It took me and my Korean-speaking dad 3 days of bumbling to figure all this out. With this guide, you can do it all in one afternoon.
(Note, this is similar to Edd's post from 29Jul2013...but I only found his post today)
Step 1: INSURANCE
Get this several days before your bike arrives! Two options:
Wendy Choi (speaks English)
wendy@aerointl.kr
W82000 for up to 1 week
Byung Geun Chun (speaks English)
Samsung Expat Insurance Team
Mobile 010-3232-0625
Company email:
bgchun@samsungfire.com
You need:
License
Title/Registration
Passport
Dates of policy
Name of departure vessel (e.g. DBS Ferry Eastern Dream, Donghae-Vladivostok)
Invoice showing value of motorcycle (can be made up)
Step 2: AIR WAYBILL
Take subway to Incheon Air Cargo Terminal subway stop
Exit 1, up escalator, turn left
Free shuttle "for IACC" to cargo terminal
Terminal A Korean Air
Terminal B Asiana
Terminal C Foreign Carriers
I shipped via Qatar Airways and entered Air Cargo Terminal C, entrance C, near the glass elevator. Upstairs to "Asiana Airport" office on 1st floor (2nd American floor) (37.469899,126.465437)
Present printed copy of Air Waybill and exchange for stamped original Air Waybill
If necessary, go to office on 2nd floor (3rd American floor) with beige door marked "IRR" (irregularities?) in case of suspected damage during shipment. My bike was leaning heavily on its pallet but there was no real damage.
Step 3: CUSTOMS
Take free shuttle "for Terminal 1" East Entrance, Level 3 Door 3
(37.449399,126.453563)
Take elevator down to B1
Terminal 1 Level B1 Room B088
"Customs Baggage Clearance"
Near "Spa On Air"
Talk to Kim Juwon (green polo shirt, big desk)
You need:
Air Waybill
License
Title/Registration
Passport
Proof of insurance
Some form of invoice showing your bike's value
Maybe International Drivers Permit
Maybe Russian Visa page, if necessary
Go upstairs to pay non-refundable fee to Kookmin Bank ATM
Account 630-009231-643
1-500cc KRW120000
500-1100cc KRW160000
1100+cc KRW240000
Receipt is proof of payment!
TIP is valid for period of insurance validity
Receive yellow "sticker" (paper circle)
Step 4: PICK UP BIKE!
Free shuttle "for IACC" back to applicable cargo terminal
Present TIP and Air Waybill to your cargo airline's office
Paid W101500 for 27 hrs warehouse storage (W50000/24hr, no partial days)
Present TIP and Air Waybill at ground floor warehouse to retrieve bike
Receive your bike!
DON'T LET THEM TAKE YOUR ORIGINAL TIP!!! They can make copy; you take original. Keep your yellow paper 'sticker' too.
Stop at toll gate to exit cargo terminal area and you'll be waved through.
Incheon ICN airport is on an island. There are two bridges on/off the island, but both are expressways and motorcycles are prohibited.
Ride Sejong Yeongdong Ferry (+82 777 8087) to mainland
(37.492576,126.580925)
Park in the left lane and buy your ticket at the short grey box building back at the intersection
7:30am-6:30pm, hourly (weather permitting), KRW6000 for 1 bike 400cc+ and 1 person (extra person KRW3500)
QUICK TIPS:
1) Right turn on red is PERMITTED after a full stop
2) Gasoline/petrol (hwe bal yoo) is the YELLOW pump
3) All gas stations take credit cards
4) Motorcycles not permitted on Korean expressways! Local roads only
5) Keep your TIP and yellow "sticker" in a safe place--both are required at customs to leave Korea
6) Google Maps driving navigation doesn't work in Korea, neither offline nor online. Most Koreans use Naver Maps, but most points of interest are only in Korean.
