Korean auto parts buyer guides
Genuine, OES or aftermarket: what should a wholesale buyer request?
Genuine, OES and aftermarket describe different sourcing and packaging options, not a guarantee that every part fits a vehicle. Specify the requested grade, part number and vehicle application together. Hanaparts reviews the requirement before quoting an option.

Compare the grades Hanaparts supplies
| Part grade | Published sourcing description | What to specify in your inquiry |
|---|---|---|
| Genuine Parts | Original equipment manufacturer components supplied in the original manufacturer's packaging and cross-referenced to the requested part number. | Ask for the original manufacturer's packaging and the exact requested reference. |
| OES (OE Supplier) | Parts made by the same Tier-1 suppliers that build for the vehicle manufacturers, matched to the OEM part number, without the brand-packaging premium. | Ask which supplier brand and reference will be quoted; do not assume every supplier reference is interchangeable. |
| Premium Aftermarket | Aftermarket alternatives matched to the requested application and reviewed against available part specifications. | State the required application and acceptable brand or specification; request confirmation for the quoted alternative. |
An OEM reference identifies the request; it does not prove affiliation
Include the OEM part number exactly as you have it, together with the vehicle make, model and any relevant application details. If you are unsure of the reference, use the part-identification inquiry rather than choosing an assumed equivalent.
Hanaparts is an independent exporter. Vehicle names and OEM references are used to identify compatibility, not to claim authorization by the vehicle manufacturer. A part-grade label alone does not establish a warranty or an approval.
Compare quotations on the same basis
Tell the export team whether you want one specified grade or separate alternatives. Compare the quoted brand, reference, quantity and packaging before comparing prices. Keep requirements for different grades on clearly identified lines.
Our coverage includes Korean passenger and commercial vehicle makes. The coverage page lists the makes; it is not a real-time stock list. DASA has a separate product-group introduction for buyers considering aftermarket replacement parts.
Send the requirements, not an assumed order
Part availability, compatibility, quantities, pricing and shipping terms are reviewed for your request. A website inquiry is not an accepted order.
