Diaper customs inspection?

The probability is low (5-10%). Reasons for random inspection: large purchase (20+ boxes), suspected commercial import, and mixing of different brands. Response: Provide Amazon/Costco order invoice, declare "baby products/diapers", reasonable for personal use. There is no rule that a certain number of diaper boxes is guaranteed to clear; customs decides case by case based on quantity, value and whether the goods look commercial; 20+ boxes of the same model are suspected of commercial import (must have "importer registration"). Diaper tariff is 5% + 5% business tax, customs valuation is based on retail sales in Taiwan (if declared too low), some brands (Honest) → contain organic cotton, no bleaching. 1 shipment of 5-10 boxes (reasonable personal consumption) + combined with milk powder/baby supplies + complete PayPal/credit card documents + multiple purchases in batches.
