Buying K-beauty from Japan or Canada: reading EMS reference rates
How destination and packed weight affect listed EMS reference rates.
THE CAST is a Korea-based online shop for Korean beauty products. Its K-beauty page publishes Korea Post EMS reference rates for different destinations and packed weights. These examples were checked on November 12, 2026; rates and availability may change.
Compare the same weight bands
The published table lists Japan at KRW 26,000 for 500 g and KRW 28,500 for 1 kg. For Canada it lists KRW 30,000 for 500 g and KRW 36,000 for 1 kg. These are reference rates, not a guaranteed final charge.
Check the packed weight and final total
Weights include packaging, so product weight alone does not establish shipping weight. THE CAST notes that the final charge can change after parcel checks, including volumetric weight. Destination taxes and clearance fees are not included in the table.
Browse current K-beauty listings, select the item and destination, and confirm eligibility, shipping and the final order quote before paying. Contact customer support if details are unclear.
