Service brief: distinguish EMS reference rates from an order quote
THE CAST publishes EMS reference rates for currently enabled destinations. Reference tables help with early budgeting, while the purchase flow checks selected products and the delivery address. Net product contents are not packed parcel weight. Taxes and clearance conditions should be read separately, and rates can change.

19 October 2026 — THE CAST’s current international delivery guidance distinguishes EMS reference rates from the quote for a specific order. This first-party service brief explains how customers can use both when budgeting for a K-Beauty purchase.
Reference tables support early planning
The delivery page shows currently enabled destinations and weight bands. Buyers can examine the rate relevant to their destination and packed parcel weight. Product quantities such as 50 ml or 200 ml describe net contents, not the weight of a packed shipment, so they cannot by themselves determine a shipping fee.
Use the actual basket for the purchase decision
Selecting products, quantities and the delivery destination allows the purchase flow to check eligibility and provide an order quote. An enabled country can still have item-specific restrictions. If the basket changes, the delivery result and amount should be reviewed again.
Read destination notices alongside the estimate
Taxes and clearance conditions should be considered separately from the reference rate table. Thecastshop.com links delivery guidance with the purchase flow so customers can review the information in one place. This brief is not an announcement of shipping to every country, and a reference fee should not be treated as a permanent quote for every parcel.
