Taiwan is one of the key export markets for Vietnamese goods, not only due to its high consumer demand but also because it serves as a gateway for Vietnamese products to reach European, American, and East Asian markets. In recent years, Vietnam’s export structure to Taiwan has shifted positively toward sustainability, with an increasing share of processed industrial goods, agricultural products, forestry products, and seafood.

According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Taiwan not only has diverse consumer preferences but is also a crucial export market for Vietnam. Notably, the Vietnamese community in Taiwan, with over 300,000 people, plays a vital role in boosting bilateral trade and promoting Vietnamese product consumption habits in Taiwan.

According to statistics from the Taiwan International Trade Administration (TITA), in January 2025, the total import-export turnover between Vietnam and Taiwan exceeded USD 1.93 billion, up 1.12% compared to the same period in 2024:

• Taiwan’s imports from Vietnam reached USD 721.65 million, an increase of 12.27% year-over-year.
• Taiwan’s exports to Vietnam amounted to USD 1.21 billion, a slight decline of 4.52%.

This marks the 11th consecutive month that Vietnamese exports to Taiwan have recorded growth, despite the impact of the off-peak season and the Lunar New Year holiday.

Updated Procedures for Exporting Goods to Taiwan

Exporting goods to Taiwan is becoming increasingly convenient due to open trade policies and strong bilateral economic cooperation. However, to ensure smooth export processes, businesses must be well-informed about the latest customs procedures and regulations.

Customs Documentation for Exporting to Taiwan 

Standard export documentation includes:

• Business registration certificate of the exporting company (required for first-time exports only).
• Tax identification certificate (required for first-time exports only).
• Commercial contract between the exporting company and the Taiwanese partner.
• Packing list.
• Container handover report.

Shipping Mark – Ensuring Smooth Transport 

To facilitate transportation and customs clearance, businesses should attach shipping marks to cargo packages. Shipping marks help identify goods, minimizing errors during handling and shipping.

Certificate of Origin – Meeting Partner Requirements

However, Taiwanese partners may request a certificate of origin to benefit from tariff incentives under free trade agreements (FTAs). Businesses should check specific customer requirements and prepare the necessary documents accordingly.

Export Tariffs to Taiwan 

Taxes applicable when exporting goods to Taiwan may include:

• Import duty (depending on the type of goods and trade agreements).
• Value-added tax (VAT).
• Environmental protection tax (if applicable).

Businesses should determine the HS Code of their products to look up the exact tariff rates. In some cases, a product may have multiple applicable HS Codes, and businesses can choose the one with the most favorable tariff.
