The fee items for third-country re-export trade in South Korea are usually quite diverse. Firstly, there are transportation costs, which include sea or air freight costs from the origin port to the South Korean transit port, and transportation costs from South Korea to the destination port after transit. The fee standard will depend on the cargo's volume, weight, transportation method, and distance.
Secondly, there are warehousing fees. If goods need temporary storage during transit in South Korea, warehousing fees will be incurred, generally calculated based on the storage time and occupied space.
There are also document processing fees, used for preparing and processing various documents required for re-export trade, such as bills of lading, packing lists, etc.
In addition, there might be some additional fees, such as customs declaration fees, loading and unloading fees, etc. Cargo type and quantity indeed affect the fees; for instance, the transportation and warehousing costs for hazardous goods are higher.
