supplier for every shipment claiming FTA duty-free treatment. Suaid Global advises on KORUS documentation requirements.
What documents are required to import from Südkorea?
Required documents: ISF (24 Stunden before departure), commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, CBP Form 7501, and KORUS origin certification for FTA claims. Automobiles require EPA Form 3520-1 and DOT HS-7. Electronics require FCC compliance. Steel requires Mill Certification if subject to Section 232 quota management.
