AliExpress ships heavily to Korea, but English input is recommended over Korean. Korean text can fail to render at the China-shipping and customs stages, causing delays.
1. English vs. Korean
The safest choice is English plus an accurate 5-digit postal code. English keeps the shipping label intact and matches customs records correctly. The Korean address converter has an AliExpress format that splits the fields for you.
2. Filling in the fields
- Country/Region — South Korea
- Province — city/province (e.g., Seoul, Gyeonggi-do)
- City — district/city (e.g., Gangnam-gu)
- Street Address — road name + unit (e.g., 123 Teheran-ro, Apt 101-202)
- ZIP — 5-digit postal code
3. Personal customs code (PCCC)
AliExpress requires a customs code for Korea. Enter the 13-character code (P + 12 digits) in the Personal Customs Clearance Code field. The name on the code must match the orderer.
4. Checklist if your parcel doesn't arrive
- Is the postal code 5 digits (not the old 6)?
- Does the customs code name match the orderer?
- Is the phone in +82 format?
- Is the unit number included in the Street Address?
The Korean address converter outputs an AliExpress-ready format you can copy and paste directly.
