What does it actually cost a US shopper to receive a K-beauty order from each retailer?
We have sourced shipping terms for 16 of the 21 retailers below.
A listed price isn't a landed price: shipping and import duty can add to it. Terms with sources are shown as captured on the date listed. Last checked September 27, 2026. The record holds 1,107 captures over 35 days since August 30, 2026.
Import duty handling by cross-border retailers
Based on the published policies of the 10 retailers shipping from Korea or Hong Kong for which we hold a sourced duty policy.

| Collected at checkout | AMORE MALL, DodoSkin, MUSINSA, StyleKorean (4) |

Since the end of US duty-free entry for low-value parcels, a retailer's duty handling determines whether the listed price is the final price. Policies as published on September 27, 2026.

"Not yet captured" means we have not yet recorded this retailer's published terms — it is our gap, not a claim about the retailer. "Retailer doesn't say" means we checked the retailer's published policy and it does not state this. We don't estimate duty. Method: method & exclusions.
