AliExpress ships heavily to Korea, but entering the address in English is strongly recommended to prevent label errors at the China shipping and customs stages.
Step 1. Convert to English
Use the Korean address converter to get the English version. Select the AliExpress format tab and copy each field directly.
Step 2. Fill in each field
| AliExpress Field | What to Enter | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Country/Region | Country | South Korea |
| Province | City/Province | Seoul / Gyeonggi-do |
| City | District/City | Gangnam-gu |
| Street Address | Road name + unit | 123 Teheran-ro, Apt 101-202 |
| ZIP Code | 5-digit postal code | 06234 |
| Phone | +82 format | +82-10-1234-5678 |
Step 3. Enter your PCCC
In the Personal Customs Clearance Code field, enter your 13-character code (P + 12 digits). The name on the code must match the buyer.
Delivery troubleshooting checklist
- Is the postal code 5 digits (not the old 6)?
- Does the PCCC name match the buyer?
- Is the phone in +82 format?
- Is the unit number included in Street Address?
FAQ
Can I use Korean characters?
Korean text often causes label errors in China. English input is safer and recommended.
Where is Address Line 2 on AliExpress?
AliExpress usually combines it into one Street Address field — add the unit there: 123 Teheran-ro, Apt 101-202.
The Korean address converter outputs an AliExpress-ready format you can copy and paste.
What goes in each field
AliExpress orders its form as Province (the wide unit: Seoul, Busan, Gyeonggi-do), City (the district or city: Gangnam-gu, Suwon-si), Street (building number + road name, then unit: 152 Teheran-ro, Apt 101-1502), and a 5-digit Zip code. The Street field is one of the tighter ones on major sites, so shorten unit words — Apartment to Apt, Building to Bldg — but never shorten the road or district names themselves; those must match Korean postal records.
The customs-code field
For Korean addresses the address editor includes a slot for the Personal Customs Clearance Code (PCCC) — "P" plus 12 digits. Save it once and it applies to future orders. It must belong to the actual recipient; see the PCCC guide for how the recipient obtains one in minutes.
Three mistakes that cause returns
- Wrong phone format — use +82 and drop the leading zero. Delivery staff text this number at the door.
- Mixed Korean characters — a single Hangul syllable left in the form can break label printing. Keep every field in Roman letters.
- The old 6-digit postcode — formats like 135-080 were retired; only the current 5-digit code validates.
Before paying, paste the finished address into the address checker (Korean UI) — it flags translated place names, missing hyphens, and format slips automatically.
