International Removals to and from Incheon
Customs office, port authority and the airport zone
A few short questions. Nothing is sent until you check and confirm.
Which customs office clears household goods at Incheon?
The Korea Customs Service names one. Its moving page lists “Incheon Port, Import Facilitation Section 3” as a contact for household goods, alongside offices for Seoul, Daejeon and Yongdang.
The page gives the name but not the area it covers, so ask the mover whether a shipment for Seoul or Gyeonggi is lodged here. The duty-free allowance, the six-month rule and the documents are on the South Korea customs page.
What do we know about the port itself?
It has its own authority. The Incheon Port Authority home page says “Incheon Port Authority was established in 2005 to develop Incheon Port as a competitive logistics base”. The sub-pages with terminals and statistics did not load, so we give no terminal list or current volume.
Wikipedia gives the ranking. Of the south coast port of Gwangyang it says “the container volume is third after Busan Port (including Busan New Port) and Incheon Port”, which makes Incheon the second container port. The port is old too: “Inhabited since the Neolithic, Incheon was home to just 4,700 people when it became an international port in 1883”.
The city is now large. The 2025 census counted 3,093,590 residents on the citypopulation.de list, close to Busan.
What are Songdo, Cheongna and Yeongjong?
They are the three districts of the free economic zone. Wikipedia says the zone “consists of the three regions of Songdo, Cheongna, and the island of Yeongjong”, and that “In 2003, the city was designated as South Korea's first free economic zone”.
Yeongjong matters most to movers. Wikipedia says the airport city “centering on the Incheon International Airport has been developed as an eco-friendly airport city and aerotropolis”. It adds that in 2024 “the Incheon International Airport was the sixth-busiest airport in the world and third in Asia by cargo traffic”.
An address in Songdo, Cheongna or Yeongjong is therefore in this city, not in Seoul, and has no separate page here. Wikipedia describes the airport as “Located 48 km (30 mi) west of Seoul”.
Is Incheon a separate move from Seoul?
The cities touch. Wikipedia says Incheon is part of the Seoul Metropolitan Area with Seoul and Gyeonggi Province, “forming the world's fourth-largest metropolitan area by population”, and Seoul alone had 9,315,066 residents in 2025.
For a household shipment that means the port, the customs office and the airport are in Incheon, while the destination is often in the capital. The final delivery is a road leg, and the building rules at the door are what we could not confirm; the Seoul page says what to ask.

Questions about moving to Incheon
Which customs office handles household goods at Incheon?
The Korea Customs Service moving page lists Incheon Port, Import Facilitation Section 3.
It does not say which addresses that office covers.
Where are Songdo, Cheongna and Yeongjong?
They are the three districts of the Incheon Free Economic Zone, so addresses there are in Incheon, not Seoul.
Yeongjong is the island around the international airport.
Is Incheon the main container port?
Wikipedia says Gwangyang is third in containers after Busan and Incheon, which makes Incheon second.
