When shipping goods to Taiwan, you are legally required to complete and send a customs declaration with your shipment. Whether you’re sending personal effects or a gift, if your shipment does not have a customs invoice attached, it will not make it past your local country border, and you may have to pay return charges to get it back. My Baggage will automatically provide you with the appropriate customs documents for you to complete and attach to your shipment when you send your luggage to Taiwan./p>
Generally, My Baggage shipments clear customs in a timely manner, free from duties and taxes, as most countries offer a generous duty-free allowance for personal effects. However, as most customs processes and allowances differ around the world, we do advise doing your own research into Taiwan customs regulations before booking your shipment. Please make yourself aware of any potential customs duties./p>
Shipments entering Taiwan with a small declared value of less than $60 will generally be exempt from duty. In order to gain duty relief on larger shipments, Taiwanese citizens must provide additional documentation to support their declaration. Non-Taiwanese citizens must also provide proof of study or employment if relocating to Taiwan for work or study. As well, shipments must be sent within 6 months of the consignee’s arrival.
When sending your belongings with My Baggage, we recommend using either suitcases or strong cardboard boxes to package your items so they are suitable for transit./p>
We advise against using fragile or expensive suitcases, as packaging is not covered under our compensation cover. With regards to boxes, it’s always best to invest in a new, sturdy, double-walled cardboard box as they are most durable and suitable for transit./p>
If you are sending fragile or delicate items, we recommend using internal packaging to protect them during transit. You can use materials such as bubble wrap or newspapers./p>
