A Complete Guide to Taiwan Import Customs Clearance
When a package is sent back to Taiwan from overseas, it must first go through customs before it can be delivered to you. Here, every aspect of import customs declaration - the process, how to calculate taxes, what to prepare, and where it will get stuck - is broken down clearly, so that both personal container shipping and commercial import can understand it.
Import declaration = the process of declaring your imported goods to the customs, having the customs assess the taxes and release them. Individuals who use "Sea Express" for consolidated transportation can make a simple declaration: if the duty-paid price of a single transaction is ≤ NT$2,000 and it does not exceed 6 times in half a year, it will be exempted from customs duties and business tax. If it exceeds, it will be taxed according to the CCC tariff. All you need to prepare is EZWay Yiliwei real-name authentication + honest declaration of product name value. HowBridge is co-organized by AEO certified customs brokers and provides customer service in 14 languages.
