On January 14, 2025, the South Korean Ministry of Environment (MoE) reported that 86 additional products purchased from overseas do not meet local safety standards. This was discovered after the MoE expanded its investigation, which initially reviewed 558 products and later added 32 more items for review, as noted in our previous newsletter: South Korea Blocks Unsafe Overseas Purchases.
Unsafe Products Identified
The 86 products include 40 household chemical products, 38 metal accessories, and 8 asbestos-containing products. The MoE has requested the Korean Customs Service to block the import of these products to protect public health.
Focus on Online Retailers
The MoE will continue to monitor whether these products have been blocked by online distributors such as AliExpress and Temu. Additionally, the budget for safety investigations will be significantly increased in 2025 to examine the safety of more products purchased overseas.
