Why these reports are free

Every figure here comes from the same register behind KoreanImportData: roughly 950,000 import declarations lodged with Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, translated into English and organised by product, company and country.

The reports name the overseas suppliers shipping into each market, because that is the half of the trade an exporter can already see at a trade fair.

What they do not name is the Korean buyers. That list — who imports what, from whom, how often, and when they last shipped — is what a subscription is for.
