Chinese e-commerce, let South Korean customs "burst the warehouse"?
According to Korean media reports, South Korean Customs is experiencing the longest "explosion" in history. Recently, the General Administration of Customs of South Korea said that due to the surge in packages from China's e-commerce platform AliExpress, Pyeongtaek Customs clearance congestion is currently underway, and there are month-long delays in the logistics of consumers. In this regard, the relevant person in charge of AliExpress said that the demand of Korean consumers for mobile phone accessories, outdoor camping, women's clothing, and small household appliances has increased sharply, and they are actively communicating and cooperating with the authorities to ensure that customs clearance problems are solved as soon as possible. Third-party data shows that as of April this year, AliExpress's monthly active users in South Korea increased by 128% in two years.
