Customs inspection of fine jackets?

The customs valuation is based on Taiwan retail (if the declaration is too low) → tax will be paid. Premium outerwear tariff 5% + 5% sales tax, including down → General textile tariff (no CITES issues), Made in label (England / Italy / Canada) required. 1 shipment, 1-2 high-priced items + accessories + matching clothing/shoes packed together + complete PayPal/credit card receipt + high-priced items (USD$2,000+) must be insured at 10%.
