OBS_VALUE: Liquor licences are subject to quotas: application could be refused if an applicant for a license intends to set up a sales outlet in a region that has been designated or publicly notified by the Commissioner of the National Tax Service to be noticeably detrimental to the balance of supply and demand of alcoholic beverages in consideration of population, consumption of alcoholic beverages, number of existing sales outlets, etc. Also, to provide liquor distribution services, applicant must establish an office in Korea. Retail sale of alcohol products online is allowed since 2020, but delivery is still banned, so customers have to visit the physical stores to pick up their orders. Also, a person that supplies liquor wholesale (including importation) or retail distribution services must establish an office in Korea. There are a number of strict requirements for advertising of liquors related to the non-use of pregnant women and minors in advertising and the promotion of consumption.

However, latter regulations are not considered as trade barriers for the purposes of this measure.
