Customs inspection is required for international passengers entering Korea. After collecting baggage, travelers proceed to customs control to declare items when necessary.

The declaration process is managed by the Korea Customs Service, which enforces regulations on imported goods, currency, and restricted items. Travelers carrying high-value goods, large amounts of currency, or controlled items must complete a customs declaration form.

Duty-free allowances apply to certain personal goods, including limited quantities of alcohol, tobacco, and gifts. Items exceeding allowance limits may be subject to tax.

Customs officers may inspect baggage using scanning equipment or manual checks. Cooperation with officers helps ensure faster processing.

Electronic declaration systems may be available at major airports to speed up entry procedures.

Passengers unsure about declaration requirements should consult customs officers before leaving the inspection area. Following customs regulations helps prevent fines or confiscation of goods.
