The spouse of the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Park Joon-young has 1,250 pieces of ceramics imported from England.



There are many types of tea cups, plates, and tea pots.




According to the customs law, if you lived abroad with your family, you do not have to pay tax on some moving items brought into your country.



However, in order to be exempted from customs duties for moving goods, three conditions must be met.



The quantity must be acceptable for home use, must have been used for at least 3 months before entering Korea, and must continue to be used by yourself even after entering the country.



There are over 1,000 pieces of pottery that Candidate Park's side bought, and there are too many for home use.



The opinion of customs experts is that it is unlikely that many of these dishes were used before entering the country, and it is difficult to meet the duty-free requirements because it has been confirmed that some of them were sold at cafes after entering the country.



[Mr. A/Customs Officer: (UK home) I don't think the floor space was wide. It is difficult to deal with having 1,300 pieces of ceramics for home use in a small space.] The Korea



Customs Service is reviewing whether candidate Park's case is a violation of the law. Fines up to 5 times may apply.
