(1) Vehicles purchased at Post Exchanges or DRMO:

(c) The individual or his agent will deliver these documents to the Korean Customs Service located in the district in which the vehicle was purchased (See appendix D).

(d) The individual will be issued an import permit by the Korean Customs Service (ROK), which will enable him to register the POV with his Area vehicle recorder. The individual will be instructed to take his POV to the nearest Customs House with the documents for a comparison of vehicle identification number (VIN) or serial number with purchase documents.

(2) Vehicle imported at personal expense.

(a) Individuals must bring the original bill of lading, purchase invoice, US Government orders, Letter of Employment, (USFK Form 700-19 A-R-E), US passport, and valid identification card to the CCO, Incheon or Daegu, depending on port of entry or where SOFA member is stationed. If necessary, proof of legal disposition of present/previous owned POV or an Exception to policy for 2nd POV (if applicable) will be required. Individuals must have more than180 days remaining in Korea. The imported POV must be in port.

(c) The individual or his authorized agent will deliver these documents to the Korea Customs House at the port of entry of the POV. Import documents will be issued and the POV will be released. The member must register the POV with his Area USFK Provost Marshal Vehicle Registration office within 10 days.

After duty-free certification from the USFK CCO, the individual or his agent will hire a Customs broker to prepare the Korea Customs Import/Export Form (must be electronically completed by a certified Customs broker) and deliver these documents to the Korea Customs office at the port of entry where final import documents will be issued. The individual will be able to pick up the cargo from the carrier’s warehouse. All expenses (e.g., storage fee, document handling charge, Customs broker’s fee, etc.,) must be paid in cash to each commercial agency for processing and release of the item(s)
