South Korea–EU: prove preferential origin

South Korea–EU: prove preferential origin

The issue

The EU–South Korea agreement may offer benefits, but a Korean seller’s address is insufficient. Goods must satisfy the applicable origin rules and evidence requirements.

What to prepare

Check classification, processing and manufacturer records before confirming price. Verify conditions for the person issuing origin evidence. Technical requirements and importer responsibilities still need separate checks.

Official and primary sources

General information, not advice on an individual case. Sources consulted on 22 October 2026: check updates before acting. The overall portal review is ongoing. This note does not certify a complete check of every page.
