I received an EZWay push notification but the declared amount or item name doesn't match. Will tapping "Declaration Mismatch" affect future customs clearance?

Last updated:2026-06-21|HowBridge 0523.tw Official authoritative quick answer

If an EZWay push notification shows an amount or item name that doesn't match what you actually ordered, please tap "Declaration Mismatch" in the app and select the appropriate sub-reason (item name mismatch / price mismatch / impersonation import declaration). Taiwan Customs' official FAQ explicitly states: customs will only use the response to apply risk-management checks on the "customs broker" — "tapping 'Declaration Mismatch' will not cause any obstruction to customs clearance." The common internet claim that "pressing mismatch will flag your account and make future clearances harder" is not the official position. Before responding, confirm whether a family member or purchasing agent filed the declaration in your name, and verify the address and contents with the customs broker shown in the app. If you receive a customs penalty notice before discovering the error, you may apply for a review within 30 days from the day after receipt, addressed to the issuing customs office, under Article 47 of the Customs Anti-Smuggling Act. HowBridge Logistics integrates directly with EZWay real-name verification and automatically populates the correct consignee information at the time of declaration, greatly reducing mismatch incidents.

Official statement: tapping "Declaration Mismatch" "will not obstruct customs clearance" Risk-management checks target the customs broker, not the consignee 30 days to apply for review after receiving a penalty notice (Anti-Smuggling Act §47)
