About CUPIA
The overseas cooperation agency designated by Korea Customs Service, carrying 50 years of its heritage.
Not a technology vendor, but a partner that stays until each nation fully owns its system.
Identity
Who We Are
CUPIA is not a profit-driven enterprise. We are a non-profit public foundation executing the diplomatic mission of the Korean government.
01
A non-profit public foundation established under the Customs Act. Supervised by Korea Customs Service, with public accountability as our highest priority.
02
UNI-PASS is a system Korea Customs Service has developed and operated in-house for over 50 years. CUPIA is staffed by the very people who built and ran it — delivering living experience, not just manuals.
03
We execute Korea's diplomatic mission of advancing digital governance in partner nations — not maximizing profit. That's why full source code transfer is possible.
