Plan around local peaks in Seoul
Weather and season: Monsoon (late June to July) brings heavy rain. We build buffer time into routings and switch to alternative airports when needed.
Holidays: In South Korea, Seollal (Lunar New Year) and Chuseok (September/October) can slow down customs, airlines and trucking. Book early and send documents in advance around these dates.
Customs clearance in Seoul
Every import and export from Seoul needs a customs declaration. In South Korea, customs clearance is handled by a dedicated partner team that works under the Ziem Logistics brand, to our procedures and with the shipment data we prepare. You deal only with Ziem Logistics, from booking to release.
