ORIGIN NETWORK

Busan, Incheon & Seoul Logistics Coordination

The most suitable export gateway depends on supplier location, freight method, commodity, schedule and the final European destination.

TRANSPORT STRATEGY

Sea Freight or Air Freight from Korea to Europe?

Rather than forcing every shipment into one transport mode, BRF can compare cargo size, urgency, routing and European delivery requirements before selecting the international leg.

OCEAN ROUTE

DDP Sea Freight from Korea to Europe

Best suited to larger, heavier or regular commercial cargo where ocean freight provides a more practical cost structure.

  • FCL full-container transportation
  • LCL consolidated ocean freight
  • 20GP / 40GP / 40HQ equipment
  • European port customs coordination
  • Port-to-warehouse final trucking
DDP Sea Freight to Europe
AIR ROUTE

DDP Air Freight from Korea to Europe

Designed for urgent replenishment, electronics, components, samples and other time-sensitive commercial cargo.

  • Standard and priority air freight
  • Supplier pickup to export airport
  • Airline booking and cargo handling
  • EU arrival and customs coordination
  • Airport-to-door European delivery
DDP Air Freight to Europe
Sea + Truck Ocean freight into Europe followed by inland road delivery.
Air + Truck Air cargo into a European gateway followed by final-mile trucking.
Multimodal → Combined transport when one single mode is not the best overall solution.

OCEAN OPERATIONS

FCL & LCL Planning for Korea–Europe Cargo

For ocean shipments, the decision between FCL and LCL should consider not only the headline freight rate but also cargo volume, handling, destination charges and final delivery.

FCL Dedicated container for larger commercial shipments.
LCL Consolidated option for smaller cargo volumes.
20GP Useful for smaller or relatively dense FCL cargo.
40GP / 40HQ Common solutions for larger-volume cargo.

KOREAN ORIGIN & EU DUTY

EU–Korea Trade Agreement: Origin Still Matters

Korean-origin goods may have different tariff treatment from goods that are merely shipped from Korea. The applicable treatment should be checked against the actual product, origin rules and import documentation.

IMPORTANT DDP POINT

Shipping from Korea does not automatically mean zero import duty.

Preferential tariff treatment may be available for qualifying goods under the EU–Republic of Korea trade framework, but the product must satisfy the applicable origin requirements and supporting evidence.
