Country Information
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea, or North Korea as its more commonly known in the West is one of the most fascinating countries we offer parcel delivery to, purely because of their self-imposed isolation from the west of the world. Of course this situation arose out of the Second World War where the northern half was controlled by the Soviet Union and the southern by the United States.
The country has a highly centralised command economy where the central government establishes what is to be purchased and sold at what price. Interestingly North Korea has significant deposits of minerals and fossil fuels which it could exploit on the international market, but has chosen to restrict access, although international trade does exist, with 70 per cent being with China.
Customs Information
As international trade with North Korea from the UK is limited, they have little need for a website detailing customs restrictions. We can point you to the North Korea profile on the Foreign & Commonwealth Office website and the UK in DPRK website and telephone number (0) 2 382 7980.
It was very easy to set up the package details, the contents and the sender/receiver details. Even better it creates the invoice/customs documents. All went like clockwork.... Including customs clearance
Easy and straightforward to organise a parcel delivery, print own label and dropping it off at the Post Office. I chose Parcelforce which was very efficient. For my second parcel, I had a little problem with the limited number of spaces to fill in the address and I couldn’t complete it as address was longer so had to go to Parcelforce’s own site to order a delivery which is slightly higher priced. Would have preferred to use Parcel Monkey for the better prices. Please sort out the forms filling, thanks.
The ordering, price and pick up was fine. There was no mention that the recipient in France would have to pay €15 for the package to be delivered with no reason stated. The parcel had not been opened by the French authorities. The contents of the package was well within the declared weight and size. The contents value was accurately described and valued and within the value limits, all accurately declared on the export form that was clearly attached to the parcel. The contents were redirected mail and childrens clothes. I still do not know why the delivery charge was made.
