Everything you need to win in Korea — at your level of commitment.
Your Korean customers are already buying — and your goods still need a way in. Kontactic is the import and selling authority on the ground: sell under our entity with Spark, engage us per shipment for one-off imports, or own your own Korean entity (유한회사) and let us operate it with Flame and Blaze. Add specialist services where you need them.
Pick your level of commitment
Kontactic is a Managed Market Entry Operator: we provide the local import and selling authority, the operations, and the growth engine so Western brands can sell on Korea's dominant platforms without building an in-country team. You choose how much of your own footprint you want in Korea.
Start fast with Spark, where our Korean entity acts as your Importer of Record and Seller of Record — no company of your own required. Or establish your own Korean entity (유한회사) and let us operate it for you: Flame for entity administration plus commerce operations, Blaze for everything plus growth marketing. With either path, you keep ownership and control.
Layer in specialist services as you scale — KC certification and compliance, conversion-focused Korean product pages, Coupang marketing, and self-paced E-Learning to get your team up to speed before the first call.
Eight ways we get your brand selling in Korea
Three commitment tiers and five specialist services — combine them around your demand, your budget, and how much you want to own in-market.

Demand first
Every tier — including Spark — requires hard evidence of existing Korean demand: cross-border order data, Korean buyer history, or comparable proof. If you don't have it yet, start with our free educational content. Our E-Learning library and blog will help you build the demand picture before you ever pay for a service.
Choosing your entry model
Spark is the fastest, lowest-commitment entry: Kontactic's Korean entity acts as your Importer and Seller of Record, so you can go live in roughly 2–4 weeks without forming anything in Korea. Flame and Blaze give you your own Korean entity (유한회사) — you own the company, licenses, bank account, and marketplace accounts — with setup taking roughly 6–10 weeks. Many brands start on Spark and transition once local sales justify their own entity.
Your Korean customers are already buying. It's time to go local.
