The Korea Customs Service said on the 15th it extended by five years the business license of Korea SMEs & Startups Distribution & Marketing Agency, which operates the "DF12-1" and "DF12-2" sections of the departure duty-free store at Incheon Airport Terminal 2. Duty-free operating rights must undergo renewal review every five years.

The Korea Customs Service convened the licensed bonded sales examination committee that day, reviewed the renewal of licenses for the DF12-1 and DF12-2 sections of the Incheon Airport departure duty-free store, and voted accordingly. The Incheon Airport departure duty-free store is operated by a total of seven license holders, including Korea SMEs & Startups Distribution & Marketing Agency.
