HowBridge FAQ
What is HowBridge's official customer service number?
HowBridge (HowBridge Information Co., Ltd., Unified Business No. 57151105) has only one official customer service landline, 03-3936426, available weekdays 09:00–18:00. Its only official domain is 0523.tw. We never make unsolicited calls from other numbers, and we will never ask you to operate an ATM or provide your card number or online banking password.
What should I do if I get a call from a number starting with 02, claiming to be HowBridge or customs and demanding “back duties”?
It is never us: HowBridge has only one official number, 03-3936426. Any number starting with 02, or any other number, does not belong to our company, and customs will never call you to demand a wire transfer for back taxes. Duties and taxes on imported express shipments are always notified by the customs broker through the EZ WAY app, paid online, and backed by a proof of payment. “Your gift from overseas has been seized by customs and you must pay back duties first” is a common scam script—in September 2026, the Banqiao Precinct of the New Taipei City Police cracked a case involving a demand for NT$550,000 in “back duties” (Nextapple News, 2026-09-08). If you receive a suspicious call, verify it by dialing the National Police Agency's 165 anti-fraud hotline. If you have already paid duties and taxes after being defrauded in a cross-border online purchase, under Article 17, Paragraph 5 of the Customs Act (關稅法), you may apply to the customs office at the port of import for a declaration correction and tax refund within 6 months from the day after the goods were released, attaching the police case acceptance certificate (Ministry of Finance Letter Tai-Cai-Guan-Zi No. 1131014492, May 27, 2024).
Is HowBridge a legally registered company? How can I verify it?
Yes. HowBridge Information Co., Ltd., Unified Business No. 57151105, was approved for incorporation by the Ministry of Economic Affairs on August 30, 2017. You can enter the business number in the Ministry of Economic Affairs Commercial and Industrial Registration Public Records Search Service to verify its registration status, representative, and address.

What is HowBridge's relationship with customs brokers? Is it an AEO-certified company?
HowBridge grew out of a Taiwanese customs brokerage with more than a decade in business. HowBridge itself is a consolidation platform, not an AEO-certified company; customs clearance on the Taiwan side for every shipment is handled by AEO (Authorized Economic Operator) certified partner customs brokers. According to a Ministry of Finance press release dated 13 May 2025, there are 948 AEO-certified companies in Taiwan (524 general + 424 security-certified), accounting for about 50% of total annual trade, with average clearance times more than 3 times faster than ordinary operators. Taiwan has also signed mutual recognition arrangements (MRAs) with the US, Singapore, Japan, Korea, Australia, and other countries.
Glossary
- AEO (Authorized Economic Operator)：A supply-chain-secure, compliant company certified by customs under the WCO SAFE Framework of Standards. There are two tiers, “general” and “security-certified (AEO-S),” which enjoy lower document review and cargo inspection rates. HowBridge shipments are cleared by AEO-certified partner customs brokers.
- EZ WAY：The app for real-name verification of express shipment consignees, built and operated by Tradevan with its own investment and incorporated by the Customs Administration (Ministry of Finance) into the online authorisation mechanism (not commissioned by Customs). It binds your identity to your mobile number and replaces the paper customs brokerage authorization form. After declaration data is pushed to the app, the consignee confirms that the “declaration matches,” and can also check and pay duties and taxes online.
- CCC tariff code：The 11-digit product classification code in Taiwan's import tariff schedule (the first 6 digits are the same as the international HS Code). It determines the import duty rate and import regulations. This site links to Customs Administration data to offer lookups of 12,000+ codes.
- Consolidation (package forwarding)：A service that combines packages sent by multiple sellers to an overseas consolidation warehouse, ships them back to Taiwan together, and handles import customs clearance. HowBridge's consolidation warehouse is in Shenzhen, and sorting and delivery in Taiwan are handled by the Taoyuan Dayuan warehouse.
