EXPORT PROCESS
The people who send products, the people who move them, and the people who source and sell them in the US each handle their own leg on KWAVE. Pick your role to see how it works.
Korean forwarders, US forwarders, and warehouses each pick up their own leg, and you follow the whole shipment in the same workflow.
Six steps from a single requestProducts · documents · costs · status, all in one place
Enter your product details and choose a shipment run opened by a Korean forwarder.
The Korean forwarder collects the cargo, handles the paperwork with a customs broker, and gets it ready to ship.
Shipping details and related documents carry over to the US partner.
The US forwarder clears customs, handles changes and US-side charges, and delivers to the final destination.
The warehouse confirms what arrived, then manages inventory and order shipping.
Sell through B2B, B2C, and dropshipping, then grow with specialist marketing partners.
Each role owns a leg, and the next one picks up from the record the last one left. Pick a role to see what it does on KWAVE, step by step, on its own page.

KWAVE does not quote freight. Korean forwarders post a rate on each run, and brands compare runs and join one directly. You pay each cost below to a different party.
Korean forwarders post a per-pallet or per-CBM rate and expected US-side charges on each run. Final freight is based on measured volume; the Korean forwarder invoices the Korea leg, the US forwarder invoices US-side charges, and you pay each forwarder directly by bank transfer. Once you join a run, you can open both forwarders' price lists. KWAVE is not a party to the freight contract.
The KWAVE US warehouse bills receiving and outbound per job and storage monthly, based on its rate card. You receive an invoice and pay it by bank transfer.
