Published
THE CAST has published a shopping guide comparing its listed Korea Post EMS reference rates for Japan and Canada. The retailer-authored guide uses 500 g and 1 kg parcel examples to help shoppers interpret destination and weight bands.
Reference examples, not final quotes
The guide reports reference rates checked on November 12, 2026: Japan is listed at KRW 26,000 for 500 g and KRW 28,500 for 1 kg; Canada is listed at KRW 30,000 and KRW 36,000 respectively. It does not announce a change in postal rates.
What shoppers should check
The article notes that weight includes packaging, the final charge can change after parcel checks including volumetric weight, and destination taxes and clearance fees are excluded from the reference table. Shoppers should confirm destination eligibility and the final order quote before paying.
