Moving your belongings overseas, whether from a location such as New York, California, or even New Jersey, can be a costly and potentially overwhelming step for many. Delivering your car or motorcycle might seem like a huge endeavor, but using the right services can eliminate the stress. Make sure to research information about the dealers and check the reviews of services before you move. Once you have thoroughly researched and evaluated the dealers and services, you must make a copy of all the necessary documents, including the car's title, registration, registration, insurance, and insurance, to ensure a smooth and hassle-free car experience. Additionally, it is essential to research and compare different firms' prices to find the most cost-effective option. Once you have narrowed down your choices, reach out to the shortlisted companies to request a quote based on your specific car model and destination.
With careful planning, the process can go off without a hitch. From bustling Los Angeles to the far reaches of Taiwan, also known as the Republic of China (ROC), your shipments are in safe hands with our strategic logistics and careful transit planning. Taiwan is a small East Asian island featuring four significant ports - Kaohsiung, Keelung, Taichung, and Hualien. Each port is well equipped to handle container delivery, ensuring safety and care while delivering from the ship to the port.
International and local regulations regulate all these ports and can handle your shipments while ensuring your rights are safeguarded. We offer competitive rates and a transparent VAT calculation, which is added to the total delivery cost. If you're looking to haul, we understand the importance of ensuring that your rights are safeguarded and that you receive competitive rates with a transparent VAT calculation. When moving, working with a reputable company specializing in international hauling is essential. This will ensure that your car is handled carefully, that all necessary paperwork and customs requirements are fulfilled, and that you receive reliable tracking and updates throughout the process. Moving can be a convenient and efficient way to haul, allowing you to explore the beautiful island at your own pace.
If the vehicle you intend to export is valued at over $20,000 US Dollars, you must apply for an Import Permit from the Bureau of Foreign Trade (BOFT) before moving. No special permit is required if it is valued at USD 20,000 or less.
Costs
If the auto you intend to export is valued at over $20,000 US Dollars, you must ensure that all necessary documentation is in order. Before delivering your motorcycle, you must apply for an Import Permit from the Bureau of Foreign Trade (BOFT). No special permit is required if your motorcar is valued at USD 20,000 or less. However, if it is valued at over USD 20,000, you will need to navigate through the process of obtaining a special permit to haul. This permit, known as the Import Permission for Vehicles, is required by the government and can be obtained through the Ministry of Transportation and Communications. Once you have received the permit, you can then proceed with arranging the logistics. It is essential to carefully research and select a reputable company specializing in hauling to this destination.
Similar to most countries, Taiwan has several customs duties and charges associated with the importation for private use. The fees are calculated based on the commonly adopted formula for determining the vehicle’s “Customs Value” at CIF (Cost + Insurance + Freight). Once the Customs Value at CIF is calculated, individuals interested in engaging our services in Taiwan can proceed with the process, ensuring all necessary documentation is prepared and the correct method is selected. Working with a reputable company with experience and understanding the regulations and requirements is essential. Additionally, it is advisable to consider any additional costs, such as customs duties and taxes that may be incurred, as well as the regulations and documentation requirements set by the government for importing. Seeking guidance from a professional company experienced in moving can help streamline the process and ensure a smooth delivery.

How to Calculate Duties/Taxes/Fees
- Import Duty = Customs Value x 17.5%
- Commodity Tax = (Customs Value + Import Duty) x Commodity Tax Rate (the commodity tax rate varies from 25%-30% depending on its engine size)
- Business Tax = (Customs Value + Import Duty + Commodity Tax) x 5% (current business tax rate)
- Trade Promotion Service Fee = Customs Value x 0.04% (current trade promotion fee rate)
After clearing customs, the vehicle will then have to undergo an environmental protection inspection and pass an energy efficiency standard test, both of which are administered by the Automotive Research and Testing Center.
It is beneficial if the importer has the following documents available throughout the process to allow for a more seamless transition. This list is not all-encompassing, and it is in your best interest to consult directly with the Customs Department before arranging the delivery.
