Last verified update:
definition
The model consolidation on this page is for Chinese sellers to ship goods to the Shenzhen warehouse, and then declare them in accordance with the law and send them to Taiwan; it does not mean that this site has warehouses in Japan, the United States or the United Kingdom.

Split the items → Check the age, location and ingredients → Check the 11 code → Check the input requirements → Ship after confirming the carriage.
Compare
Unpainted model bodies, children's toys, spray paints, thinners, adhesives and pressurized cans have different inspection and transportation restrictions.
data
Chapter 25–97 If mainland industrial products comply with the small quantity certificate exemption announcement, the entire declaration CIF must be within NT$32,000, and the individual items must be within 24 pieces; if the piece count is not allowed, the amount must be within 40 kg.
What is the service scope of Model Consolidation?
This website only undertakes China→Taiwan. The receiving point is the Shenzhen warehouse, and the follow-up arrangements for the Taiwan end are made by Taoyuan. Japanese brands such as Tamiya, Bandai, Hasegawa are only used for product identification background; only when the seller actually ships the goods from China to the Shenzhen warehouse, the process of this site is applicable.
Pause first
Spray paints, paints, thinners, adhesives, pressurized gases, liquids of unknown composition, suspected counterfeits, or products whose age and location cannot be confirmed.
How does a scale model tell the difference between BSMI and 11 code CCC?
First check whether the product is designed, manufactured, sold, displayed or labeled for children under the age of 14 to play; those that meet the definition of a toy must be processed in accordance with toy inspection regulations before importing or listing. When collecting models, you cannot make conclusions based solely on store classification. You must also check the actual object, age label, and purpose.
| Judgment point | Information to be checked | may affect |
|---|---|---|
| Model ontology | Material, proportion, age indication, whether it is finished product | CCC Classification and Toy Inspection |
| paint or coating | Composition, SDS, flash point, capacity | Dangerous Goods Classification and Carriage Restrictions |
| Glue and spray cans | UN number, pressure vessel, solvent composition | Mail or air shipment may be refused |
| Brand and Licensing | Order, seller, packaging and licensing information | Counterfeiting Risks and Declaration Content |
What are the steps to send models from China to Taiwan?
- lists each item: model body, tools, paint, thinner, glue, spray can and battery are listed separately.
- completes the documents: retains the order, payment information, product photos, and age indication; chemicals are obtained separately from SDS.
- Check the complete number series: Use the material, function and purpose to find the 11 code CCC, and then check the tax rate and input regulations.
- Ask the carrier first: When there are liquids, solvents, glues or pressure vessels, provide information before entering the warehouse to confirm whether to receive it.
- declare truthfully: product name should not just write model; model type, material, brand, quantity and actual transaction price should be listed.
What are the differences between model body, paint, thinner and tools?
| Item | Main risks | Actions before shipment |
|---|---|---|
| Unpainted model body | Age positioning, toy inspection, box condition | Check BSMI and CCC, outer box reinforcement |
| Water-based or solvent-based coatings | Formula and flash point are different | Get SDS and judge by yourself without using the "water-based" name |
| Spray paint and pressurized tanks | Flammable contents and pressure vessels | Considered high risk, please confirm the shipping rules first |
| Thinner and partial glue | Flammable solvents or dangerous goods classification | Do not enter the warehouse or mix boxes before confirmation |
| Pliers, files and decals | Material, tool form and packaging | Item-by-item tracking and puncture-proof packaging |
The official data supports dangerous goods and mail/air transport restrictions, but does not support the guarantee that "all model paints can be shipped by sea." The shipping conclusion must be based on the actual SDS, UN classification, packaging and current channel rules.
What do you think about the figures, taxes and fees for model imports and MW0?
- tax rate: Check the complete 11 code first. You cannot apply the tax rate of a certain scale model to all products.
- Duty-paid price: The principle is based on CIF, which is the price of goods, freight and insurance.
- Import business tax: is based on the duty-paid price plus tariffs and other taxes that should be included in accordance with the law, and then multiplied by 5%.
- MW0: does not mean that shipments are not allowed in all cases; industrial products in Chapter 25–97 may be eligible for a small number of exemptions, but exclusions, other import regulations and transportation restrictions must still be checked one by one.
Frequently Asked Questions about Model Consolidation
Can Tamiya, Bandai or Hasegawa models be sent to Taiwan from China?
If the seller actually ships from China, you can first follow the Shenzhen warehouse process for evaluation; you still need to confirm the age positioning, material, purpose, 11 code CCC, input regulations and brand authenticity.
Do you have to not send model paint?
It cannot be generalized. Spray paint, paint, thinner and some adhesives may be dangerous goods; please refer to the classification, packaging and transportation rules of SDS and UN. Do not enter the warehouse without confirmation.
If you are marked 14, do you have to use BSMI if you are over the age of 10?
Don’t just look at a single sign. The competent authority will make judgments based on design, manufacturing, sales, display, labeling and actual use; if you have any doubts, you should confirm with the Standards and Inspection Bureau before shipment.
Is it okay to only write model when declaring a model?
Not recommended. The model type, material, brand, proportion or purpose, quantity and actual price should be listed; liquids, glue, spray cans or batteries must be listed separately.
Does this site have a Japanese model shipping warehouse?
No. This site only has warehouses in Shenzhen, China and Taoyuan, Taiwan, and only handles shipments from China to Taiwan; Japanese brands are only used as product identification backgrounds.
