Air freight from Incheon (ICN) or Busan (PUS) reaches the US and the main European hubs in about a day door-to-door — ideal for semiconductors, electronics and time-critical cargo. Sea freight is the most economical mode for volume: Busan to the US West Coast runs 12–16 days transpacific, and to North Europe (Rotterdam, Hamburg) 28–35 days via Suez. Transit times are indicative and depend on the carrier's service loop and routing. ### How long does sea freight from Busan take? Indicative from Busan: China (Shanghai/Qingdao) 1–3 days; Japan (Tokyo/Osaka) 1–2 days; Vietnam 4–7 days; Singapore 5–8 days; the US West Coast 12–16 days transpacific; India (Nhava Sheva) 12–18 days; the UAE 18–24 days; North Europe and Turkey 26–35 days via Suez. FCL (20'/40') and LCL groupage are both available. LCL adds 3–5 days for consolidation and deconsolidation. ### Can you ship intra-Asia from Korea to China, Japan and Southeast Asia? Yes. Intra-Asia is one of Korea's busiest export lanes. Short-sea services from Busan reach China in 1–3 days, Japan in 1–2 days, and Vietnam and Southeast Asia in 4–10 days, with frequent sailings and daily air options. We handle the customs formalities at both ends and consolidate cargo for fast regional distribution. ### Which ports and airports do you work with in South Korea? Sea: Busan (KRPUS) — one of the world's busiest ports and the transshipment hub of Northeast Asia — Incheon (KRINC), Gwangyang (KRKAN) and Ulsan (KRUSN). Air: Incheon (ICN) — a top global cargo gateway — and Gimhae Busan (PUS). We arrange pickup from any region, including the Seoul capital area and the southern industrial belt. ### Do you handle semiconductor, battery and EV-component exports? Yes. Semiconductors are Korea's leading export, and EV batteries are among the fastest-growing. We handle high-value, sensitive electronics with secure air freight, and lithium batteries as dangerous goods with the required UN packaging, declarations and carrier approvals. We advise on classification and compliance before booking. ### What export documents does a Korean exporter need? Standard documents: commercial invoice, packing list, the customs export declaration through UNI-PASS, the transport document — bill of lading (sea) or airway bill (air) — and a certificate of origin. Korea has a wide FTA network (KORUS with the US, the EU, China, ASEAN and others), so a preferential origin declaration can often reduce duties. We advise on documentation before shipment. ### What goods are commonly exported from South Korea? Leading Korean exports include semiconductors and electronics, automobiles and auto parts, machinery and equipment, steel and petrochemicals, and EV batteries and components. High-value and time-sensitive cargo moves by air, while vehicles, machinery and containerised consignments move by sea from Busan and the main gateways. ### How quickly can I get a freight quote?
