Group Order Cost Split Calculator (overseas goods: shipping, customs, exchange rate)

How it works

Shared costs (international shipping × rate + customs + forwarder-to-organiser shipping) are split in proportion to the value of each member’s goods: your share = your goods ÷ order total. You pay = your goods × rate + your share × shared costs + packing fee + shipping to you. For heavy but cheap items, agree on a weight-based split for shipping before you order.

FAQ

Why split by value and not equally?

Customs duty and VAT are charged on value, so splitting by value matches how they arise. Equal splits overcharge members who bought a single cheap item.

Will a large group order be taxed?

One combined shipment can go over the duty-free limit even when each member’s part is small. Check the Korea Customs Service rules before you combine orders.
