Korean Address Blog

These guides cover the practical side of using a Korean address abroad: how to fit a Korean address into shopping-site forms, what the postal code and personal customs code (PCCC) are, and what to check before you pay. Every article is written around the same principle — a Korean address maps cleanly onto Western forms once you know which part goes where: the district (-gu) belongs in the City field, the province or metropolitan city (Seoul, Busan, Gyeonggi-do) in State/Province, and the 5-digit postal code in ZIP.

If you just need a converted address rather than an explanation, the converter takes a Korean address in Korean or English and returns the official romanized form, split into Amazon and AliExpress fields with copy buttons. The guides below are for the cases the converter can't decide for you — visa paperwork, customs codes, and forms that ask unfamiliar questions.
