About gold in South Korea
Gold market in South Korea
The gold market in South Korea tracks the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) spot benchmark. Retail rates are converted from USD into KRW using the daily interbank exchange rate, then adjusted for local premiums, dealer margins and demand.
Taxes and import duties
Import duty and value-added tax in South Korea vary by gold form. Investment-grade bullion (gold of 99.5% purity or higher) is often exempt from VAT in many jurisdictions, while jewellery attracts standard VAT plus a making charge.
Popular karats and purities
24k (99.9%) is preferred for investment bars and coins, 22k (91.6%) for traditional jewellery and wedding sets, and 18k or 14k for lighter modern designs. Always look for a hallmark or assay certificate.
Where to buy gold in South Korea
Licensed bullion dealers, national mints, major bank branches and government-authorised jewellery associations are the safest routes in South Korea. Online marketplaces and unlisted shops carry higher counterfeit risk and wider spreads.
Buying tip
Compare the shop's quoted per-gram rate against the live LBMA spot converted at the day's KRW rate. A premium over spot of 3–7% for coins and 1–4% for bars is normal — anything higher is usually the making charge.
