Legal Status of Peptides
MFDS regulates peptides as prescription medications. Incheon (ICN) customs are professional and document-driven. Personal-use quantities with a prescription clear smoothly. South Korea has a thriving medical tourism industry — pharmaceutical scrutiny is calibrated, not hostile.
For the wider picture, see our international peptide travel guide covering customs and prescription requirements country-by-country.
