Shipping estimates for South Korean gamers

Providing accurate logistics data is essential for budgeting your 2026 tech upgrades. Below are the estimated specifications for shipping the Audeze Maxwell Wireless Gaming Headset from the US to South Korea.

Volumetric Weight Warning

While the Audeze Maxwell is not a large item, always be aware that carriers calculate costs based on the larger of actual weight or volumetric weight. If a retailer uses an oversized shipping box, the cost may increase. You can use the shipping calculator to get a precise quote before committing to the purchase.

Lithium Battery Rules

The Audeze Maxwell contains a large lithium-ion battery. Most international carriers permit this as long as the battery is contained within the equipment. comGateway handles the necessary labeling and documentation to ensure compliance with international aviation safety standards.

Securing orders with the BuyForMe service

Certain US stores frequently block international credit cards or decline orders sent to known shipping hubs. This is a common hurdle for South Korean buyers trying to shop us store locations like specialized boutique audio shops.

The comGateway "BuyForMe" service solves this problem. Our team uses a US-registered payment method and a residential billing address to purchase the item on your behalf. This is the most effective way to guarantee your order is not cancelled by strict retail security systems. Using this service ensures you don't miss out on limited-time deals or exclusive 2026 hardware releases.

Handling South Korean import tax and duties

When importing goods into South Korea, you must consider import duties. Generally, items valued over 150 USD (or 200 USD for US-made goods under KORUS FTA) are subject to customs tax and VAT. Since the Audeze Maxwell typically retails around 299 USD, you should expect to pay approximately 10% VAT and potential duty fees upon arrival.
