What import regulation codes commonly appear in Chapter 88?

Import regulation codes are marked on the tariff line and indicate inspection, quarantine, permit, or mainland China import controls that may need to be handled before import. 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.
