## 1. What changed

### Olive Young Global does not ship to the US

Checked Olive Young Global's shipping page says: “This site does not ship to the U.S. (50 U.S. states & D.C.)”. The country list still includes Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the US Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands. [1]

Checked Olive Young US's help center: “OLIVE YOUNG US operates exclusively for the United States and OLIVE YOUNG Global serves countries outside the U.S.” Products, promotions and gifts “may vary”. [2]

Reported The switch happened on May 29, 2026, when Olive Young US launched with a California warehouse, 3–5 business-day delivery and free shipping over $35. [3][4]

### The US $800 de minimis exemption is suspended

Checked US Customs and Border Protection (CBP): from Aug 29, 2025, goods from all countries valued at or below $800 “will no longer be eligible for de minimis treatment and will be subject to all applicable duties, taxes, and fees”. [5]

Checked CBP made the suspension indefinite in its regulations on June 24, 2026. The law ends the exemption on July 1, 2027. [6] A new informal entry process for mail started July 24, 2026. [7]

The duty rate for a given product: Unknown here: it depends on the product and origin. Ask the seller or carrier, or check with CBP.

Ways to get a Korean Olive Young promo set delivered to the US
| Option | What you get | How the price works | Watch for |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Olive Young US** us.oliveyoung.com | US store with its own range. Korea promo packs (1+1, bonus sheets, limited editions) are often missing or packed differently. Checked [2] | US price, ships within the US. Reported free over $35 [3] | Usually the cheapest when the same product is there. Example: on Oct 28, 10 Mediheal Essential masks were $22.00; the Korean 10+1 pack was not listed. Checked [8] |
| **Buy-for-me / forwarding services in Korea** e.g. Delivered Korea, Ships From Korea, KoreaGoodies | They buy the exact Korean listing for you (or receive what you bought) and ship it. | Item + service fee + international shipping by weight + duties. On Oct 28: Delivered Korea: buy-for-me handling $1.5–$5 per order (free over $200), forwarding handling free; shipping by actual or volumetric weight (L×W×H÷5000); prepaid US duties offered. Checked [9][10] Ships From Korea: 5% of item + Korean delivery, $3 handling per request, shipping set after packing. Checked [11] KoreaGoodies: quote on request; catalog prices include a 30% service margin. Checked [12] | Shipping is usually charged after packing, so the total is not final when you first pay. Ask whether duties are prepaid or collected on arrival. |
| **Amazon, YesStyle, Stylevana** | Many Korean products; on Amazon often third-party sellers. Set composition can differ from the Korean promo pack. | Listed price, shipping by store. YesStyle says it pays US tariffs on your behalf and refunds extra customs-related fees. Checked [13] | Check the listed contents (size, count, bonus, edition) against the Korean listing, and who the seller is. |
| **Request a quote: Korea Sets** /order/ | 4 Korean-version sets not found at Olive Young US in that form, sourced in Korea only after you accept and shipped unopened. | You send a request (no payment). A person checks the price and emails one delivered total, duties and shipping included (we aim to reply within 24 hours). Nothing is bought or charged until you accept, and during this pilot nothing is bought until availability and terms are confirmed. | Only those 4 sets. A single set is expensive: on Nov 3 our estimate for one VT Reedle Shot Pokémon Edition was $69 delivered. Several sets in one box cost less per set. Prototype. Not affiliated with Olive Young or the brands. |

Fees are as shown on each company's own pages on 2026-10-28 and can change. Other services exist: in 56 AI answers we read on Oct 28, 17 different forwarders were named.

## 3. In Canada or Japan? Check Olive Young Global first

Checked Olive Young Global ships directly to **Canada**: 5–7 days, FedEx, free over US$60; tax may be charged at delivery on orders over CA$20. And to **Japan**: 6–7 days, LX Pantos or KSE, free over ¥3,900. [1]

Checked Of the 3 Korea sets on our [/order/](https://chainshift-preview.vercel.app/order/) page, Banila Co Joan Friends Edition was on Olive Young Global for Canada and Japan in the same form; VT Reedle Shot was there without the Pokémon Edition goods. [14] Not checked Huxley Monchhichi Edition (added Nov 3).

## 4. How to compare a delivered total

- **Same set?** Match size, count, bonus items and edition with the Korean listing.
- **Item price in Korea**: promo or regular, and the promo end date (Korea time).
- **Service fee**: percent, per-order fee, minimum.
- **International shipping**: actual or volumetric weight (often L×W×H÷5000), carrier, tracking.
- **US duties, taxes and carrier fees**: prepaid in the total, or collected on arrival?
- **Extras**: packing, consolidation, inspection photos, storage.
- **Fixed before you pay?** One total, in writing, before any charge.
- **If something goes wrong**: damaged, missing or wrong set: what the seller does.

## 6. FAQ

### Does Olive Young Global ship to the United States in 2026?

No. On Oct 28, 2026, Olive Young Global's shipping page said: “This site does not ship to the U.S. (50 U.S. states & D.C.)”. US customers are served by Olive Young US (us.oliveyoung.com), a separate store. News reports date the switch to May 29, 2026.

### Does the US $800 de minimis exemption still apply to parcels from Korea?

No. US Customs and Border Protection says goods valued at $800 or less from all countries lost de minimis treatment on Aug 29, 2025. CBP made the suspension indefinite in its regulations on June 24, 2026, and the law ends the exemption on July 1, 2027. Duties, taxes and fees can apply to a small parcel.

### Is a Korean Olive Young promo set the same as what Olive Young US sells?

Often not. Olive Young US says products, promotions and gifts may vary by shipping availability, manufacturer agreements and local conditions. Korea promo packs (1+1, bonus sheets, limited editions) are often missing or packed differently at Olive Young US. Compare the exact contents: size, count, bonus items and edition.

### Is a set bought in Korea authentic?

A set bought at Olive Young Korea or a brand's own Korean store is the retail product sold in Korea. Third-party listings can differ. Ask the seller where it was bought, ask for photos of the actual box before shipping, and check that the contents match the Korean listing.

### What happens if the Korean promo ends before my order?

The price usually goes back to the regular Korean price, or the set stops being sold. Any quote based on the promo price should be re-quoted. Check the promo end date (Korea time) before you accept a quote.

### I live in Canada or Japan. Do I need a forwarder?

Check Olive Young Global first. On Oct 28, 2026, it shipped directly to Canada (5–7 days, FedEx, free over US$60, tax may be charged on orders over CA$20) and Japan (6–7 days, LX Pantos or KSE, free over ¥3,900). Of the 4 sets on our /order/ page, 2 (Banila Co Joan Friends Edition and Mediheal Hyper Gel Mask 8+1) were on Olive Young Global for Canada and Japan in the same form on Oct 28; we have not checked Huxley Monchhichi Edition.

### How do I compare a delivered total from Korea?

Add the item price in Korea, the service fee, international shipping (by actual or volumetric weight, often L×W×H÷5000), US duties, taxes and carrier fees, and any packing or consolidation fees. Ask whether duties are prepaid or collected on arrival, and whether the total is fixed before you pay.
