Individual Customs Clearance Code (IPIN) is a personal identification code used when purchasing goods overseas and declaring imports.

Previously, the use of either a resident registration number or an individual customs clearance code was optional when declaring customs for imported goods from overseas. However, since March 2015, the use of the individual customs clearance code has become mandatory.

As it is essential for domestic customs clearance of overseas purchased items, we strongly recommend obtaining it in advance and provide guidance on the issuance process.

※ Before obtaining the individual customs clearance code, you need a mobile phone or public certificate in your name!

First, access the dedicated website for the Individual Customs Clearance Code provided by the Korea Customs Service (https://unipass.customs.go.kr/csp/persIndex.do).

Choose the method of identity verification (mobile phone authentication or public certification) and enter your name and resident registration number. Then, click the confirmation button to proceed with the authentication process.

Upon registration, you will be issued a personal customs clearance code starting with "P." Remember this code and use it conveniently instead of your resident registration number every time you go through customs clearance.
