Korea Import Hub is a sourcing agency for importers who want to buy from South Korea, based in Incheon and operated by DevTeam Co., Ltd. under Korean business registration number 433-88-03388. The background published on the site is the part that matters most for a buyer: both founders, Daniel Ahn and Sandy Kang, previously co-founded the Korean export company Haerae Co., Ltd., which they ran from 2015 to 2022 and which exported to more than 200 overseas buyers across 16 countries, including a Korean export award in 2019. In other words, they spent years on the selling side of Korean export before moving to the buying side, which is a relevant qualification when the main difficulty is getting access to Korean suppliers that do not normally work with foreign buyers. The service covers the sequence an importer actually needs. It starts with finding and verifying manufacturers, OEM/ODM labs and wholesalers, including checks on business registration, production capability and references, then moves to negotiating price, MOQ, lead time, packaging and payment terms in Korean, coordinating samples until the specification is right, inspecting goods before they leave the factory with a photo report, and finally handling export documentation, FTA proof of origin, freight from Busan or Incheon and customs coordination. Purchasing on the buyer's behalf is offered as a separate element, which matters because many Korean suppliers sell domestically only and expect a local contact. Our take: the profile is strong on verifiability, which is rare in this segment. A registration number, two named founders with a traceable export history and a public guide library are all things a buyer can check before committing. The categories covered are those Korea is genuinely competitive in: cosmetics and K-beauty, food, fashion, electronics, home and living products and health and wellness. The main open question is capacity, since this appears to be a small team, and pricing is quoted per project rather than published. Buyers with large or multi-category programmes should agree on scope, response times and inspection standards in writing, and should confirm current duty treatment, because the US tariff position on Korean-origin goods changed during 2026.
Korea Import Hub does not publish rates. The process starts with a free consultation, followed by a written quote that covers the agreed scope before any paid work begins. The quote depends on the number of products and suppliers, whether goods are custom or finished, inspection requirements, whether the agency purchases on the buyer's behalf and the shipping arrangement. Ask for the fee basis, the inspection standard and who carries liability if goods fail inspection.
