We organize your relocation to South Korea

As an economically strong country with world-class consumer electronics and automotive products, a science hub, full of beautiful landscapes, saturated with cultural heritage, a long history of bilateral relations and human encounters, and a vibrant music and fashion scene, South Korea is a frequent destination for relocations. MTL co-operates closely with a Korean partner, Mr. Daniel Ho Seok Chung. In addition to relocations to the country's capital Seoul, we organize relocations to Busan, Incheon, Daegu, Daejeon, Gwangju, Suwon, Ulsan, and other places.

Conversely, we organize removals from South Korea to Germany with our partner.
Suppose you only want to take a few items with you, we can organize a shipment by lift vans or air freight. We can safely store furniture and household goods in our furniture warehouses in Friedberg and Berlin Reinickendorf until your return.


If you are moving from Korea to Germany but have not yet found a suitable apartment, we can store your household goods securely in our warehouses.

How much does a move to South Korea cost?

Depending on the volume of your removal goods and the size of the container, on shipment in lift vans or by air freight, on shipping to Seoul, Busan, Incheon, Daegu, Daejeon, Gwangju, Suwon, Ulsan, or another location in the region, the removal costs vary considerably. The respective conditions at the place of loading and unloading and special packaging requirements also play a role, as do fluctuations in the exchange rate and fuel costs. In short, the costs are as varied as the removals themselves. It all depends. In our list of frequently asked questions, the components of removal costs are explained in more detail under the question: What does a move with MTL cost? We'll be happy to explain this in person and provide you with a quote.

Would you like to pack yourself to save on moving costs? That's rather not a good idea for overseas removals. Containers are subject to strong movements during the long transportation time at sea. Moving goods that are not professionally packed and stowed may be damaged by these movements. Transport damage to self-packed removal goods is not insurable. An inventory list that is not prepared professionally can lead to delays at customs and thus to storage costs at the port. Talk to us before you start packing!

The Korean customs website provides the latest information on import clearance for removal goods.

Please note: Your removal goods must be declared at the customs office within six months of your arrival to classify as a duty-free import. There are often traffic jams at Korean ports, which may lead to delays.

 

Would you like to move back to Germany from South Korea with MTL?

It's best to contact us directly as early as possible so that we can arrange a (virtual) inspection with you to clarify the details of the move, determine the volume, and find out what service you want or need.

You can find the latest information on import customs clearance for removal goods on the German customs website.  
We will be happy to clarify open questions for you.

Can I take my car with me?

You can import your car or motorcycle to South Korea as part of the removal goods. Vehicles manufactured in South Korea are not subject to import sales tax. An inspection by the Korea Transportation Safety Authority and a certificate from the Environmental Certification lnspection Agency of Korea Environment Corporation are required for registration.

Can I take my pet with me?

Yes, if the dog or cat can be identified by microchip in accordance with ISO 11784/1178, is vaccinated against a number of diseases and an internationally recognized veterinary health certificate (EU animal health certificate or APHIS Form7001) can be presented. We will be happy to clarify the details for you.
Your airline will specify the shape and size of the transport container for your pet. Please clarify this in advance.

Can I take food with me?

In general, we do not recommend importing food together with your household effects, even though only the import of certain types of food, such as fruit and seeds, is explicitly prohibited. There are numerous other restrictive regulations indetail, compliance with which is checked by customs at the port of entry. This leads to unnecessary costs. In addition, the long sea freight through different climate zones affects the quality of food.

Can I take electrical and electronic appliances with me?

lt is possible to bring electrical and electronic appliances with you in the removal goods. At 220 volts, the voltage is almost the same as in Europe. European plugs fit into South Korean sockets.
