Export from Taiwan

Taiwan has a developed capitalist economy that ranks as the 19th-largest in the world by purchasing power parity (PPP). The economy of Taiwan ranks the highest in Asia for 2015 Global Entrepreneurship Index (GEI) for specific strengths. Most large government-owned banks and industrial firms have been privatized. 

Exports of Taiwan have grown even faster and since World War II, have provided the primary impetus for industrialization. Inflation and unemployment are low; the trade surplus is substantial; and foreign reserves are the world's fourth largest. Traditional labor-intensive industries are steadily being moved off-shore and replaced with more capital- and technology-intensive industries.

Taiwan is the world's largest exporter of contract computer chip manufacturing (foundry services) and is a leading LCD panel manufacturer, DRAM computer memory, networking equipment, and consumer electronics designer and manufacturer. Taiwan's economy is export-oriented. Taiwan's main exports are electronics, basic metals, plastics and rubber, optical and photographic instruments and chemicals.

Main exports partners of Taiwan are Mainland China and Hong Kong, USA, Japan, Europe and ASEAN countries.

 

Import to Taiwan

Taiwan has a dynamic, capitalist, export-driven economy with gradually decreasing state involvement in investment and foreign trade. In keeping with this trend, some large government-owned banks and industrial firms are being privatized. Real growth in GDP has averaged about 8% during the past three decades. Exports have provided the primary impetus for industrialization. The trade surplus is substantial, and foreign reserves are the world's fifth largest. The Republic of China (Taiwan) has its own currency, the New Taiwan dollar.

Foreign trade has been the engine of Taiwan's rapid growth during the past 40 years. Taiwan's economy depends on an open world trade regime and remains vulnerable to downturns in the world economy.

Imports of Taiwan are dominated by raw materials and capital goods, which account for more than 90% of the total. Taiwan imports most of its energy needs. A lack of natural resources had made Taiwan dependent on imports. Taiwan's main imports are mineral products and basic metals, electronic products, chemicals, machinery.

Main import partners of Taiwan are Japan, Mainland China and Hong Kong, USA, Europe and ASEAN countries.

Two-column tariff based on the Harmonised System. Most duties are ad valorem (per cent), based on the GATT Valuation Code - approximately Cost, Insurance and Freight (CIF) value (Incoterms 1990). Preference is granted to countries having trade agreements or diplomatic relations with Taiwan.

The Ministry of Finance administers customs regulations and procedures in Taiwan. Goods imported are liable to ad valorem duty determined and calculated on the transaction value. Tariff rates vary depending on the product.

Some applications for Automatic Approval items must be made to authorised banks; other items may be permitted entry without a licence. Applications for Covering Licence items must be made to the Board of Foreign Trade. Licences are valid for six months.

Permitted imports are classified into two categories:

- controlled: government monopoly controlled items e.g. petroleum, strategic and military supplies and imported items which compete with the produce of emerging domestic industries

- permissible: all other items.

All importers, except those authorised to import on a deferred payment basis, must make a deposit with a foreign exchange bank within 14 days after approval of their import licence. The current rate of deposit is 10 per cent of the CIF value (Incoterms 1990).
