What You May Want to Know
About Customs & Compliance.

Our sales team has compiled the questions clients ask most often, helping you quickly grasp the key facts about this service.

AEO (Authorized Economic Operator) is a high-compliance business certification recognized by customs authorities worldwide. AEO-certified companies enjoy green-lane treatment — most shipments are released automatically without physical inspection, with Taiwan AEO clearance times of about 2–6 hours.
Incorrect HS classification can lead to: wrong duty rates, fines and late-payment penalties, cargo holds and delays, and retroactive back-duty assessments spanning multiple years. Mingsung files advance rulings for clients with a 94% first-submission approval rate.
The ECFA Early Harvest List covers 539 Taiwanese export product categories, enjoying preferential rates of 0–5% (vs. MFN rates of 5–15%).
The drawback mechanism lets Taiwanese manufacturers who import raw materials, process them and re-export them as finished goods claim a refund of 99% of duties paid.
About 3–6 months from application to issuance. The process: (1) submit the application and self-assessment questionnaire; (2) on-site customs audit; (3) gap remediation and approval.
