The chance is medium (15-20%). Reasons for random inspection: high price (USD$1,000+), large items, suspected of commercial import. Response: Provide Buy Buy Baby / Nordstrom / original factory order invoice, declare "baby stroller / infant products", reasonable for personal use. Personal 1 stroller + 1 safety seat are usually allowed, and multiple sets of the same model are commercially imported (must have "importer registration"). Cart tariff 5% + 5% sales tax, customs valuation is based on Taiwan retail price (if declared too low), protest cost is high. 1 consolidated shipment, 1 stroller + 1 safety seat + matching clothing/shoes packed together + complete PayPal/credit card receipt + 10% insurance must be added to high-priced strollers.
