Entering a Korean address on Amazon trips up many shoppers because Korean addresses are written in the reverse order of Western ones. This guide explains how to write a Korean address in English and enter it correctly on Amazon.
1. Convert your address to English first
Use the Korean address converter to turn a Korean-language address into English. You can search by road name, lot number, or building name. Then copy each value from the Amazon-formatted result.
2. Filling in Amazon's fields
- Address Line 1 — road name + building number (e.g., 123 Teheran-ro)
- Address Line 2 — building/unit (e.g., Apt 101-1502)
- City — district (e.g., Gangnam-gu)
- State/Province — city/province (e.g., Seoul)
- ZIP Code — 5-digit postal code
- Country — South Korea
3. Direct shipping vs. forwarding
- Direct shipping (Amazon Global) — Amazon ships to your Korean home. Enter your Korean address in English.
- Forwarding service — For items Amazon won't ship to Korea, enter the forwarder's US address on Amazon, and register your Korean address on the forwarder's site.
