Buy It For Me

Just a moment, securing your connection...

While the aesthetic is rooted in the dark ages, the technology is strictly modern. It builds on the success of the EP-133 series but swaps modern drum kits for chainmail-clinking percussion and tavern foley. For those tracking us trends, this product represents a shift toward highly stylized, thematic hardware that doubles as a collector's piece.

South Korean Market vs US Inventory

If you have tried to locate this unit in Seoul's boutique audio shops, you likely encountered "Sold Out" signs. Local distributors in South Korea often receive smaller allocations compared to major US retailers. Check our guide on US retailers have the EP-1320 Medieval stock that South Korean shops lack.

The inventory imbalance is significant. Major US platforms like Sweetwater or Perfect Circuit maintain deeper stock levels.

Shipping Estimates for South Korea

Before you place an order, it is essential to understand the logistics of shipping sensitive electronic equipment internationally. Below are the estimated specifications for the EP-1320 Medieval package.

Buying from US Stores via comGateway

Purchasing from a US store like Amazon or Sweetwater is straightforward once you have a tax-free us address. This allows you to avoid US domestic sales tax, which can save you up to 10% before the item even leaves the country. To understand the full process, follow this step-by-step guide on how to use your US address for international orders.

Once your EP-1320 arrives at the warehouse, you can choose your preferred speed for international shipping service to South Korea.

Importing to South Korea: Rules and Costs

When shipping to South Korea, the de minimis threshold for duty-free imports from the US is $200 USD (including domestic shipping within the US). Since the EP-1320 Medieval is priced around $299 USD, it will exceed this threshold. You should prepare for the following:

• VAT (Value Added Tax): Typically 10% of the CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight) value.
• Customs Duty: Many electronic instruments fall under 0% duty if they qualify under the KORUS FTA, but administrative fees may still apply.
• PCCC: You must have a Personal Customs Clearance Code (PCCC) ready for the courier to process your package through Korean customs.

To get a better idea of the total landed cost, use the estimate shipping cost tool to factor in both the courier fees and potential surcharges. Using a reliable comGateway account ensures that all documentation is handled correctly to prevent delays in Incheon.
