Yes, you can ship electronics internationally, but it's complex due to regulations, especially for items with lithium batteries, requiring proper packaging (anti-static, secure), correct customs forms (HS codes), and specific carrier rules for dangerous goods (HAZMAT) to avoid customs delays, fire risks, or seizure, with major carriers like DHL and FedEx offering specialized services.

Shipping from Korea varies greatly, from around $30 for small, light items (USPS First-Class) to potentially hundreds for heavier boxes via premium couriers (EMS/DHL), with surface mail being cheapest but taking months, depending on weight, destination (e.g., US, Australia), speed (air/sea), and courier (Korea Post, DHL, UPS). Expect minimum $50 for a small box by air, but larger, heavier shipments can cost significantly more, with rates per kg dropping as weight increases.
