Import duty on Korean skincare
Two lines decide what a Korean skincare order costs at the door: the shop's free-shipping threshold and the border's exemption. They sit at different amounts, and neither is the price you were quoted. Here is where both fall, for every shop and country nuvy knows.

What does each country charge?
| Country | Charged above | Rate | Rule checked |
|---|---|---|---|
| the United States | every parcel | 12.5% | 2026-10-03 |
| Singapore | $311.76 | 9% | 2026-10-02 |
| the Philippines | $158.93 | 12% + duty | 2026-10-03 |
| Canada | $14.06 | 5% + duty | 2026-10-02 |
The threshold is written in the country's own currency; the USD figure is nuvy's arithmetic at a dated rate, not a published line. Every rule carries the day a person last read it — these change, so an old date is a reason to verify before ordering.
