Description
South Korea is a high-value market for UK consumer and retail brands, but its safety and compliance requirements can be complex if you’re not prepared.
This practical webinar is designed to help consumer and retail exporters understand the KC Mark (Korea Certification) and what it means for getting products to market smoothly. We’ll explain which consumer and retail product categories are subject to KC Certification, outline the different types of certification and testing routes available, and clarify what exporters are responsible for once approval has been granted, including post-certification obligations.
You’ll also gain practical insights into common challenges exporters face, alongside key considerations and tips to help you navigate the certification process efficiently, avoid delays, and reduce the risk of non-compliance. Throughout the session, the focus will be on giving you clear, actionable guidance you can apply straight away when exporting to South Korea.
This session is ideal for exporters who want to reduce risk, save time, and approach the South Korean market with confidence.
