Full Details
Posting cosmetics to Taiwan in personal quantities is permitted — registration and notification regimes govern marketing cosmetics, not personal parcels. Customs Administration, Ministry of Finance (財政部關務署) applies the ordinary parcel framework to an accurate CN22/CN23 declaration: import VAT/GST at 5% applies above the exemption threshold, plus duty on above-threshold consignments. Taiwan's de minimis threshold for customs duty and business tax (VAT) exemption on imported goods is NTD 2,000 (approximately USD $65–$70). Goods valued at or below NTD 2,000 per shipment are exempt from customs duty and business tax. Goods above this threshold are subject to customs duty (rate varies by HS code) and business tax (5%). Taiwan has been considering adjustments to its de minimis rules in response to the growth in cross-border e-commerce. Aerosols and nail varnish are dangerous-goods limited quantities for air mail; bulk or repeated identical parcels are treated as unregistered commercial imports.
Keep parcels to personal quantities and declare contents specifically ('face cream', not 'gift'). Check carrier rules for aerosols and nail varnish — they are the commonly refused items in this class.
