Entering a Korean address on Amazon requires converting it to English first. Korean addresses run in reverse order compared to Western addresses, so each field needs careful attention.
Step 1. Convert to English
Use the Korean address converter to convert your Korean address. Search by road name, lot number, or building name, then copy the Amazon-formatted result.
Step 2. Fill in each field
| Amazon Field | What to Enter | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Full Name | Recipient (passport name) | HONG GILDONG |
| Address Line 1 | Road name + building number | 123 Teheran-ro |
| Address Line 2 | Building/unit | Apt 101-1502 |
| City | District (-gu) | Gangnam-gu |
| State/Province | City/Province | Seoul |
| ZIP Code | 5-digit postal code | 06234 |
| Country | Country name | South Korea |
| Phone | +82 format | +82-10-1234-5678 |
Step 3. Direct shipping vs. forwarding
- Direct (Amazon Global) — Enter your Korean home address in English.
- Forwarding service — Enter the forwarder's US address on Amazon; register your Korean address on the forwarder's site.
