Livestock products such as meat, sausage, and jerky, and fresh fruit that a traveler carries in mostly cannot be brought in. If you brought some, be sure to declare it at the airport quarantine counter.
📌 Key points
If you bring something in without declaring and are caught, a fine of up to 10 million won can be imposed. Even an item that can be brought in cannot enter without the exporting country's quarantine certificate. Processed items such as jerky, blood sausage, sausage, ham, cheese, and eggs, and fruit are also items you must declare.
