Will I have to pay customs taxes on my shipment?

For international orders/deliveries, the customer is considered the importer of the purchased products and will be responsible for any customs tax, import duties, goods and services tax (GST), valued-added tax (VAT), or any similar customs-related charges.

Customs policies vary by country, and Global Oliveyoung cannot make any guarantees as to whether or not shipments will be subject to customs-related fees. Please contact your local customs office for more information.

In addition to customs fees, customers may also incur other charges, such as administration or brokerage fees. These are handling charges incurred due to customs processing and clearance of your shipment. Customers are required to pay the relevant courier service upon delivery of the shipment.

I can't see my tracking number for my order

Tracking codes are generated when the parcel is handed over to the courier(DHL, EMS Express). 
After the parcel is transferred to the courier, the tracking number will be available at your membership account within 2-3 days.
[PC version]:  MY ACCOUNT > MY SHOPPING > TRACK ORDERS
[Mobile App]: Top Left Menu (三) > TRACK ORDERS

Once, the tracking number is provided, you may also track your orders and get updates on the estimated delivery date at the following links.
▶ DHL Track & Trace URL: www.dhl.com/kr-en/home/tracking.html

The paid amount is different to my refunded amount

Customers can only pay in USD for Olive Young (refund in USD too). 
If the currency of customers' bank cards is not in USD, there will be an exchange in currency during the refund process, 
and there would be a difference in paid amount and refunded amount due to differences in exchange rate over time.
We do not reimburse for the differences in exchange rate

Payment can not be completed

Available debit/credit card brands are Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, JCB, and UnionPay. 
The cases where card payment is not available are found below.

(1) Credit card accessed through bypass IP
(2) Credit card inability for continuous payment
(3) Other reasons (the settlement company finding a dangerous transaction, the effective term having expired, etc.)

I've been requested to attach copy of my passport

The shipping company has informed us that U.S Customs strengthens security recently so they inspect the parcel randomly and then require for the recipient's identification.

Due to this security, when the shipping company needs more information of the recipient, Global Olive Young sends email separately to the recipient and asks for attaching the identification such as passport or ID card within the time limit.
And the shipping company needs a copy of your passport with only full name and birthday, so the other details should be masked. 

If this information is not provided, the parcel can not be delivered successfully. 
Therefore, It may be inconvenient, but we'd appreciate your cooperation. 

Q. Why do I have to send you the copy?
▶ Recently, the U.S. and local Customs Authorities have strengthened security checks(DPSS; Denied Parties Security Screen). Hence, there has been a significant increase in the number of randomly requested passport copies to verify recipients' identification and shipping information. 
※ The process may take time and the shipment will be released within a few days after the cross-check.

Q. Are all customers being asked to submit a copy of the passport/ID card to the courier for deliveries [On Hold]? 
▶ No. 
The process for clearance of DPSS is picked out randomly. 
Orders with insufficient shipping information may be requested of copies as well.

Q. I'm uncomfortable with my personal information being exposed.
Q. Does this process cause any personal risk or disadvantage? 
▶ No. 
ONLY the Full Name and Date Of Birth will be forwarded and cross-checked to the copy of your passport/ID card.
As passport/ID information is confidential, it is extremely restricted to be used for any other purpose. 
All information is discarded immediately after the process.
※ Please conceal, cover, mask or remove all other details, except for your Full Name and Date Of Birth to protect the rest of your personal information.

Q. I refuse to send a copy. Please cancel my order.
▶ Sorry. 
If the required information and copy are not forwarded to the local customs & courier within the time limit, your parcel may be returned. According to the Shipping Policy, returned/canceled orders due to insufficient shipping information are ineligible for any kind of compensation.
