A code may apply only to some of the goods under that tariff line — click into the tariff line for the full description. A tariff line with no code means import is permitted and no permit is required from a trade-control standpoint, but this does not mean the goods are exempt from inspection, quarantine, or duty.

What's the difference between Column 1, Column 2, and Column 3 tariff rates?
General Rule 2 of the Customs Import Tariff divides rates into 3 columns: Column 1 applies to imports from World Trade Organization members or from countries or regions with reciprocal treatment toward Taiwan; Column 2 applies only to “specific” imports in two situations: specific goods from certain least-developed or developing countries or regions, or specific goods from countries or regions that have signed a free trade agreement or economic cooperation agreement with Taiwan; goods that do not qualify for either of the first two columns are subject to Column 3. Where both Column 1 and Column 2 could apply, the lower rate is used. Mainland China is a World Trade Organization member and generally falls under Column 1; Column 2 applies to mainland China only for goods on the ECFA Early Harvest list.
The chapter and tariff-line pages on this site display Column 1 rates. Column 2 marks eligible countries in the tariff table using country codes, for example “Duty-free (PA,GT,NI,SV,HN,NZ,SG)”; the codes are only labels in the tariff table, and some of the underlying agreements have been suspended or terminated (e.g., Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras) — actual eligibility is subject to Customs Administration announcements. Miscellaneous items in postal parcels have separate rules: when the dutiable value exceeds the duty-free threshold, a 5% rate applies, except for tobacco, alcohol, and goods subject to a tariff rate quota; however, if a single item or items under the same tariff line total more than NT$2,000, they are not treated as miscellaneous items and are instead taxed at each tariff line's own rate (General Rule 5; Regulations Governing Customs Clearance of Postal Parcels, Articles 8 and 9). This 5% rule only covers postal parcels and passengers' goods; express shipments are calculated by each tariff line's rate.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Customs duty: for ad valorem tariff lines, dutiable value × rate; for specific-duty tariff lines, calculated by quantity or weight (imports from mainland China generally apply Column 1).
- Business tax: levied on the dutiable value plus customs duty, collected by Customs on the government's behalf (Value-added and Non-value-added Business Tax Act Article 20 and Article 41); goods also subject to commodity tax or tobacco and alcohol tax have those amounts added to the tax base as well.
- Trade Promotion Service Fee: the statutory cap is 4.25 per 10,000 of the goods' value (Foreign Trade Act Article 21); it is currently charged at 4 per 10,000 of the dutiable value, and waived when the amount payable does not exceed NT$100.
- If the same taxpayer receives duty-free release more than 6 times within the same half-year period (January–June or July–December), imports after that point in the period are no longer duty-exempt (Ministry of Finance Order Tai-Cai-Guan-Zi No. 1061011007 dated May 26, ROC year 106 (2017)).
- A single express shipment may not be split and declared separately (Article 14 of the Regulations Governing Customs Clearance of Air Express Cargo).
- When a postal parcel exceeds the threshold, the entire parcel is taxed in full, not just the amount over the threshold (Article 8 of the Regulations Governing Customs Clearance of Postal Parcels).
