transport routes.
Kaohsiung and Taoyuan are the most important international freight gateways.
For goods from Germany, the following are particularly suitable:
- Parcel and express networks
- Airfreight
- Sea Freight
For containers:
Port of Kaohsiung
the most important maritime access.
A typical freight chain might look like this, for example:
Germany → Kaohsiung → Recipient in Taiwan.
Other important ports include:
- Keelung
- Taichung
- Taipei Port
For air freight:
Taoyuan International Airport
the central gateway.
The choice of entry point should be based on the recipient.
For companies in the area:
- Taipei
- New-Taipei
- Taoyuan
- Hsinchu
Northern logistics hubs can be particularly useful.
For recipients in:
- I think
- Kaohsiung
- southern industrial areas
Kaohsiung is often more conveniently located.
Import duties
What import costs might arise in Taiwan?
Depending on the goods, the following can occur:
- Import duty according to tariff heading
- 5% Business Tax
- Commodity Tax (if applicable)
- 0,04% Trade Promotion Service Fee
- possibly other product-specific taxes
- Import permit and inspection costs
- Customs broker fees
- Carrier and storage fees
The import duty for normal German goods is generally based on the following:
WTO/MFN Tariff of Column I.
The import business tax is then generally levied on a tax base that is expanded to include customs duties and, where applicable, commodity tax.
Costs
How much does a package to Taiwan cost?
The actual transport price depends in particular on:
- Weight
- Dimensions
- Volumetric weight
- Carrier
- Shipping service
- destination
- Type of goods
- Additional Services
DHL Parcel International currently allows regular parcels up to:
20 kg.
The maximum limits for standard packages are:
120x60x60 cm
and:
300 cm girth.
The standard transport insurance costs:
up to 500 euros.
Additionally, supplementary insurance is currently available up to:
EUR 5.000
get booked.
Bulky goods are also possible.
The following currently applies to cuboid-shaped bulky goods in Taiwan:
- maximum length 105 cm
- maximum girth 300 cm
- maximum 20 kg
For shipments to Matsu and Kinmen, DHL has a reduced parcel limit of:
10 kg.
For large and relatively light boxes, the volumetric weight can determine the transport price.
You can find out more at Understanding and calculating volumetric weight.
Online Stores
E-commerce to Taiwan: Be aware of the NT$2.000 limit and import costs.
For German online retailers, Taiwan is a third-country destination.
The EU-IOSS regulation does not apply there.
Many low-value shipments are exempt from import duties if their customs value does not exceed:
2.000 New Taiwan Dollars
is.
Under the appropriate conditions, the following can then happen:
- Import duty
- Commodity Tax
- Business Tax
omitted.
However, the rule has exceptions and should therefore not be applied across the board to all goods.
If the shipment exceeds the duty-free allowance, the recipient may incur, among other things:
- Import duty
- 5% Business Tax
- Commodity Tax (if applicable)
- Handling fees
Under DAP, the recipient generally bears these import costs himself.
With DDP, the agreed import costs are borne by the seller.
Therefore, the following should be displayed at checkout if possible:
- Shipping costs
- Delivery time
- Customs status
- expected import duties
- DAP or DDP
You can find out more at Shipping costs, customs duties and import taxes are displayed at checkout..
Features
5% Business Tax instead of the classic term VAT
Taiwan officially refers to its general value-added tax as:
Business Tax.
The following generally applies to normal taxable goods:
5%.
For a German-language shipping website, the following terms can be used:
Business tax or value added tax
They can be used together so that customers can more easily categorize the delivery.
CCC code links customs and import law
The detailed CCC classification is particularly important.
The code does not only determine the pricing.
He can simultaneously access:
- Import permits
- Inspection obligations
- quarantine
- further product regulations
refer.
This makes the correct classification particularly valuable in Taiwan.
No general EU-Taiwan customs preference
Germany and Taiwan are WTO members or WTO customs territories.
Therefore, the corresponding WTO/MFN tariff treatment generally applies to normal German goods.
However, there is currently no general free trade agreement between the EU and Taiwan.
Therefore, an EUR.1 should not be used as a standard solution for a customs discount.
Kaohsiung and Taoyuan make Taiwan a major logistics hub
Taiwan possesses both efficient maritime and air freight infrastructure.
Kaohsiung handles millions of containers annually.
Taoyuan is also one of Asia's major air freight hubs.
This is particularly advantageous for high-quality, time-critical industrial goods.
Shipping service
Which carrier is suitable for Taiwan?
When comparing carriers, the following should be taken into account in particular:
- Transport price
- Runtime
- Customs service
- Tracking
- Insurance
- Weight limits
- bulky items options
- destination
- Import requirements
DHL currently lists the following for standard parcel shipping:
8 to 13 working days.
The storage period is:
15 days.
DHL specifies the following for the customs declaration:
- English
- French for online registration
DHL Parcel International currently offers:
- Parcels up to 20 kg
- Shipment Tracking
- Transport insurance up to 500 euros
- Additional insurance up to 5.000 euros
- Bulky goods up to 20 kg within country-specific limits
Matsu and Kinmen currently have a special package limit of:
10 kg.
For urgent spare parts and high-quality technical products, an express service should also be compared.
For pallets, machinery and larger quantities of goods, air or sea freight may be more economical.
In Taiwan, a six-digit HS code is often insufficient for a proper import inspection.
For import purposes, goods are classified according to the Taiwanese CCC nomenclature.
The specific code not only affects the customs duty rate, but can also determine whether additional import, inspection or approval regulations apply.
Calculating 5% Business Tax Correctly
The standard business tax is 5 percent. For imports, it is not only levied on the German invoice value, but on a tax base that includes customs duties and, where applicable, other excise taxes.
Determine the CCC code before pickup.
Taiwan uses a detailed Commodity Classification Code for imports. This code links customs duties and any applicable import regulations.
Check product-specific approvals
For regulated goods, additional requirements may apply, for example, in the areas of product safety, telecommunications, health, agriculture or food law.
Sending a package to Taiwan: What companies should know before shipping
Taiwan is located in the western Pacific Ocean and has a strongly export-oriented industry.
The most important economic and logistics regions are located particularly around:
- Taipei and New Taipei
- Taoyuan
- Hsinchu
- Taichung
- I think
- Kaohsiung
Hsinchu, Taoyuan, Tainan and Kaohsiung play a particularly important role in the following areas:
- Semiconductor
- Electronics
- Precision manufacturing
- Engineering
- Logistics
This creates many use cases for time-critical spare parts and high-quality technical components for German B2B senders.
What documents do I need for Taiwan?
Customs specifies the following in particular for a regular import declaration:
- Commercial invoice or trade invoice
- Packing List
- Import Declaration
- Delivery Order or Air Waybill (if applicable)
- Power of attorney for the Customs Broker, if applicable.
- (if applicable) catalog, technical description or drawing
- Certificate of Origin (if applicable)
- Import permit (if applicable)
- further product-specific evidence
Commercial invoices and packing lists are particularly important for regular commercial imports.
The invoice should contain precise details of:
- Recipients
- description of goods
- Brand
- Quantity
- Specification
- Model
- Price
- Fracht
- Insurance
For technical goods, Customs may also request additional product documentation.
How long do I have to complete the customs declaration?
The importer must generally submit the import declaration within:
15 days after the arrival of the means of transport
abgeben.
Pre-registration is possible as soon as the carrier has transmitted the necessary manifest data.
For normal B2B goods, this process is often handled by the local customs broker.
Do I need a EUR.1 for Taiwan?
For a standard delivery:
Germany → Taiwan
There is currently no general free trade preference between the European Union and Taiwan.
One:
EUR.1
This does not grant a general reduced import duty to a normal German product.
However, Customs can, if necessary, a:
Certificate of Origin
desire.
This is proof of origin, but not automatically proof of preferential origin.
The EU and Taiwan do not have a classic free trade agreement.
The European Union and Taiwan have close trade and investment relations.
Since 2022, these have been in:
EU-Taiwan Trade and Investment Dialogue
deepened.
However, there is currently:
No general EU-Taiwan free trade agreement.
This means that the normal Taiwanese WTO/MFN customs tariff should generally be used for German exports.
Taiwan has been a WTO member since 2002.
Within the framework of the World Trade Organization, the official designation is:
Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu (Chinese Taipei).
WTO membership has existed since:
January 1, 2002.
Germany and Taiwan are thus both integrated into the WTO system.
This is particularly relevant for German goods because, in principle, the first Taiwanese tariff column with WTO/MFN treatment applies.
The EU and Taiwan trade heavily in machinery and high-tech products.
Taiwan was the winner in 2025:
13th largest trading partner of the European Union.
The total volume of goods traded reached:
76,2 billion euros.
The EU exported goods worth:
30,9 billion euros
to Taiwan.
Especially noticable:
In 2025, 63,3% of EU exports to Taiwan consisted of machinery and transport equipment.
Further:
14,6%
chemicals and related products accounted for.
This makes Taiwan a particularly good fit for German B2B companies:
- Engineering
- Automation
- Chemistry
- Production engineering
- Automotive
How long does it take for a package to Taiwan?
DHL currently lists the following for standard parcel shipping:
8 to 13 working days.
The storage period is:
15 days.
The actual runtime can be affected by:
- Customs clearance
- missing documents
- Import permits
- Goods inspections
- destination
For:
- urgent spare parts
- Semiconductor Technology
- Production material
- high-quality measuring instruments
- Medical Technology
An express service might be more practical.
Create a customs declaration in English
DHL currently states:
- English
- French for online registration
as permitted languages.
For B2B goods:
English
This is usually the most practical option.
The product description should be as precise as possible.
Not:
“Electronic parts”
but for example:
“Industrial optical sensor for automated packaging machines”.
Even better is a description that includes:
- Product Type
- Material
- Other specifications
- Usage
emerge.
Write the address for Taiwan correctly
DHL charges the following for international shipments:
- Latin letters
- Arabic numerals
An example of a business address could be:
ABC Automation Taiwan Co., Ltd.
No. 100, Section 2, Zhongxiao East Road
TAIPEI CITY 100
TAIWAN
Additionally, the following should be considered if possible:
- Phone number
- Email address
the recipient's information will be stored.
This information can help avoid delays, especially with customs inquiries and delivery notifications.
Kaohsiung is Taiwan's most important container gateway.
For sea freight:
Port of Kaohsiung
a central importance.
The port is Taiwan's largest container port and handles several million TEU annually.
In 2025, approximately:
8,89 million TEU
dispatched.
From January to August 2026, the number was already around:
5,74 million TEU.
The port has modern container terminals and is directly connected to the industrial and manufacturing regions in southern Taiwan.
Kaohsiung is particularly relevant for German companies in the following areas:
- Machine
- Production facilities
- Pallets
- containers
- Automotive components
- industrial goods
The seventh container terminal increases capacity.
Kaohsiung has undergone significant modernization in recent years.
The:
Seventh Container Terminal
It features automated or highly digitized container processes.
This allows the port to efficiently handle large international container ships.
For freight customers, this strengthens Kaohsiung's role as Taiwan's most important maritime gateway.
Taoyuan is the central air freight gateway
For smaller and time-critical goods:
Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport
the most important role.
The airport is closely connected to:
- Express logistics
- Electronics industry
- Semiconductor supply chains
- international air freight
connected.
From January to May 2026 alone, approximately:
1,08 million tons of air freight
dispatched.
For:
- urgent spare parts
- Electronics
- Semiconductor Technology
- Medical Technology
- Measuring devices
- high-quality small components
Air freight is therefore particularly relevant.
Free trade and bonded zones can defer import duties.
Taiwan has:
- Free Trade Port Zones
- Science Parks
- Bonded Warehouses
- Bonded Factories
- Logistics Centers under Customs Supervision
If foreign goods are brought directly into appropriately approved customs or free zones, they are initially not treated as a normal import into the Taiwanese domestic market for business tax purposes, under certain conditions.
This might be of interest to:
- regional warehousing
- Production
- Reexport
- High-tech supply chains
If goods are subsequently transferred to the normal Taiwanese market, the relevant import regulations must be observed.
Small shipments up to NT$2.000 can be duty-free.
A special limit applies to many low-value packages.
The maximum customs value is:
2.000 New Taiwan Dollars
In principle, they can:
- Import duty
- Commodity Tax
- Business Tax
omitted.
However, there are exceptions.
The tax exemption does not apply in the same way to certain:
- Tobacco products
- Alcohol
- Agricultural goods with tariff quotas
and other special constellations.
Therefore, commercial e-commerce should not categorically advertise every small shipment as duty-free.
Kinmen and Matsu have a special arrangement with DHL
Taiwan is not just the main island.
DHL Parcel International currently has a special weight limit for shipments to:
- Matsu
- Kinmen or Quemoy
According to DHL, packages can currently only be delivered to that location up to:
10 kg
permitted.
For the main island, however, DHL parcels are available up to:
20 kg
available.
For recipients on outlying islands, the specific carrier coverage should therefore be checked before booking.
Product inspections are continuously updated.
Taiwan regularly updates its Import Regulation Codes.
Even in 2026, new, specific CCC codes were introduced:
- Import restrictions
- Control codes
- official inspection obligations
connected.
Therefore, an import check that has been carried out once should not be used unchecked for years in the case of regular shipments.
This is particularly relevant in the case of:
- Medical devices
- food
- Plants and animal products
- Chemicals
- Telecommunication technology
Automate recurring customs information
For regular shipments to Taiwan, key product data should already be stored in the ERP or shop system.
These include:
- Product name
- HS or CCC code
- Origin of goods
- cart value
- Weight
- Dimensions
- Import or registration information, if applicable.
This data can then be automatically processed into:
- Shipping label
- Commercial invoices
- packing lists
- customs data
- Tracking information
be taken over.
Companies with appropriate ERP structures can, for example, use a SAP shipping interface for international shipping processes use.
These errors are delaying shipments to Taiwan
Typical problems arise particularly from incorrect classification or overlooked import regulations.
Common mistakes include:
- The product description is too general.
- CCC code is missing or incorrect
- Only the six-digit HS code was checked.
- The value of the goods cannot be verified.
- Freight and insurance costs are missing from the customs value.
- 5% business tax is only calculated on the invoice amount.
- Commodity tax is not taken into account for the goods concerned.
- Trade Promotion Service Fee is overlooked
- The Import Regulation Code was not reviewed.
- The necessary import permit is missing.
- Certificate of Origin was not prepared if required
- EUR.1 is incorrectly used as a general proof of preferential origin.
- The country of dispatch is being confused with the country of origin.
- The NT$2.000 limit is applied across the board to all goods.
- Special rules for Kinmen or Matsu are not taken into account.
- The recipient is unreachable for customs inquiries.
Especially with technical B2B shipments, the importer should confirm the CCC code and any product requirements before collection, if possible.
What goods are imported into Taiwan?
Taiwan has a highly industrialized and strongly export-oriented economy.
Particularly important are:
- Semiconductor industry
- Electronics
- Engineering
- Information and communication technology
- Automotive and vehicle supply
- Chemistry
- Metalworking
- Medical Technology
- renewable energy
- precision engineering
The following goods may be of particular interest to German companies:
- Machines and production facilities
- Machine spare parts
- Automation and control technology
- Measurement and testing technology
- Electrical Engineering
- Sensors
- Pumps and drive technology
- Hydraulic and pneumatic components
- Tools and precision tools
- Semiconductor and production equipment
- Vehicle and machine components
- chemical products
- Laboratory and medical technology
- Air conditioning and refrigeration technology
- Energy and offshore wind technology
European trade data also demonstrates the strong industrial focus.
Machinery and transport equipment constitute by far the most important category of goods exported by the EU to Taiwan.
For Paket International, Taiwan is therefore a particularly attractive destination for:
- Spare parts
- Production components
- capital goods
- high-quality technical goods
interesting.
CCC code instead of just the general HS code
Taiwan uses the following for practical import testing:
Standard Classification of Commodities, CCC.
The codes can be changed except for:
10 posts
will be detailed.
Companies can search for: via the government database
- HS code
- CCC code
- Product description
- Import Regulation Code
search.
The CCC code influences, among other things:
- Import duty
- Import permits
- Inspection obligations
- Quarantine regulations
- Product safety requirements
Especially with technical products, one should therefore avoid using a product number that is too coarse, with six digits.
You can find out more at Determine the correct customs tariff number.
Important information about customs and import duties
DAP or DDP to Taiwan
Before shipping, it should be clearly stipulated who will handle import clearance and import costs.
For DAP The seller generally organizes the transport to the agreed destination.
The recipient is generally responsible for import clearance and the associated costs.
This can include:
- Import duty
- 5% Business Tax
- Commodity Tax (if applicable)
- Trade Promotion Service Fee
- possibly other product-specific taxes
- Import permit or inspection costs
- Customs broker fees
- Carrier and storage fees
For DDP In contrast, the seller assumes the agreed import costs and further import obligations.
Depending on the carrier and import situation, DDP delivery may be possible in principle.
However, before a binding calculation is made, at least the following should be checked:
- CCC code
- Customs value
- Import duty
- Business Tax
- Commodity Tax (if applicable)
- further import duties
- Import permits
- local importer
- Customs Broker
For technical goods, it should also be checked whether:
- Product inspection
- Registration
- Certification
- special import clearance
necessary is.
A Landed Cost Calculation It should therefore be based on the actual CCC code.
What is the import duty in Taiwan?
There is no uniform import duty for Taiwan.
The Customs Administration uses a:
eight-figure import tariff.
In addition, a more detailed CCC nomenclature is used in foreign trade law.
Taiwan distinguishes three tariff columns in its import tariff.
Column I: WTO and MFN tariffs
The first tariff column generally applies to goods from:
- WTO members
- States or territories with corresponding reciprocal treatment
Germany is a WTO member.
Therefore, for normal German goods, the following generally applies:
Column I
the relevant starting tariff.
Column II: special preferential arrangements
The second column contains customs allowances for certain:
- Free Trade Agreements
- Economic cooperation agreements
- Development and preference programs
However, the European Union and Germany are currently not among the partners for whose normal goods deliveries a general Taiwan FTA preference exists.
Column III: other goods
If neither Column I nor Column II can be applied, the third tariff column is generally used.
However, for normal German exports, Column I is regularly relevant due to WTO membership.
Customs duties can vary significantly.
Taiwan charges depending on the tariff position:
- ad valorem duties
- specific duties
- combined tariffs
The basic calculation for an ad valorem duty is as follows:
Customs value × customs rate = import duty.
Certain agricultural products may also:
- Tariff quotas
- special protective measures
- other special customs mechanisms
be valid.
A general statement such as:
"Taiwan levies a 5 percent customs duty"
is therefore not reliable.
CIF forms the basis of the customs value
Customs generally uses a duty-paid value based on the following for its calculations:
FOB + freight + insurance.
This is essentially the same as:
CIF value.
For large or heavy goods, international transport costs can therefore have a noticeable impact on import duties.
Additional 0,04% Trade Promotion Service Fee
In addition to traditional import taxes, Taiwan also levies:
Trade Promotion Service Fee.
The current rate is:
0,04% of the customs value.
If the calculated fee is no more than 100 New Taiwan Dollars, it will not be charged according to current customs rules.
What is the value-added tax in Taiwan?
The general excise tax on goods and services is officially known as:
Business Tax
bezeichnet.
The following applies to the regular VAT system:
5%.
Imported goods are also generally subject to this tax, unless a legal import exemption applies.
How is the import business tax calculated?
The import tax is not levied solely on the German invoice amount.
Customs generally uses the following calculation basis:
Duty-Paid Value + Import Duty + any applicable Commodity Tax or other relevant excise taxes.
This will be:
5% Business Tax
calculated.
Simplified:
(CIF customs value + customs duty + relevant excise duty) × 5%.
Commodity tax may also apply.
Certain goods are subject to import duties and business tax, as well as an additional charge:
Commodity Tax.
This only applies to legally defined product groups.
For certain goods, the commodity tax is initially based on:
Customs value + import duty
determined.
It is then additionally included in the tax base for the 5 percent business tax.
Therefore, DDP should not automatically be associated with:
Customs duty + 5%
be expected.
Certain imports are exempt from business tax.
Taiwan provides statutory import exemptions for certain items, including:
- international transport
- legally exempt goods
- certain other special cases
.
However, for normal commercial industrial imports, the 5 percent business tax is generally to be expected.
Electronic customs declaration via the CPT Single Window
Taiwan has a highly digitized customs clearance system.
Import declarations can be submitted electronically via:
Customs-Port-Trade Single Window, CPT Single Window
to be submitted.
Electronic registration can be done directly or via a:
Customs Broker
respectively.
Depending on the risk classification, customs declarations are assigned to different clearance channels.
C1, C2 and C3 control the control depth
Customs uses, among other things, the following clearance methods for electronic import declarations:
- C1
- C2
- C3
In the case of uncomplicated C1 clearance, the shipment can generally be released without additional document or goods inspection.
At C2 or C3:
- Document review
- further evidence
- physical goods inspection
will be necessary.
A precise product description and a correct CCC code therefore reduce unnecessary inquiries.
Import regulations are directly linked to CCC codes.
The International Trade Administration operates its own database:
Classification of Commodities and Regulations.
Current import requirements can be retrieved there using the specific CCC code.
Import Regulation Codes may, for example, indicate that additional:
- permits
- control
- Quarantine documents
- Product approvals
are necessary.
The database is constantly updated.
New or amended import codes continued to be published in 2026.
You can find more information about the consistent transmission of such data at Automate shipping documents and reduce errors.
Frequently Asked Questions about Shipping
Can I send a package from Germany to Taiwan?
Yes. Parcels, express shipments, and business goods can be sent from Germany to Taiwan. Since Taiwan is outside the EU's single market for customs purposes, complete customs information is required for shipments.
How long does it take for a package to Taiwan?
DHL currently estimates delivery times of 8 to 13 business days for standard parcel shipping. Customs clearance, import controls, and the actual destination can affect delivery time.
What is the value-added tax in Taiwan?
The standard business tax is 5 percent. For imports, it is generally calculated on the customs value plus import duties and any other applicable excise taxes.
What is the import duty in Taiwan?
The import duty depends on the specific tariff classification. For goods from WTO members such as Germany, the WTO/MFN tariff of the first Taiwanese tariff column is generally applicable.
What is a CCC code in Taiwan?
CCC stands for Standard Classification of Commodities. Taiwan uses this detailed commodity classification to assign customs tariffs and product-specific import regulations, among other things. The codes can be detailed down to ten digits.
Do I need a EUR.1 for Taiwan?
No, not as a general proof of preferential origin for ordinary German exports. There is currently no general free trade agreement between the European Union and Taiwan that would allow an EUR.1 certificate to trigger a reduced import duty.
What documents do I need for Taiwan?
For commercial imports, a commercial invoice, packing list, and import declaration are required. Depending on the transport route and goods, additional documents such as an air waybill or delivery order, certificate of origin, import permit, technical documentation, or other certificates may be necessary.
Is there a duty-free allowance for small packages in Taiwan?
Many shipments with a customs value of up to 2.000 New Taiwan Dollars are exempt from import duties, commodity tax, and business tax. However, exceptions apply to certain goods and special cases.
How is the import business tax calculated?
Customs generally calculates the 5% business tax on the duty-paid value plus import duty and, where applicable, commodity tax or other relevant excise taxes.
Which port is particularly important for freight to Taiwan?
Kaohsiung is Taiwan's most important container port. In 2025, it handled approximately 8,89 million TEUs. Keelung and Taipei Port can also be logistically interesting for recipients in the north.
Which airport is important for air freight to Taiwan?
Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport is the most important international air freight gateway. The airport plays a central role, especially for time-critical electronics, spare parts, semiconductor technology, measuring instruments, and medical technology.
Can I ship to Taiwan DDP?
Depending on the carrier and import situation, DDP delivery may be possible. Beforehand, the importer, customs broker, CCC code, customs value, import duty, 5% business tax, any applicable commodity tax, and import and product safety requirements should be checked.
