Customs and Trade Compliance in Taiwan (Republic of China)
Imports into Taiwan (Republic of China) operate under Taiwan Customs enforcement where importer registration, correct HS classification, invoice-backed valuation, and conformity documentation are central for regulated technology and high-value industrial equipment.
Key compliance requirements include:
• Customs filings through a locally accountable importer entity
• Correct HS code classification under Taiwan tariff schedules
• Declared customs value in TWD supported by transaction evidence
• VAT and duty assessment depending on category
• Country-of-origin reporting and trade agreement handling
• Technical documentation review for sensitive equipment
• End-user and end-use declarations for controlled technology
When acting as the Importer of Record (IOR), Uproot Technologies serves as the responsible importer entity for customs declarations, VAT and duty settlement, and compliant clearance execution in Taiwan.

Sector-Specific Import Controls and Execution Requirements
Semiconductor Equipment
Taiwan is the global centre of semiconductor manufacturing, driving continuous imports of lithography-adjacent systems, wafer inspection tools, cleanroom equipment, testing platforms, and advanced fabrication components. Semiconductor equipment shipments require disciplined HS alignment and clearly stated technical purpose.
Remote-Hands support assists with secure receiving and controlled site delivery for high-value fab equipment.
Data Centre Hardware
Taiwan’s dense digital economy supports steady imports of enterprise servers, storage arrays, networking systems, and power infrastructure, particularly around the Taipei technology corridor.
Remote-Hands support enables staged delivery, deployment-ready coordination, and controlled handover for mission-critical IT hardware.
IT and Telecommunications Equipment
Carrier-grade networking hardware, enterprise routing systems, switching platforms, and telecom infrastructure imports remain critical as Taiwan maintains one of Asia’s most advanced connectivity environments.
Uproot Technologies provides Importer of Record services and Exporter of Record (EOR) services for compliant telecom import execution.
Laboratory and Research Equipment
Taiwan’s R&D intensity continues to drive imports of analytical instruments, precision measurement systems, research-grade diagnostic platforms, and advanced laboratory infrastructure for universities and industrial innovation hubs.
Remote-Hands support supports secure delivery and structured handover.
Medical Devices
Regulated healthcare technology imports require strong documentation alignment and accountable importer coverage under Taiwan’s compliance frameworks.
Remote-Hands support assists with healthcare deliveries and controlled handover.
Aerospace Components and Industrial High-Value Hardware
